As many as 40 inmates of the Dallas County jail (caddy-corner from the TSBD) watched two men on the 6th floor of the TSBD as they "fooled around" with a scope on a rifle about 6 minutes before the shooting. Seven other witnesses saw a man wearing a white T-shirt on the 6th floor. Their observation was confirmed by Dallas Morning News photographer Tom Dillard, who snapped a photo of the TSBD that shows a man, wearing a white T-shirt, standing at the west window of the 6th floor.
At the same time Richard Randolph Carr observed a man looking out the top floor of the TSBD only moments before the shooting. A few minutes later, only minutes after the shooting, Carr saw the same man walking towards him on Houston Street. The man walked east on Commerce St., walked one block to Record Street, and got into a light-colored Nash Rambler Station wagon that drove toward Elm St and the TSBD. The young man wearing the white T-shirt who was at the west window of the 6th floor, was most likely the same man who Mrs. Reid saw walking thru the TSBD office wearing a white T-shirt minutes after the shooting (not a dark brown shirt--only a white T-shirt).
ROGER CRAIG saw the light-colored Nash Rambler station wagon, driving slowly on Elm, come to a stop by the grassy knoll area and honk the horn. A young man, wearing a white T-shirt, hurried toward the car, got in, and the station wagon drove underneath the triple overpass and left Dealey Plaza.
ROGER CRAIG SAID: "As I have earlier stated, the time was approximately 12:40 p.m. when I ran into [fellow Deputy Sheriff] Buddy Walthers. The traffic was very heavy as Patrolman Baker (assigned to Elm and Houston Streets) had left his post, allowing the traffic to travel west on Elm Street. As we were scanning the curb, I heard a shrill whistle coming from the north side of Elm Street. I turned and saw a white male in his twenties running down the grassy knoll from the direction of the Texas School Book Depository Building. A light green Rambler station wagon was coming slowly west on Elm Street. The driver of the station wagon was a husky looking Latin, with dark wavy hair, wearing a tan windbreaker type jacket. He was looking up at the man running toward him. He pulled over to the north curb and picked up the man coming down the hill. I tried to cross Elm Street to stop them and find out who they were. The traffic was too heavy, and I was unable to reach them. They drove away going west on Elm Street."
Photographer Jim Murray snapped a photo of the TSBD that shows a young man, wearing a white T-shirt, about to get into the Nash Rambler. In the photo Roger Craig can be seen directly across the street from the Nash Rambler looking at the car. In the background the Hertz sign on top of the TSBD reads "12:40." Mrs. Helen Forrest saw a young man wearing a white T-shirt run from the side of the TSBD and enter the Nash Rambler. She said, "If it wasn't Oswald, it was his identical twin." Another witness, James Pennington, also saw the man in the white T-shirt and later identified him as Lee Harvey Oswald. Marvin Robinson was driving his Cadillac directly behind the Nash Rambler when it suddenly stopped, and Robinson nearly collided with the back of the car. Robinson saw a young man in a white T-shirt hurry down the grassy incline and get into the station wagon. Roy Cooper, who worked for Robinson and was driving his car directly behind Robinson's Cadillac, also saw a young man in a white t-shirt hurry down the grassy incline and enter the station wagon. Roger Craig, numerous witnesses, and Jim Murray's photograph leave no doubt that a young man wearing a white T-shirt identified as "Oswald or his identical twin" left Dealey Plaza in a light-colored Nash Rambler station wagon.
----LHO, dark brown shirt, seen by Truly and Baker in the lunchroom, leaves the TSBD, bus, taxi, rooming house, Texas Theater @ 1:10 pm, arrested.
----LHO, white T-shirt, leaves Dealey Plaza via Nash Rambler, Tippit shooting, balcony of the Texas Theater, rear of Texas Theater, red Ford Falcon.
-----PLEASE remember that two days before the assassination (11/20/63) LHO (white T-shirt) and Tippit were both seen at the Dobbs House Restaurant (10:00 am) while LHO (dark brown shirt) was working at the TSBD. A short time later, Ralph Yates picked up a hitchhiker (near the Dobbs House) carrying a long package wrapped in brown paper that the young man said contained "curtain rods." Yates dropped this man off at the TSBD. On 11/22/63 (circa 8:00 am) LHO (white T-shirt) and Tippit were seen at the Top Ten Record Store (near the Texas Theater) at the same time.
Shortly after the assassination T.F. White, a mechanic at Mack's Automotive Service, noticed a 1961 red Ford Falcon speeding west on Davis St. (6 blocks north of the Texas Theater). A few minutes later White saw the same car as it drove into the El Chico parking lot across the street and stopped behind a large billboard with the engine running.
White was curious and, as he approached the vehicle, observed a white male driver wearing a white T-shirt. When White got to within 10-15 yards of the car the driver turned and looked directly at him and then quickly sped off throwing gravel with his rear tires. White wrote the make, model, and license plate number (PP 4537) of the vehicle in his notebook and watched the car as it sped west on Davis Street.
When interviewed by FBI agent Charles Brown, Mr. White said the man driving the car was identical with LHO. Authorities soon determined the license plates were registered to a two-tone blue 1957 Plymouth (not to the red Ford Falcon) that belonged to Carl Mather, J.D. Tippit's best friend and an employee of Collins Radio.
At About 2:00 pm, Mrs. Carl (Barbara) Mather received a phone call from Marie Tippit, who informed her of the death of her husband. Barbara telephoned her husband and, together with their children, drove to the Tippit's home in south Oak Cliff.
The HSCA interviewed Mather in 1978, but only after he insisted, and received, a grant of immunity. To this day Mather's testimony remains classified and unavailable to the public.
As many researchers know, Collins Radio (Richardson, TX) had close ties to the CIA. And, as many researchers know, another employee of Collins Radio (Ken Porter) quit his job shortly after the assassination, divorced his wife, took up with Marina Oswald, and married her on June 1, 1965, in Fate, Texas.
