Post by Anthony MarshThanks for the info. So Murchison was so incapacitated that it was
impossible for him to attend any parties? Is that the gist of the denial?- Hide quoted text -
I didn't say that quite, Anthony, though I enjoy the leading question.
Are you an attorney? :)
I said that Murchison couldn't have been as Brown portrayed him.
No doubt he did occasionally entertain, as Eula Tilley says he had a
neighbor over for lunch on 11/22/63, but he wasn't the major figure in
Dallas social circles that Brown pretends and hadn't been for several
years. Note that we're talking (as she clearly was) about Clint, Sr.,
who was the one who was friends with Hoover, etc.
But the gist of the "denial" is (a) Nixon wasn't there, (b) Johnson
wasn't there, (c) Hoover wasn't there so far as checking has indicated
so far, (d) Clint Sr. didn't live near Dallas anymore, though MB
claimed it was at his house there, (e) Clint Sr. wasn't as she claimed
he was, (f) the one servant who actually worked at Clint Sr's home at
the time that we've heard from flatly denies they had a party the
night before the sad day ...
Then there are all the other lies Dave Perry discovered (see his site
at link in previous post) about other events MB claimed to have
attended at this time and other matters, her having been convicted of
forging a will, etc. (see Perry's discussion of this issue regarding
her being found technically innocent on appeal since she forged it but
got a lawyer to file it), ... One could say that Perry is just a WC
LNer making stuff up, but he isn't, he's a CTer and I've long been
impressed by his honesty, willingness to admit his mistakes, etc. I'm
sure many of you folks know him; I don't have the pleasure but he
isn't a kneejerk guy on either side and he does serious investigative
work and documents what he says.
Plus, she never told her story until almost 20 years later and then it
grew and grew and grew (kinda like Files, Judyth, etc.); this is
rarely a good sign.
One wonders if Tito, Hubert Humphrey, and Fatty Arbuckle could have
been squeezed in if she'd lived longer. ;-)
Hunt was prominent enough that someone with access to the papers down
there might well be able to find out that he wasn't there that night,
but how many of the crucial aspects of the story have to be decisively
shown to be false before people drop this one? For that matter, one
might be able to find out whether she really parked next to Hunt many
times (as she claimed) so that they chatted. It seems less than
certain that the billionaire parked in a regular lot (did he not have
a chauffeur or at least his own reserved space?), but at a certain
point one loses interest in pinning down all the lies.
Best wishes,
