| Description: | 00:00 Henry Wade interview. Reporters ask for opportunity to question LHO. Wade and Captain Fritz discuss feasibility of holding a brief press conference. 01:25 LHO press conference from excellent camera angle. Utter surprise is apparent on Oswald's face as he learns from a reporter that he's been charged with the murder of President Kennedy. 02:56 Marguerite Oswald interview. Recounts her visit with LHO in jail. 05:13 Interview with Mrs. Johnson, LHO's landlady. Gives her impression of him and answers other questions. Good material. 11:55 Extremely interesting interview with Ruth Payne, close friend of Marina Oswald, who boarded at Ruth's home in Ft. Worth. Says she was trying to teach LHO how to drive a car at the time ofhis capture. Although she saw no real sign that LHO might have been mentally unbalanced, she believes he killed JFK "because of the evidence." Reporter tries hard to get Payne to discredit Oswald's character but she simply won't do it. 39:42 Various shots of LHO in custody, shot of his revolver being examined, shot of Mannlicher-Carcano rifle being held in air. 41:18 Marina Oswald with baby and mother-in-law Marguerite. 41:37 Dealey Plaza shots right after the shooting. Crowd of people runs up the grassy knoll toward the picket fence. Shots of police and squad cars moving about. 42:18 Brief shot of JFK and Jackie. Then more footage of LHO shooting. News reporter keeps covering the chaos, then interviews eyewitnesses, including UPI reporter Frank Johnson. 44:33 Cut to broadcaster as he continues his commentary on Oswald shooting. He interviews Jeff Edwards, from an L.A. radio station, and other eyewitnesses. Good material but sound is poor. | |
