The Warren Commission (WC) claimed that Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO) assassinated President John F. Kennedy (JFK) and shot and killed Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippit (JDT) within a forty-five-minute period on November 22, 1963. They further claimed that he had no assistance at all from anyone.
One of the key people at all the major areas on November 22, 1963, was Dallas Police Sergeant Gerald Hill. He was at the Texas School Book Depository (TSBD) Building, the shooting scene of JDT in Oak Cliff and the Texas Theater (TT) when LHO was arrested.
This post will look at, and examine, a telephone interview Hill did on November 22, 1963. His memory was fresh and should be accurate.
**********************************************
The interview was with Bob Whitten, Radio News Director, of station KCRA in Sacramento, California. It lasted about twenty-five minutes. Here is what Hill said initially.
Quote on
Sgt. Gerald Hill: The call that I got was that the President had been shot and that the shot had come from the Texas School Book Depository at Elm and Houston Streets. They sent me down there. I started in with a couple of deputy sheriffs and we were checking the building with -- as well as a bunch of other officers -- but one of these deputies and I were [sic] lucky enough to find the window where the shots had fired from and also the three shells lying on the floor. Uh -- I went back down -- we secured the scene -- to report to the Inspector so he could get the Crime Lab and everything out there, and while I was there talking to him a call came out that an officer had been shot.
...The Acting Lieutenant...ordered us [him and the Inspector]...to leave this investigation of the President's shooting and to go to Oak Cliff. We did. When we got out there the officer had already been picked up. We got a description of the suspect and started following his path as best we could. We had information that he was in one of two houses that were vacant over on East Jefferson. We went in over there and called for some help to cover off some of the buildings and everything. We shook them down and he wasn't there, and then we got a report that he was in the library at (inaudible) and Jefferson. (WC Commission Document (CD) 1210, p. 3)

There is a lot to unpack here. It would have been nice if he had provided some times for these events, or been asked to do this, for all of this, but he wasn't. We will use the official times for these events in place of his times.
My first question is, why were they so sure so soon that the shots came from the TSBD? What would have made them so positive in such a short space of time? The authorities even told witnesses who said they heard more than 3 shots that they heard "echoes" because of the shape of Dealey Plaza (DP). So, if this is true, why were the authorities so adamant that the shots came from the TSBD and only the TSBD so soon after the shooting? Didn't the "echoes" bother them?
Furthermore, they also seemed to be oblivious to the notion that shots fired from the TSBD did NOT exclude shots from being fired elsewhere. Of course, this wasn't possible once the official narrative of one shooter became firm, but in the minutes following the assassination there should have been an open mind to anything.
The shells were found officially at around 1:12 p.m. in the TSBD, but the building had been entered a while before this as Deputy Sheriff Luke Mooney said that he searched the sixth floor and then went to the seventh floor. Only when he came back to the sixth floor did he see the alleged "sniper's nest" (SN) and the shells. Why didn't he see the SN the first time he swept the sixth floor? What happened when everyone that initially came in went to the seventh floor?
[There is evidence that shows the shells were found either right before 1:00 p.m. or at 1:00 p.m. and not the official time of 1:12 p.m. I cover this in the post "The Shadow Knows." Here is the link.]

Officially JDT was shot "around 1:16 p.m." so the window is tight for him to have been there when the shells were found and for him to make his way to street level and be talking with the Inspector [Sawyer] when the word came in about the shooting. He wouldn't have had more than 5 or 6 minutes as Domingo Benavides testified to quickly calling in the shooting to the dispatcher.
Yes, the body of JDT was gone as it was removed in record time (a minute or so) from the crime scene. Keep in mind, the crime scene unit was not there when the body was. It is against all procedures to remove the body BEFORE the crime scene is processed as this alters the evidence (i.e. direction of the shots, where the victim may have been when shot, etc...). Why was JDT's body removed so fast? Furthermore, the Methodist Hospital, where JDT was taken, said that he arrived D.O.A. (dead on arrival) and his time of death was listed as occurring at 1:15 p.m. He was of course dead before this time as he died instantly when he was shot.

Hill mentions getting a description of the shooter, but where did this come from? Helen Markham supposedly gave one, but it did NOT match LHO at all. The official narrative even says the description used was the one for the JFK assassin which was put out at 12:45 p.m. How can you arrest someone for shooting JDT when you based your search on a person (again, this description was a very general one that matched thousands of men and did NOT include a clothing description) who supposedly shot JFK in DP which is miles from Oak Cliff? What would make the police assume it was the same man so fast? Hill says that they were told that he might have been in one of the two vacant houses on East Jefferson, but who was supplying this information?
Hill mentions the Marsalis and Jefferson library. A call did go out calling all units to head there as the suspect was supposedly there. At the time, a man was trapped in the GLOCO gas station parking lot and he had to have been one of shooters most likely. When everyone took off, he calmly slipped away, and we will never know who he was. Once all the units arrived at the library (why was every unit needed in the first place?) they were told that they "didn't have the right man" as it turned out to be a teenager who made the mistake "to run" across the lawn of the building. This "all units" call was used to assist the actual shooter escape most likely as there is no other viable reason for it.
Let's resume with the interview.
Quote on
Bob Whitten: Who were these reports coming from, Gerald?
Sgt. Hill: From people who had heard the description of the man. Then when we got to the library, we found out that was another false alarm. A third call came in that he had been seen entering the Texas Theater. Bob Barnett [sic --Barrett] from the FBI, and I went into the and everybody else (inaudible) outside. We started to check out the patrons in the theater; the movie was still going on, and on the third one that [Officer N.M.] MacDonald started to approach -- he was sitting in the third row from the back in the center section -- just as MacDonald got to him he got up and yelled "This is it." He struck MacDonald in the face and grabbed for a pistol which he had under his shirt. Mac yelled and all seven of us got into a fight and finally got him subdued and handcuffed -- disarmed and then handcuffed. (Ibid., p. 4)

Who were these people who heard the description of the man? And, why did they think it was LHO? These questions have never been answered. Where did the call come from that said the suspect was in the TT? The WC would attribute this to TT employee Julia Postal, but as we have seen before it could NOT have been her.
Mrs. POSTAL. So, it seemed like I hung up the intercom phone when here all of a sudden, police cars, policemen, plainclothesmen, I never saw so many people in my life. And they raced in, and the next thing I knew, they were carrying----well, that is when I first heard Officer Tippit had been shot because some officer came in the box office and used the phone, said, "I think we have got our man on both accounts."
She clearly said that she had had just hung up the phone when the police came rushing in, therefore, she was NOT the person who told them this. So, who was it? We don't know as this was never answered for us. She said another very interesting thing in this testimony. Who was the officer who said, "I think we have got our man on both accounts?" How could this officer know this so fast? Another officer would say, "Kill the President, will you?" when LHO was taken out of TT.
Again, why were these officers assigning blame so fast to a man that they realistically had no way of knowing if he had committed these crimes this fast? Moreover, who was the clairvoyant at Dallas Police Headquarters who knew that LHO would be arrested and that he committed both murders BEFORE he was arrested? If we look at the arrest report, we will see that it was written at 1:40 p.m. and that is ELEVEN minutes before LHO was arrested in TT!
LHO's Arrest Report:
texashistory.unt.edu/iiif/ark:/67531/metapth338412/m1/1/full/full/0/default.jpg
It also says that he shot and killed JFK and JDT, and for good measure, he wounded Texas Governor John B. Connally (JBC) before he was even brought to the police station. The apparent clairvoyant even knew that Officer N.M. McDonald would get credit for the arrest. Some police work, huh?
www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=11605#relPageId=5
So, who told the police the man they were looking for was at the TT? Furthermore, why was Hill using language like they knew for sure LHO was the man they were looking for? How in the world could they know this? Not one witness from the crime scene in Oak Cliff was at the TT, so how could they know for sure that LHO was the man they were looking for? Clearly, they couldn't. All of this shows us that LHO was the man selected ahead of time to be the fall guy as unseen forces were directing the Dallas Police Department (DPD) in his direction. Was it the FBI doing this? Notice how Hill said FBI Agent Bob Barrett went with him while the other local officers waited outside. Remember, the FBI had NO jurisdiction for these crimes so he should have been the last person going into the theater, and yet, he did. Why?
Another big point is that you need probable cause to arrest someone. What was the probable cause for the DPD to arrest LHO? How in the world could they know that he was the man who shot JFK and/or JDT so fast? There was no All-Points Bulletin (APB) issued for LHO and certainly no arrest warrant issued for him so these cannot be used as the reason why. This means that the DPD had to make something up and that is where the claim of LHO hitting Officer McDonald came from. The only people that claimed this action were all law enforcement agents. Not one TT witness said this, and a list of the patrons was never made to know all their names.
Hill also admitted that at least six officers jumped LHO and this is against the law since excessive force can be argued. It also countered their prime witness for the TT, Johnny Brewer, as he testified to hearing LHO say a number of times that he was NOT resisting arrest. How does one not resist while punching and drawing a gun on a police officer at the same time?
If LHO was resisting arrest then he had all the right in the world to do so since the DPD had no legal right to arrest him, especially with such force. The Constitution allows you to defend yourself from an unlawful arrest and you can use force up to death in doing so. An unlawful arrest is no different from any other type of assault according to the law. But LHO did not resist. Nor did he pull a gun as claimed. There is not one piece of evidence outside of law enforcement members saying he had a gun on him. There is also no evidence that shows the DPD retrieved CE 143 (alleged JDT murder weapon) from him or that he ever owned it.
There is NO chain of custody for CE 143. It's relevance depends on the DPD and the DPD alone. Do you trust them?

...The boy that we apprehended for shooting Officer J.D. Tippet (sic) is an employee of the book bindery where the shots that killed the President were fired from. He was seen on the floor below the window where the shots were fired from some fifteen minutes prior to the shooting... He did admit in the interrogation a while ago that he was an active Communist. He has not admitted to the shooting of the President or the Governor or the police officer, but a gun was found on the sixth floor where it had been hidden; that -- I have been told and I can't verify this either way; it was an officer -- it was made in Argentina.
The man, I understand, has resorted to violence and possibly shot another police officer somewhere....I firmly believe that we got the man who killed the President of the United States. (Ibid., p. 5)

The TSBD was NOT a book "bindery" as they did not bound books there. The TSBD was simply a distribution center and a headquarters for a number of businesses. The use of improper terms like this make you wonder what else he messed up. LHO was not seen on the fifth floor just fifteen minutes before the assassination. This is a complete lie. He was last seen near the telephone on the first floor around noon and then according to Carolyn Walther in the second-floor lunchroom around 12:25 p.m. The key point is NO one saw him on the sixth floor at the time of the assassination.
LHO never referred to himself as a Communist, nor was there any evidence showing that he was a member of the Communist party, as he said he was a Marxist. This has to be another lie by Hill. He then said a very key thing. He mentions the rifle being found in the TSBD and he said he was told by a police officer that it was a rifle made in ARGENTINA! The alleged murder weapon -- the 40" Mannlicher-Carcano -- was made in ITALY and NOT Argentina. Guess what was made in Argentina? The 7.65 mm Mauser that the majority of evidence shows was found first! This is further confirmation that a Mauser was found in the TSBD.
He passed on more false information by claiming that LHO was violent and possibly shot another policeman at some point. Both are false. I did a post on the issue of LHO being violent and there is no evidence to support this. Even FBI Agent James Hosty did NOT think LHO was violent. And, there is NOT one shred of evidence that shows LHO shot a police officer or anyone else at any time in his life. Hill says he firmly believes that LHO was guilty of killing JFK on November 22. Talk about a rush to judgment on his part. How could he know this so fast? That is impossible.
Hill then either gives out false information regarding the JDT killing or he tells us that the official narrative is a lie.

Mr. Whitten: What kind of weapon did he use to kill the officer, Gerry?
Sgt. Hill: A .38 snub-nose. It was fired twice and both shots hit the officer in the forehead. (Ibid., p. 6)

Officially JDT was shot FOUR times and only ONE was to his forehead! Why is Hill’s account on November 22 so different from the official conclusion? Was Hill telling us what really happened?
He then made a strange comment in a long answer to what they were going to do with LHO after he got off the telephone. Hill said, “…they want to go out to his house and check and find his car…”. (Ibid.) What car? LHO could NOT drive and did not own a car. At least not the one killed on November 24, 1963.
This is a very interesting interview that shows explicitly there was a frame up going on in regard to LHO. The police were continually directed to him in ways that would not have happened normally. He also gave information that seems to confirm that a Mauser was found in the TSBD. The other big thing is his description of the wounds on JDT’s body.
These discrepancies call into question the conclusion of the WC; thus, their conclusion is not correct based on the evidence and is therefore sunk.

He also gave information that seems to confirm that a Mauser was found in the TSBD. The other big thing is his description of the wounds on JDT’s body.
These discrepancies call into question the conclusion of the WC; thus, their conclusion is not correct based on the evidence and is therefore sunk.
