https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=10672&relPageId=246&search=arthur
Rating aggravating circumstances that in the aggregate, indicated corrupted intent of WC, DPD, FBI in what officials stated and published,
vs actual evidence.One to Ten rating assigned to each step or development after DPD Officer JD Tippit was shot and killed within one hour of the Assassination of JFK.
Merely suspicious details not yet assigned severity rating.
10. Suspect Oswald shot and mortally wounded in DPD basement, surrounded by DPD officers and while handcuffed to one detective escorting him.
Jack Ruby, known to many DPD officers "escaped notice" as he entered the DPD basement, made his way to Oswald, pulled his revolver shooting Oswald at point blank range.
9. The FBI reported receiving anonymous letter in 2nd week of December, 1963, stating FNU Smith
said Oswald was not the shooter of JD Tippit and address 328-1/2 East Eighth St.Harry Olsen, a DPD officer, whose fiance was employed by Ruby for 28 months, and another DPD officer he claimed not to remember identity of, were described
by Olsen providing 24 hour security at an "estate" at unstated East 8th St. address in close proximity to address of Tippit shooting witness William Arthur Smith.
No additional details were provided by Olsen, save for an admission he and his fiance spent some minutes conversing with Ruby about 12 hours after Tippit shot.
Smith was an admitted felon on probation and his friend observing the Tippit shooting with him was an AWOL US serviceman. Smith, a friend of son of Tippit shooting witness, Mrs. Markham, claimed he discussed the shooting with her very soon after.
Despite DPD's Olsen admitting spending that day in close proximity to the address included in the anonymous tip, save for naming FNU Smith with the address FBI reported interviewing witness Smith's father, prompted by the identical address being described in the anonymous tip, witness Smith failing to come forward to report witnessing DPD's Tippit's shooting, Mrs. Markham failing to mention to investigators her post shooting conversation with Smith, and the FBI's own confusion about Smith and his family residing at 328-1/2 8th St., an unusual street address number identical to Mrs. Markham's address on East Ninth, the
FBI seems to have conducted no further follow-up in reaction to the anonymous tip saying FNU Smith, 328-1/2 East 8th, influenced the letter writer to share with the tip with FBI that Oswald was not the shooter of Tippit,
the WC testimony of witness Smith was published in the WR stating Smith testified his street address was 328-1/2 East Davis. DPD Chief
Curry testified he had looked into how many DPD officers under him were acquainted with and interacted with Jack Ruby, then contradicted himself about the results of that inquiry, offering only reassurance there were not many.
Troubling and suspicious examples. Trust and cooperation between DPD and FBI began to erode by the morning after the JFK and Tippit shootings, cemented a day later in reaction by the FBI to the shooting of Oswald by Ruby in the DPD's basement. The DPD developed valid suspicion of the FBI's awareness of and relationship with Oswald before November 22. The circumstances of the arrest of Oswald at the Texas Theatre were controversial and Harry Olsen, who had moved to Long Beach with his fiance by February, 1964, said during a 1967 interview DPD Det. Gerry Hill was probably the closest to Ruby of all of Chief Curry's officers, changing the description of the East 8th St. location he was guarding at the time Tippit was shot from 'an estate," to a "ramshackle house". Det. Gerry Hill was associated with recovery of empty revolver husks at Tippit shooting scene, as was witness Virginia Davis who misrepresented her age to DPD and months later, to the WC. Key witness William Whaley told the press he had been awarded the Navy's highest combat award, had moved his own age to three years older sometime after filing his military draft registration in 1942, and abandoned his first-born son and namesake. Mary Bledsoe, a witness who described encountering Oswald on a city bus just before he approached William Whaley for a taxi ride away from the JFK shooting scene. Mary Bledsoe had an aunt identical to the aunt of notorious Dallas underworld figure and a JFK Assassination subject in his own rite, Russell Douglas Matthews.
DPD claimed after taking Oswald into custody and searching him, he was permitted to moved around the DPD, allegedly in possession of several loaded rounds
of the Tippit shooting revolver.
