Report of the President's Commission on the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
The possibility that accomplices aided Oswald in connection with
his escape was suggested by the testimony of Earlene Roberts, the
housekeeper at the 1026 North Beckley roominghouse.[C6-88] She
testified that at about 1 p.m. on November 22, after Oswald had
returned to the roominghouse, a Dallas police car drove slowly by the
front of the 1026 North Beckley premises and stopped momentarily; she
said she heard its horn several times.[C6-89] Mrs. Roberts stated that
the occupants of the car were not known to her even though she had
worked for some policemen who would occasionally come by.[C6-90] She
said the policeman she knew drove car No. 170 and that this was not the
number on the police car that honked on November 22. She testified that
she first thought the car she saw was No. 106 and then said that it was
No. 107.[C6-91] In an FBI interview she had stated that she looked out
the front window and saw police car No. 207.[C6-92] Investigation has
not produced any evidence that there was a police vehicle in the area
of 1026 North Beckley at about 1 p.m. on November 22.[C6-93] Squad car
207 was at the Texas School Book Depository Building, as was car 106.
Squad cars 170 and 107 were sold in April 1963 and their numbers were
not reassigned until February 1964.[C6-94]
Whatever may be the accuracy of Mrs. Roberts’ recollection concerning
the police car, it is apparent from Mrs. Roberts’ further testimony
that she did not see Oswald enter a car when he hurriedly left the
house. She has stated that when she last saw Oswald, shortly after
1 p.m., he was standing at a bus stop in front of the house.[C6-95]
Oswald was next seen less than 1 mile away, at the point where he shot
Patrolman Tippit. Oswald could have easily reached this point on foot
by about 1:16 p.m., when Tippit was shot. Finally, investigation has
produced no evidence that Oswald had prearranged plans for a means to
leave Dallas after the assassination or that any other person was to
have provided him assistance in hiding or in departing the city.
