His stomach. Police are working on the assumption that oswalds murder was to shut him up. Killed john kennedy. A story that has been suppressed. Witnesses have been killed. We have a right to know who killed our president and why he died. In dallas, preparations were already under way for Extraordinary Police protection when the president should arrive. Do you anticipate any trouble on the president s arrival . Because of what has happened here previously we would be foolish, i think, not to anticipate some trouble. I dont really really i dont anticipate any violence. Here comes air force number one, the president s plane now touching down. There is mrs. Kennedy, and the crowd yells. And the president of the United States. And i can see his sun tan all the way from here. Looking at how things actually went it was not just a trip to dallas, it was a political trip preparing for the 1964 elections. Shaking hands now with the dallas people, governor and mrs. Connelly, the governor on the left. It was using his influence to get all the fighting democrats in texas to come together before the election the next year. And here comes the president now. In fact he is not in his limo, he is reaching across the fence shaking hands. In those days everybody could get a lot closer to the president. I was standing behind mrs. Kennedy and saw a hand reach through the chain link fence and break off one of the roses. Thousands trying to get through the fence, the Dallas Police trying to keep them back. This is great for the people and makes the egg shells even thinner for the secret service, whose job it was to guard the man. It was pretty hard to write a script in texas for going any better. Thousands will be on hand for the motorcade, which will be in downtown dallas. A number of my classmates were there, my father had been invited to have lunch with kennedy at the trade center. Is there was a mood, a climate of excitement. The speech of president kennedy at the dallas trade market will be broadcast by radio. Stay tuned for the dallas speech at the trade mart. Yeah, big boss man well you aint you just taller than us all this bulletin just into the news. Three shots were fired at the motorcade of president kennedy. Three radios are carrying that the president has been hit. Parkland hospital has been advised to stand by for a severe gunshot wound. This is walter cronkite, in the news room. There has been an attempt on the life of president kennedy. Just turn the mike on. I cant hear you, johnny you want me to move back a little bit . Is it all right now . Is this all right . Ladies and gentlemen, i would like to introduce yto you the chief cameraman. Bert, we have brought the people pretty much up to date. Would you tell us what you know. Well, i was standing at the trade mart, waiting for his arrival there. All of a sudden we saw them approaching, they didnt slow down, as a matter of fact, they were going 70 or 80 miles past us. And then i jumped into the car. They were heading to park land. They were hollering for a stret stretcher. What happened . Then the president came in behind him and they took both of them. Albert thomas, democrat of texas is standing outside the corridor of the emergency room said he has been told the president was still alive but in very critical condition. The president has not arrived here. A group of secret service men and other officials has gathered where the president normally would enter and discussing heatedly with one another some subject or other, of course we have no idea what. Now, here is an announcement from the platform. Mr. Eric johnson with an announcement. It is true our president in the motorcade, has been shot. We shall tell you as much as we know as soon as we know anything. Thank you. Replace your laptop . Start with the best writing experience. Make it incredibly thin.

Whoa, im not the only one. Its a brilliant new way to take care of his teeth. Clinically proven as effective as brushing. Ok, here you go. Have you ever seen a dog brush his own teeth . The twist and nub design cleans all the way down to the gum line, even reaching the back teeth. They taste like a treat, but they clean like a toothbrush. Nothing says you care like a milkbone brushing chew. [ barks ] nothing says you care like a milkbone brushing chew. Predibut, manufacturings a prettin the United States do. Means advanced technology. We learned that Technology Allows us to be craft oriented. No ones losing their job. Theres no beer robot that has suddenly chased them out. The technology is actually creating new jobs. Siemens designed and built the right tools and resources to get the job done. A gentleman just walked in our studio that i am meeting for the first time, as well as you. May i have your name, sir . My name is mr. Zaputa. Zaputa . Yes, sir. Will you tell us your story. I got up about a half hour earlier, in order to shoot some pictures. We were there on palmer street. And i asked joe to wave to him. And i waved that is all right, sir. As he was waving back he was the shot rang out and he slumped down in his feet. And then this next one popped and governor connelly grabbed his stomach and kind of laid over to his side. And president kennedy reached up and grabbed his ear and blood just started gushing out. Did you see the person who fired it . No, i didnt see the person who fired the weapon. You only heard it . I only heard it and i looked up and saw this man running up this hill. If it was a conspiracy, not only the governor was hit, the president , johnsons car pulls into the emergency bay at Parkland Hospital. Four agents reach in and grab johnson and pull him out and start to run him down one corridor. Looking for a safe place. Mr. Johnson, his whereabouts are being kept secret for security reasons. If anyone knows where mr. Johnson is, it is not us at this moment. It was a signal moment in our history. Suddenly it occurred to us the right thing to do is turn on the television. There we continue this progra confused and fragmentary fashion. It was odd because there were no commercials. It was just a continuous experience. Two priests have entered the emergency room at Parkland Hospital where he rests after the assassination attempt which now was about a half hour ago. What are your feelings right now, maam . Im absolutely shocked. We have the same birthday. I am just crazy about him. Who would want to shoot the president . What did he do . I mean, he has been doing so much for the country. Who would want to kill him . Two priests who are with kennedy say he is dead of bullet wounds. This is the latest information we have some dallas. I will repeat with the greatest regret two priests who were with president kennedy say he has died of bullet wounds. The assistant press secretary was filling in for the regular press secretary. And then he had to draw himself up to give the most fateful announcement that a press secretary might have ever had to give. All the cameras were rolling and i remember he put his fingers on the desk to stop his hands from trembling. John f. Kennedy died at 1 00 Central Standard time. Today here in dallas he died of a gunshot wound to the brain. I have no other details regarding the assassination of the president. The people standing here are stunned just as all of us are beyond belief. That the president of the United States is dead. All over the world people are going to remember all their lives what they were doing when they first heard that president kennedy had been killed. The crowds are standing around in silence and sorrow in the rain. The strange thing is you dont even notice it is raining. And if you do notice you dont care. I just cant believe it. I feel like someone in my own family has died. I just cant believe it. Maam . I cant like a daze, you dont know what is going on. Why . Why did it happen . Who would have done such a thing. In the first minutes and hours, chaos and confusion was radiating up from the scene itself. It was very pervasive. The secret Service Agents thought the gunfire came from an automatic weapon, coming possibly from a grassy knoll. I thought they were chasing a gunman and i ran with them. The report is that the attempt attempted assassin, we now hear it was a man. They looked up just as the shot was filed and saw a rifle being drawn from a fifth or sixth floor window. It was originally thought that the shots came from here, and now it is believed the shots came from here. They are going to continue searching in that building for the wouldbe assassin of the president. In the federal downtown building, they are combing the area in an effort to find the suspected assassin. In the building we found a window that had been partially blocked off by boxes of books. And also the three spent shells that apparently had been fired from a rifle. Crime lab lieutenant day came out of the building with a british. 303 rifle. A highpowered army or japanese rifle. A. 3030 rifle. In dallas, just a short while ago, a Police Officer was shot. The officer was shot three times in the chest in the oak cliff section of dallas. Then the manager of a shoe store saw the suspect walk into the texas theater. Someone has been arrested in a downtown theater. They dont know if it was the person who actually shot president kennedy. They dragged him out of the theater, hustled. As the crowd started to break they grabbed this man and tried to run with him. The officers hustled him into the car and ran away just as fast as they could. As we mentioned a short while ago a number of arrests have been made in dallas in the wake of president kennedys death. Weve seen one of those arrests in the downtown area. This is just after a Dallas Policeman was shot in the vicinity of a downtown movie house. Paul bentley. He approached him, and as he approached him the man hit him in the face, reaching for a pistol. And as he reached for his pistol i grabbed him along with two or three other officers. What did he say after he was arrested . He just said this is it. It is all over with now. [ girl ] my dad, he makes underwater fans that are powered by the moon. He can print amazing things, right from his computer. [ whirring ] [ train whistle blows ] he makes trains that are friends with trees. [ train whistle blows ] my dad works at ge. And thats epic, bro, weve forgotten just how good good is. Good is setting a personal best before going for a world record. Good is swinging to get on base before swinging for a home run. [ crowd cheering ] good is choosing not to overshoot the moon, but to land right on it and do some experiments. So start your day off good with a coffee thats good cup after cup. Maxwell house. Good to the last drop this is a picture of him. Probably does not look exactly like this now. After he has been questioned. That is lee oswald. The president was shot. And a Police Officer is shot. And someone named Lee Harvey Oswald is arrested. Oswald may be a suspect in the assassination. Who is he . Lee oswald of dallas, a former marine who spent some time in russia who at one time had applied for soviet citizenship. The description that we had of the suspect in oak cliff was similar to the description we had and the man we had and the man we were looking for as the assassin. But at that time we were not able to connect it to him in any way. Down in the third floor corridor, a crowd of cameramen reporters wait for the possibility to see the man accused of killing the president and a Dallas Police officer. Now, apparently a great deal of confusion. Mr. Oswald has come through the door. I dont know if you saw him, oswald lives at 1026 meckley. He is an employee of the book buying firm in the building. Which the secret the secret servicemen believe the president was shot there today. Mrs. Kennedy, from the ambulance to the hospital. Everybody in the emergency room, the hospital was on the first floor they came and said we would have to remove the remains to a casket. Lyndon johnson ordered that we immediately bring it to air force one. So there is a tug of war. They almost shot the crucifix off as they were trying to get the coffin into the hospital. One of the secret service men, well, about two or three of them got into the hearse and just drove off and left the rest of them just standing there. Vice president johnson is expected to be sworn in as president on board of airliner before flying back to the nations capital. Not everyone realized that johnson was already the president , because he in fact had taken the oath in january 61, the same oath the president takes. Johnson wanted to show the American People that the government was functioning without interruption. And also perhaps he wanted to show that his predecessors family bore him no ill will for the assassination. Lyndon johnson is flying back to washington to take the reins of government, at which time president johnson will have to take into his hands the reins of the most powerful nation in the world. We see november 22nd, 1963 as a date the president was killed. But it was also a date when the president was created. Is there any doubt in your mind, chief, that this is the man who killed the president . I think this is the man who killed the president. Is there any evidence that anybody else was linked to the shooting of the president . At this time we dont believe so. I dont know what this is all about. Sir . I work in that building. Were you in the building at that time. Were you in the building at that time . Naturally if i work in the building, yes, sir. The fact what time did you leave . Im just a patsy. This is room 317, Homicide Bureau here at the Dallas Police station. As you see they are bringing the weapon, that was allegedly used in the assassination of president john f. Kennedy this afternoon at 12 30 here in dallas. Apparently made an enemy in 1940. Police had placed the rifle purchased in chicago by mail order to oswald. Handwriting experts have established that the handwriting on the purchase order was in fact made by oswald. At the price of 12. 78. The life of the president of the United States apparently was bought. In the wake of the kid assassination, the Dallas Police, on the one hand they were committing all their resources to trying to solve the crime. On the other hand, they were ill equipped to handle this tsunami of reporters. Well, i was questioned by the judge, however, i protested at that time that i was not allowed legal representation. In bringing oswald out they were of course doing something that you would never see happen today. But they were trying to cooperate with the press with the understanding that there would not be questions shouted at him. Did you kill the president . No, i have not been charged with that in fact nobody has said that to me yet. The first thing i heard about it when the newspaper reporters in the hall asked me that question. You have been sir . You have been charged. Oswald a policeman hit me. At 1 35 this morning a complaint was read and charged that quote, Lee Harvey Oswald did voluntarily and with malice a aforethought, did kill the president. Oswald said, that is ridiculous. Within hours, the assassination, it was very obvious to virtually everyone in dallas Law Enforcement that oswald had killed kennedy. Chief, can you tell us in summary what directly links oswald to the killing of the president. Well, the fact that he was on the floor where the shots were fired and the fact that he was seen carrying a package to the building. When did he carry the package in. Yesterday morning. Oswald was the only employee at the book depository, he pulls his gun on the arresting officer. During 12 hours of interrogation by the Dallas Police department over the weekend he told one provable lie after another. Did you buy that rifle . Just as past as you people have been given. More than a day or so there after when they discovered what the complete nut this guy was they were satisfied beyond all reasonable doubt that oswald had acted alone. There is only one thing that i can tell you without going into the evidence that this case is cinched, that this man killed the president. No doubt about it. We plan to transfer this man, he will be here by no later than 10 a. M. Sir, do you have a concern for the safety of your people in view of the assassination of the president . No, precautions will be taken, of course. But no, i dont think that the people will try to take the prisoner away from us. I spent my entire childhood seeing the world in reverse, and i loved every minute of it. But then you grow up and theres no going back. But its okay, its just a new kind of adventure. And really, who wants to look backwards when you can look forward . I got more advice than i knew what to do with. What i needed was information i could trust on how to take care of me and my baby. Luckily, unitedhealthcare has a Simple Program that helps moms stay on track with their doctors and get the right care and guidancebefore and after the baby is born. Simple is good right now. anncr vo innovations that work for you. Thats health in numbers. Unitedhealthcare. Meningiti lee oswald is to be taken soon to the county jail. To is true. And you are going to take him there how, sir . We are going to use an armored Motor Vehicle to take him. Dallas police meant to transfer lee into the regular prison during the night to avoid the press. And then someone must have overruled them so that lee could be photographed by the press during the transfer. Were standing by waiting for the transfer of oswald from city jail to county jail. And for that report, here is abcs big lord. Bill, what is the situation . Well, im presently in the basement of the building, the officials are frankly worried. They dont want anything to happen to oswald. There is news room, and photographers and policemen, that lee oswald will be brought to the vehicle for a transfer to the Dallas County jail. A distance of about 15 blocks, which ironically was just across from the scene where president kennedy was assassinated friday.
