1:11:00
He puts on his jacket,
grabs his.38 revolver...

1:11:03
...and leaves at 1:04.
1:11:05
Earlene Roberts, the housekeeper,
heard two beeps on a car horn.

1:11:10
Two uniformed cops pulled up
while Oswald was in his room.

1:11:12
Like it was a signal.
1:11:15
Officer Tippet is shot between 1:10
and 1:15, a mile away.

1:11:19
And though no one saw him walking...
1:11:22
...the government says
Oswald covered that distance.

1:11:24
Giving the government the benefit
of the doubt...

1:11:27
...Oswald would've had to jog a mile
in six to eleven minutes...

1:11:30
...then commit the murder,
reverse his direction...

1:11:32
...and walk 3/5ths of a mile
to the Texas Theater...

1:11:36
...and arrive sometime before 1:30.
1:11:44
Is also a useful conclusion.
1:11:45
After all, why would Oswald
kill Officer Tippet...

1:11:48
...unless he just shot the President
and feared arrest?

1:11:51
Domingo Benevides...
1:11:55
...the closest witness to the shooting...
1:11:57
...refused to identify Oswald as the killer
and was never taken to a lineup.

1:12:02
Acquilla Clemons...
1:12:03
...saw the killer and another man
go off in separate directions.

1:12:06
Mrs. Clemons was never taken to a lineup
or to the Warren Commission.

1:12:11
At the scene, Officer Poe marks
his initials on the shells...

1:12:14
...to record the chain of evidence.
1:12:17
Those initials are not
on the three cartridge cases...

1:12:20
...which the Warren Commission show him.
1:12:23
As early as 12:44, only 14 minutes
after the assassination...

1:12:27
...the police put out a description
matching Oswald's size and build.

1:12:32
Oswald is next seen by a shoe salesman,
Johnny Brewer, on Jefferson Avenue.

1:12:37
Oswald is scared. He begins to realize
the full implications of this thing.

1:12:42
He goes to the Texas Theater,
possibly a prearranged meeting point.

1:12:45
Though he has $14 in his pocket,
he doesn't buy the 75-cent ticket.

1:12:50
Brewer has the cashier call the police.
1:12:53
In response to that call...
1:12:55
...at least 30 officers in patrol cars descend
on the movie theater.
