The Testimony of J.C. White ...Patrolman

[Marjan Rynkiewicz]

His testimony says that he was on the north side of Main:


Mr. BALL. Where were you?
Mr. WHITE. Standing on the west side of the overpass.
Mr. BALL. On the west side of the overpass?
Mr. WHITE. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Where were you with reference to Elm. Main or Commerce as they go underneath the overpass?
Mr. WHITE. Approximately at the north curb of Main Street.
Mr. BALL. Approximately the north curb of Main on the corner of the north curb of Main? That would be--
Mr. WHITE. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. On the west side of the overpass?
Mr. WHITE. Yes.

Yes -- but we know that he was on the south side.

Here is view to White from near Houston.

[Charles Collins]

Yes -- but we know that he was on the south side.

We do? How do we “know” this?

[Marjan Rynkiewicz]

The McIntire photos can't speak to where Officer White was at an earlier time. It's also uncertain that White is visible in the photos.

I reckon that that is White's white cap -- or his face.

[Marjan Rynkiewicz]

We do? How do we “know” this?

If he was on the north side of Main then he must have been hiding behind the pillar or on his knees peering tween the posts when McIntire took his pix.
And the usurper on the south side of Main must have been invisible to White.
But i feel sure that there is wordage saying so, somewhere.

[Charles Collins]

I reckon that that is White's white cap -- or his face.

White even marked his position on exhibit A.

And I believe that Holland said that White was right behind him the last time he looked, just before the motorcade arrived in Dealey Plaza.

 Perhaps an aerial view looking east might help--

Mr. BALL. First time you saw the President's car it was going underneath?
Mr. WHITE. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. What did you do after that?
Mr. WHITE. As soon as the train passed I went over and on the northwest side of the Depository Building. 

How could White have seen the president's car 'going underneath' if ---1. He was on the west side of the underpass and 2. If there was a train going by?
The train array must be 50 or 60 ft across and the limo was absolutely gassing it by the time it reached the west side ..so we are talking about 5-10 seconds not 5-10 minutes for a train to pass by.

Foster was behind Holland -- standing on a railways cabinet.



The cabinet was similar to this cabinet -- but closer to the camera here -- ie out of frame.
