  • JFK, Chauncey Holt and the Three 'Tramps'
    JFK, Chauncey Holt and the three ‘tramps’ redux Robin Ramsay The identity of the three ‘tramps’, photographed under police escort in Dallas after the assassination of JFK, is one of the many puzzles in the case. Over the years people have put forward various candidates. For example, the ‘old tramp’ looks rather like the CIA officer Howard Hunt. But only one person ever claimed to have been one of ‘tramps’: the late Chauncey Holt. I got interested in this because it seemed to me, just from reading the material on the Net, that the late Mr Holt is important. Since then I have read his memoir, which contains a number of striking claims, almost none of which can be checked easily and many of which are simply uncheckable because the people concerned are dead. (I discuss his book at the end of this piece.) The one claim he made that seems checkable – perhaps the reason he initially focused on it – is that he was one of the three ‘tramps’. And I did not do enough work, and did not do the subject justice in my first attempt at it.1 So I am back at the ‘tramps’. Looking back at the Holt event, he created some initial interest,2 but that faded. As far as I can tell, he failed to convince a group of JFK researchers when he met them at one of the annual conferences;3 and researchers by then had dealt with other ‘confessions’ which had turned out to be bogus. Then the Dallas police arrest records of three ‘tramps’ 1 The first attempt is at <http://www.lobster-magazine.co.uk/free/ lobster69/lob69-chauncey-holt.pdf>.

    367 Good morning. Would you please stand and raise your right hand and be sworn.

You may be seated. The Chair recognizes counsel Robert Genzman. Mr. GENZMAN. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. TESTIMONY OF DR. CLYDE COLLINS SNOW, CHIEF OF PHYSI- CAL ANTHROPOLOGY RESEARCH, CIVIL AEROMEDICAL IN- STITUTE, FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION AERONAUTI- CAL CENTER, OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA. Mr. GENZMAN. Dr. Snow, would you state your full name and occupation for the record. Dr. SNOW. Clyde Collins Snow. I am a physical anthropologist. Mr. GENZMAN. Would you briefly state the purpose of your testi- fying today. Dr. SNOW. Yes. I am here as a spokesman for the anthropological consultants to the committee to address certain identification issues posed by photographs of various figures involved in the Kennedy assassination. Mr. GENZMAN. Dr. Snow, would you define forensic anthropology. Dr. SNOW. Forensic anthropology is a subdiscipline of physical anthropology, in which we attempt to apply the physical anthro- pologist's knowledge of human biological variation, age variation, sex variation, stature, physique, to problems of legal medicine. Mr. GENZMAN. How many forensic anthropologists are there in the United States? Dr. SNOW. Approximately 30. Mr. GENZMAN. Are each of the panel members forensic anthro- pologists? Dr. SNOW. Yes, sir; they are. Mr. GENZMAN. Could you estimate the combined years of experi- ence of all three panel members? Dr. SNOW. I would say fairly close to somewhere between 40 and 50 years.

    Robert. J. Groden 212 Emily Lane Boothwyn, PA 1 9061 (215) 485-3020 FAX:(215) 494-8002 Letters to the Editor The Washington Post 1150 15th Street NW Washington, DC 20071 May 29, 1991 RE: "Dallas In Wonderland" May 19, 1991 Dear Sir: As a leading researcher into the murder of President Kennedy, I consider it my duty to express my anger with George Lardner's "commentary", "Dallas In Wonderland", 5/19/91. It is a sad step backward in the all too slow quest to uncover the truth in the murder of President Kennedy. Mr. Lardner is hardly unbiased in his view of the case. In 1978 while a commentator for PBS during the hearings before the House Select Committee on Assassinations, he ridiculed any statements or evidence pointing toward the conspiracy. The Washington Post, through Mr. Lardner, totally disregards the final report of the House Assassinations Committee which found that, to a 95% certainty, the assassination of President Kennedy was indeed the result of a conspiracy. By going back to the completely disproven Warren Report is to act like an ostrich burying it's head in the sand. In my 1989 book, High Treasoil, I presented 500 pages of evidence dealing with the assassination conspiracy and the subsequent cover-up. Although High Treason reached #2 on the New York Times Non-fiction best seller list and was #1 regionally, the Washington Fos••, has always c!eclincd tc, rsvii-A4 it.

  • HSCA Volume VI: IV. Conspiracy Questions
    228 (536) 1. Two small areas of thermal damage resulting from a light source that was once held too close to the "anteroposterior" image. These were reported to be present on an observation report dated No- vember 1, 1966, and validated by signature November 10, 1966. This report is in the National Archives. (537) 2. In addition, the panel observed minor "staining" or dis- coloration of the images due to incomplete processing of the film in the developing process. This discoloration will continue to be more prominent with the passage of time. (199) (538) Finally, the linear opacities associated with the postmortem X-rays have been said to be the result of manipulation . These opaci- ties are normal grid lines from the grid used to eliminate "scatter fogging" of the images at. the time' of exposure of the films, and, therefore, represent normal images rather than evidence of manipula- tion. 3. FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOGICAL ISSUES (a) Introductory statement of approach, (539) In the course of its investigation of the death of President Kennedy, the committee encountered several problems concerning the photographic identification of certain individuals either known or alleged to have been involved in the assassination. Upon the advice of other scientific consultants, it was determined that some of these prob- lems fall within the purview of forensic anthropology, a relatively new discipline of the forensic sciences. (540) Forensic anthropology is defined as the application of the physical anthropologist's knowledge of human variation to problems of legal medicine. As implied in this definition, forensic anthropolo- gists, of whom there are fewer than 30 in the United States, are physical anthropologists who, by training and experience, are qualified experts in the medicolegal aspects of their science.

  • Chapter 1 the Problem of Secrecy
    Chapter 1 The Problem of Secrecy A. The Problem of Secrecy Where government activities have stayed shrouded in secrecy, sometimes for many years, that secrecy at times has contributed to widespread public speculation of government wrongdoing. Sometimes this has resulted in the eventual declassification of records, but often the perception that the Government is using classification to hide its misdeeds has already taken root and is difficult to dispel.i Efforts by the public to gain access to records deriving from Federal investigations and examinations of the assassination. have been frustrated by complications. The FOIA B. Prior Investigative Efforts In the thirty years after President Kennedy was killed in Dealey Plaza, the U.S. government has conducted various investigations of the incident. Nearly all of the official investigative bodies offered their conclusions in final reports, but none released the investigative records on which the investigators based their conclusions. Oliver Stone suggested at the end of JFK that Americans could not trust official public conclusions when those conclusions had been made in secret. Stone convinced his audience and, ultimately, Congress, to pass legislation -- the JFK Act -- that would work to release the secret records that prior investigations gathered and created. Prior investigative bodies gathered and created a very large volume of records. In an effort to outline the Review Board’s task, this section provides a brief overview of each investigation as well as a sense of the volume of records each investigation created. 1. President’s Commission to Investigate the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy (“Warren Commission”) On November 29, 1963, one week after President John F.

    Robert J. Groden and Harold Weisberg give an audio-visual presenta- tion on the JFK assassination concerning "Who Killed JFK?" BUT WHO REALLY ARE ROBERT J.

The (National)Committee to Investigate(Political)Assassinations. 4. The "'Who Killed JFK7" groups. These "assassination-researchers", the other Warren Commission "critics" and all the above mentioned groups pose the question "Who Killed JFK7" but yet avoid and moreover actively suppress the answer to this question. These groups are known to be government sponsored counterinsurgency(phony) "research-action" groups formed to accommodate the American people's ever increasing doubt in the Warren Commission findings. These groups obtain much of their "information and "evidence" from people like Groden, Sprague, Mark Lane, Harold Weisberg, and other government personnel. The "assassination research" field was co-opted early. WHAT INFORMATION ARE THESE "CRITICS" AND GROUPS SUPPRESSING7777 Two years ago the Yipster Times printed a story based on a series of photographs(originally taken by 3 Dallas-Fort Worth newspapermen) of three "tramps" picked up in Dealey Plaza If hrs. after the assassination and comparison photographs made by the Associated Press of trained CIA assassins and Watergate "burglars" E. Howard Hunt and Frank Sturgis. In January 1975 Dick Gregory helped these same photographs gain exposure in the "legitimate" media. More recently photographic overlays used rou- tinely to help obtain convictions in court in cases of bank robbery etc. have positively identified the "tramps" as Howard Hunt and Prank Sturgis.
