The Most Im****tant Witness in Dealey:
Patrolman Leonard L. Hill
What? Never heard of him? Perhaps because every chapter & verse of
his amazing story was re-written by those concerned, for reasons which
will become clear:
***crack DPD transcriber GD Henslee attributed Hill's 12:37 call [re
shots from the "second window from the end"] to fellow officer Clyde
Haygood. (Henslee would have you believe Commission apologists like
Vincent Bugliosi rather than your own ears, but clearly the caller
says "22", Hill's assigned number, not "142", Haygood's, & the good
ol' Warren Re****ters in fact did believe their own collective ears &
correctly attributed the call to Hill)
***Haygood then, like Henslee, caved in, & told the hapless Commission
that he sent the transmission (Haygood's acquiesence signals that
Henslee's misattribution was not a simple error)
***the next-best-thing-to-deaf Henslee then heard the word "witness"
in Officer ED Brewer's 12:38 transmission--rather than the actual,
somewhat dissimilar word "man" (which in police-radio parlance means
"officer")--re a rifle pulled from the second floor (witness Tague
provides the explanation for this floor-for-window mix-up in his own
testimony when he speaks of a police officer--the "man"--who told
motorcycle officers [such as Brewer], returning to Dealey, of shooting
from the second *window*--Brewer garbled the information)
***the remarkably consistent Henslee next attributed follow-up 12:38
transmissions of Hill's to Brewer & changed the words "these
witnesses" to "the witness" to make it sound as if it was indeed
Brewer & his witness here, rather than Hill & his (multiple) witnesses
***rather courageously, Tague talks to the Commission re the all-but-
phased-out-now Hill, but, in later years (see his book, for instance),
backtracks & gives Hill's words & actions to Deputy Sheriff Buddy
Walther
***the discovery of the depository hulls is falsely attributed to
Deputy Sheriff Luke Mooney; news photog Tom Alyea has stated that it
was a "uniformed policeman" who led the first search of the
depository... right to the fifth floor. Obviously, this was Hill,
who, as Alyea notes, found all three hulls under... the second window
from the end
Astoni****ngly, then, the officer who saw a rifle being pulled back
thru the second window proceeded to call it in, then was sent by his
dispatcher to the depository & found empty hulls right where he saw
that rifle. Patrolman Hill had to be written out--no part of his
story could be allowed to survive, or the whole of it would have come
out. It took several police officers & sheriff's deputies to complete
the rewriting. Hill is certainly the most im****tant witness in
Dealey, at least the most im****tant that you've never heard of....
