The JFK Assassination Dallas Police Tapes -- This is history as it happened.
In the wake of the assassination, all hell broke loose on the two radio channels used by the Dallas Police Department. Although complicated by a technical glitch that took out Channel One (see below), the Dallas cops swung into action to clear the president's path to Parkland hospital, to find the killer or killers, to run down a variety of false leads and nuisances, and finally to capture the killer of one of their own.
What follows is the transcript of the Dallas police transmissions on both channels from 12:25 p.m, November 22nd, 1963, until the capture of Lee Oswald in the Texas Theater about 1:45 pm. Selected portions of the transmissions are available for listening in Real Media format. To hear these audio clips, you will need to have the Real Player downloaded and installed. Transmissions available as downloadable audio are highlighted in light orange. You can listen to them by clicking on the icon at the bottom of a particular segment.
EXAMPLES:
(Patrolman E.D. Brewer) We have a man here who says he saw him pull the weapon back through the window off of the second floor from the southeast corner of that depository building.
Dispatcher Notify 9 that we have information that the ladder that runs up to the roof on this building there is concealed space under a sheet metal plate, sheet metal has to be raised and there is some concealed space under that sheet metal. -- 1:33 p.m.
Tippit 19 Do you know what kind of call he was on?
Dispatcher What kind of what?
19 (Sgt. C.B. Owens: Tippit's supervisor) Was he on a call or anything?
Dispatcher NO
19 10-4.
19 We need somebody to notify that officer's wife.
19 Did you get anybody to go to the officer's house?
Dispatcher 19, were going to have 210 to contact you there and you give him the information. He said he'd handle it.
19 (Sgt. C.B. Owens) 10-4.
CALLER MESSAGE
210 Has anyone made arrangements or picked up Tippit's wife yet?
Dispatcher: I'm not sure 210
210 If you give me his address, I will go....go there and pick her up. I do not have anybody to send right now.
210 I'll call 505 for the address.
Dispatcher 10:4, 1:51 pm.
At 1:56 pm 210; I'm downtown. J.D. Tippit lives at7500 So. Beckley. I'm running Code 2 (URGENT) TO HIS WIFE'S HOUSE.
Dispatcher: Yes, go ahead. 1: 56 pm.
The 1963 Dallas City Directory listed the name of John E. Boone as the resident of 7500 So. Beckley. Telephone CA 43847.
Occupation: Press Operator at the Dallas Times Herald. The above transcript can be found at: CE 705, Vol. 17, PP. 471-472-473.
From the Warren Commission:
"At about 12:44 p.m., on November 22, the radio dispatcher on Channel 1 ordered all downtown patrol squads to report to Elm and Houston, code 3 (emergency)." At 12:45, the dispatcher ordered No.78 (Tippit) to "move into the Oak Cliff area." At about 12:45, Tippit reported that he was in the central Oak Cliff area at Lancaster and Eighth. The dispatcher then advised Tippit to "be at large for any emergency that comes in." (WR p. 165)
It is not sufficient to say that Tippit alone was ordered into the Oak Cliff section of Dallas at the height of excitement and bedlam. In the actual police transcript, the dispatcher orders two policemen into the Oak Cliff area at 12:45, No. 87 and No. 78. No 87 was patrolman R.C. Nelson. (See CE 1974, p.28)
After a close examination of the available evidence, it will become clear that there is reason to believe that no such order was dispatched that day.
In April 1964, pressure was put on Chief of Police Curry to explain Tippit's presence in District 91 where he was shot to death. This April request came after the WC had received two other transcripts of the Dallas transmissions supposedly made on 11-22-63. The Commission had hoped to find an explanation for Tippit's reason to be in District 91.
From Reasonable Doubt by Henry Hurt:
"The Warren Commission continued to struggle with the problem throughout the spring. It heard testimony from three supervisors from the Dallas Police Dept. who tried to explain why Tippit was in the wrong place. The reasons were purely speculative, vaguely suggesting the demonstrably absurd possibility that Tippit was heading for Dealey Plaza four miles away to be of assistance there. During this testimony, there never was any reference to the possibility that Tippit might have been ordered to central Oak Cliff by the radio dispatcher. And, of course, the three supervisors were quite aware of the intense effort being made to find an answer to the riddle.
The mystery remained unsolved until finally, in the spring, the WC requested and received a verbatim transcript - not one edited to include only transmissions related to Kennedy and Tippit. The Commission hoped that such a transcript might yield the elusive answer.
It must have been a stunning revelation for the commission to discover that the new transcripts contained, at least, the badly needed answer to the puzzle. According to the transcript - and supported by the actual tape-there was an order given to Tippit at 12:45 p.m., an inexplicable instruction believed to be unique in the Dallas Police Dept., it also had not been in the first transcript. Moreover, none of the police supervisors who testified earlier indicated that they knew anything about it." (Hurt, p.160)
The first transcript submitted to the WC was SAWYER EXHIBIT A. There is no recognizable mention of Tippit or an order to "move into the Oak Cliff area."
The second transcript submitted, the 12:45 order directing him to Oak Cliff was CE 705. It simply says: " 87-78 move into Central Oak Cliff." There is no response by either officer." Do we have a dyslexic dispatcher here? Evidence suggests that dyslexia results from differences in how the brain processes written and/or spoken language.
The strange thing about the order is that Officer R.C. Nelson, No 87, is also instructed to move into Central Oak Cliff along with Tippit. Why would these two policemen be singled out to patrol a district that was already being patrolled by Officer Wm. D. Mentzel.
Also strange about the dispatch; neither officer responded to the dispatcher that they heard the order. The next time Nelson is heard from is at 12:52 when he signaled the dispatcher and informed him that he is " Out down here." At 1:22 Nelson again reports that he is at Elm and Houston, the site of the assassination.
In 1984, Henry Hurt interviewed R.C. Nelson in a parking lot in Corsicana, Texas, where Nelson was then in private business. Nelson told the author that he had waited a long time to tell his story for the public record, but not without payment.
When Hurt asked Nelson: "Did you hear the dispatcher's order telling you to go there?" Nelson replied, "I'm not sure what you mean. I had rather not talk about that." He then told Hurt that he considered that to be part of the story he was willing to negotiate. Hurt never did (HURT answer. He was not willing to pay Nelson. (HURT, pp. 161-62-63)
Sgt. Calvin Owens, J.D.'s supervisor for ten years was no help in explaining the officer's movements. Owens, who was in his car at 12:45, when the order was allegedly given, did not know that Tippit had been moved. He was surprised to learn that J.D. was in District 91 and went there when the officer was shot. At 1:33 Owens contacted the dispatcher and asked him:" Do you know what kind of a call he was on?" The dispatcher answered, "What kind of what?" Owens asked, "Was he on a call or anything?" The dispatcher answered, "NO."
The only reasonable answer to the tape discrepancies is that the tapes were altered to place Tippit in the district where he died without admitting his reason for being there. There is lots more evidence to prove that the tapes were altered, but it would require far too much time and space on this forum to accomplish.
To deny killing anyone is rather normal with most murderers.
