Ted Callaway - Witness to the shooting of Dallas Police Officer J. D. Tippit

Some of these witnesses changed their story under pressure to agree with the narrative that Oswald was the shooter. I walked from Oswalds rooming house to the Tippet shooting spot and Oswald could not have gone to the Tippet shooting scene and the Texas Theater in the time ascribed to him. Mrs, Aquilla Clemons who lived near the shooting said she saw two men one quite stocky. Oswald probably went to the Theater after he left the rooming house which I also visited after having visited the Tippet plaque. Keep in mind Jack Ruby only lived a few blocks from the Tippet murder and one could describe him as stocky.

Callaway is described as a star witnesses for the WC. Interesting that this star witness gave a different physical description and escape route of the suspect than the other star witness, Helen Markham. The fact is, Callaway did not see anyone shot anyone. He saw a person leaving the scene and was one of the first persons on the scene after the shooting but he did not see who shot Tippit.

[@aaronz7056]

Nearly a dozen witnesses ID'd Oswald as the man they saw shoot Tippit and/or flee the scene. Shells were matched right to Oswald's revolver. Oswald owned and was in possession of that revolver. Oswald was plainly seen after trying to hide from passing police. Oswald was plainly seen ducking into the theater to dodge more passing police. Oswald was caught red-handed trying to shoot a second cop. Oswald was caught fighting so violently 3 officers were injured just disarming him. Oswald observed, "Well, they say it only takes a minute to die" after asking about the penalty for cop-killing. There is no point in having an imposter attack a cop on a public street since Oswald was already being sought anyway. There is no logic in attacking a cop since if anything goes wrong here they just end up confirming a conspiracy exists.

Something odd about this testimony. Firstly he never witnessed anything - he heard shots. Why did the interviewer ask him, "where was he holding this gun" - before Ted said he was holding one? Why would you run holding a gun and in a raised position? Hey everybody, look it's me, the Assassin! What was he doing moving Tippet's pistol (was there anybody who saw Ted moving the gun from underneath Tippet's body?). Amazingly how quick somebody else had reported the shooting - there were no mobiles in those days - basically Ted was on the scene within seconds and he could use the squad car's radio to call it in. Ted was ex-military. This stinks.

Butch Burroughs- the Texas theater manager has Oswald coming into the theater between 1:00 - 1:07 PM. Butch had started the movie at 1:00 PM and proceeded to work behind the candy case @ 1:07 in the lobby where he easily observed the theater doors. Butch did not see Oswald enter the theater but Oswald did walk up to the counter at approximately 1:15 to get a popcorn and a coke from Butch. Movie managers are good witnesses and accountants of time because their job is based on starting movies on time so they are always observing the clock. By Oswald being in the theater @1:07 means that he can't be the shooter of Tippit. Let's look at Oswald's action when he gets in the theater. He sits next to a pregnant lady. There are only around 20 people in the entire theater so plenty of empty seats everywhere and he chooses to sit next to her. Nothing is said and after a few minutes, Oswald goes to the lobby doors. He then goes back into the theater and sits next to a gentleman for a few minutes. Nothing is said, so he gets up again and goes toward the lobby. This time he goes to the counter and buys a coke and popcorn from Butch. He then proceeds back into the theater area to sit next to a different gentleman and nothing was said so he gets up again and heads towards the lobby but then chooses to sit on the 4th or 5th row from the lobby doors. That is where Oswald is when the police came in and arrested him. He had a wallet on him with a half torn dollar bill in it. This is common trade craft in the intelligence world where upon meeting your contact, a half of a dollar bill is mated to the contact's half dollar bill to confirm the right person. By sitting next to all of these people, it is clear Oswald is looking for his intelligence contact. BTW, Captain Westbrook produces an Oswald wallet on the Tippit murder scene with the same credentials in it and WFAA reporters have picture proof of this. It is obvious that Captain Westbrook planted the wallet. Captain Westbrook would be working a year later for the Saigon police Dept as an employee of the CIA. Let's look at Tippit's actions: Just prior to 1:00 pm at around 12:45 pm, JD is observed sitting at the GLOCO gas station and bus stop. Witnesses who were familiar with JD recall seeing him and giving statements to this. The bus shows up and everyone gets off and JD hauls butt to the TopTen Record shop and uses their phone. He leaves there frantically and as he goes down the road he cuts off a car to force it to a stop. The car actually hits JD's patrol car causing minor damage. JD jumps out with gun drawn and yanks open the back door of the car. No one is there. JD apologizes to the driver of the car. He leaves there and a few minutes later is killed on the street in front of a driveway that separates houses at 604 E and 608 E 10th st . The lady who lived at 604 testifies that she thought JD lived at 608 because he frequented the location so often. This is what I presume to have happened after looking at Aquila Clemmons testimony saying that there were 2 men involved with JD's death. One short, fat guy in a suit and a tall, skinny guy. She said the short fat guy shot JD and told the skinny guy to go and they went in opposite directions. Unbeknownst to her, she just described Jack Ruby who lived in an apartment and this location on 10th street is exactly halfway between Oswald's boarding house and Jack Ruby's apartment. Jd was supposed to either arrest or shoot Oswald when he got off the bus to execute Plan A. Oswald, however, took a cab and messed this up for JD so JD went to the record shop to call and get further instruction. JD didn't arrive on 10th street by accident. The 608 E 10th st house was a CIA safe house and was being looked after by JD. JD was having an affair on his wife with a married lady who was pregnant with JD's baby. JD and his wife were in a rocky marriage and divorce was being talked about. JD would rendezvous with his mistress at the 10th st house. This is why the neighbor lady thought that JD lived there. JD became plan B. Ruby shoots JD and sends an Oswald lookalike on his way leaving a trail to the theater where an unsuspecting Lee is waiting and looking for his contact. As LHO 2 sneaks into the theater without paying and goes straight to the balcony. Oswald 2 is arrested at the same time as Lee except he is taken out the back door while Lee goes out the front door. Witnesses for both men occur. The question is? What would they have done if Lee had NOT followed orders and went to the theater? Don't worry! They had a Plan C: A guy named Donald Wayne House is getting gas at a station in Ft. Worth when a lady getting gas as well hears the description of JFK's assassin go out over the radio . She supposedly compares the description and Donald and calls the police. Ft. Worth arrests Donald. The description of Oswald is 5'10" and Donald might be between 5'4" -5'6". The amazing thing is Donald is a dead ringer for Oswald. The coincidence of it just too good. When Oswald was arrested at the theater then Ft Worth PD let Donald go free. Had Oswald had not been arrested in the theater, you can bet that Donald Wayne House would have been famous.

What about a cop car hiding in between a house very near tippets car an where he laid an fired. Conclusion. Tippet saw a grassy knowell shooter tippet was near the bus route where soon someone would have been out of town. Was tippet in on the jfk hit or was he on his own looking for a sniper who was on his way out of town. Roscoe white who had been a cop not very long his wife overheard a conversation that he was a grassy knowell shooter an he shot tippet...did tippit see Roscoe on the knowell with a rifle. There is a distant pic shows a cop shirt no hat rifle in hand did tippet see that. Did tippet run into a sniper who thought tippet was after him an they executed him.

What time did he hear the shooting

[@AirRyanTX]

I tend to side with John Armstrong's research on Tippit and Oswald. I believe Tippit's assignment was to pickup Oswald as he got off the city bus across the viaduct, next to the Gloco station. Maybe he was to get Oswald to the Texas Theater. When the bus arrived and Oswald didn't get off, Tippit knew something in the plan had begun to go afoul. Both Tippit and Oswald were to be sacrificed "for the cause." Stuart Leslie Reed's assignment was to photo the city bus #1213 driven by Cecil McWaters that Oswald got onto outside of the TSBD just 10 minutes after the shooting. Why/how in the world would he have otherwise been instructed to not only provide those high quality color photos of the bus, moments after the "big event," and then somehow ironically an hour later also be right there outside of the Texas Theater to get those famous photos of DPD dragging Oswald out? Reed also took photos of the 6th floor window of the TSBD before he headed over to Oak Cliff. There are no coincidences. Those photos are real and those are the facts. I think Captian Westbrook and Kenneth Croy were supposed to have stopped Oswald while he was still on that bus, and their plans were probably not to have taken him alive. Instead, Westbrook had to audible and head over to Oak Cliff. Remember, local WFAA Channel 8 newsreel footage captured on video showed DPD going through a wallet supposedly found on the ground of the Tippit murder scene, pulling out ID's for L.H. Oswald and Alek Heidel, his alias. This wallet would later be lost by DPD because it posed for a problem when Oswald would later be apprehended at the Texas Theater because Oswald still had his wallet in his possession. They couldn't have two Oswald wallets, now could they? What more do common sense minded good people you need to know that Oswald was being setup?

[@TRINZINI]

Great points ! Is there a book/article in particular that you'd recommend that expands on these fascinating facts ? (like the Stuart Leslie Reed story). Like you, I also think that while the assassination ploy went well, the "killing Oswald" part was totally botched, partly because Oswald quickly realized he was being set up. None of his post-assassination moves make any sense (ex : getting on a bus that's heading BACK to Dealey Plaza, etc.) except if he was obviously trying to confuse whoever was after him. I believe that Oswald was supposed to be shot either at the TSBD (from which he quickly fled) or at the Texas theater. The cops slowly came up to him after the film had been stopped, giving him a chance to run through the side exit into the side alley where I think other officers were waiting to shoot him ... but again, he didn't react as expected and just sat there until they came up to him. Oswald being alive for another 48 hours was a massive f** up in the plan, which probably explains why Jack Ruby spent the weekend roaming around the DPD, hoping to get a clean shot at Oswald ... which he finally got on Sunday morning, with the help of the DPD who delayed the transfer of Oswald UNTIL Ruby was in position.

[@AirRyanTX]

@@aaronz7056 You're being ignorantly naive. If you take the time to educate yourself on the topic, you would realize that in this theory both Tippit and Oswald were sacrificed to cover up for the murder of JFK by the actual people responsible, and that neither of them were co-conspirators in the murder of JFK. If Tippit were in on the conspiracy to the murder of JFK, there would "likely" have been little reason to murder him. (Other than to setup Oswald, of course.) Tippit "most likely" knew his murderer. Eyewitnesses observed Tippit at the Gloco station across the viaduct which was across the street from where the bus Oswald initially got on near the TSBD was to stop. J.W. Stark who was the owner of Top Ten Records in Oak Cliff witnessed Tippit acting erratically when he attempted to place a call in his store to no avail, moments before his death. Put the two events together and it's all but impossible to dismiss them as mere coincidence. Don't fool yourself and act like Tippit wasn't aware of "something." I'm not even accusing him of anything nefarious, just being party to "something" out of the ordinary.

Oswald was tested in December of 1956, and obtained a score of 212, which was 2 points above the minimum for qualifications as a "sharpshooter" in a scale of marksman--sharpshooter--expert. In May of 1959, on another range, Oswald scored 191, which was 1 point over the minimum for ranking as a "marksman." Based on the general Marine Corps ratings, Lt. Col. A. G.

Oswald shot JFK. His rifle was found near the 6th floor window. His fingerprints were found all over the rifle and the boxes surrounding his sniper nest. All 3 bullets were fired from Oswald's rifle. All shots came from the direction of the 6th floor window. The wounds to both JFK and Connally could only come from behind from the angle and direction of the 6th floor window. It was Oswald's gun used in the killing of Officer Tippet. He was the only employee not accounted for when a head count was taken after the assassination. If he wasn't guilty, why would he shoot Officer Tippet? Why would he leave work to go to the movie theater in the middle of a work day if he wasn't guilty?

The time line for him to have killed the president, killed Tippet ,and then be at the Theater was impossible. Even to get from his boarding house to Tippets murder scene is pushing it.

He may have been trying to meet with someone to get away or just wanted it at that point to be all public.

The witnesses had to be told the name of the suspects in the lineup as they all struggled to I.D. Oswald.

(Helen Markham fainted repeatedly at the lineup and had to be given smelling salts and was described by Warren Commission attorneys as being unreliable and even bat sh*t crazy.) Several of the witnesses described Oswald as being tall and thin. Oswald was certainly thin but I doubt anyone would describe him as tall. That proved to be a problem with the jacket as well that Westbrook "found" in the parking lot. It was not the same size that Oswald wore, and the brand, 'Maurice Haltman' was sold exclusively in Hollywood CA. and had a Hollywood Dry Cleaning ticket stapled to the inside of the jacket. Another strange thing was that they fingerprinted Tippit's' passenger side car window, and found prints but they were not Oswald's. That little tidbit did not end up in the WR. There is also the matter of the 2nd police car seen in the alley that Tippit's car blocked by 4 different witnesses. Ms. Holum who lived across the street said she saw from her second floor window the 2nd police car in the Alley and watched as it backed up out of the alley followed by a 2nd police officer on foot. More than one witness stated they saw a 2nd man who was dark and stocky.
