It looks like SSID author Josiah Thompson was correct after all. Happy Holidays to All! QUOTE Sunday News, New York, November 24, 1963 Page 21 Motorcade Cop Tells How It Happened Dallas, Nov. 23 (Special) B.W. Hargis, 31, Dallas motorcycle patrolman who was riding in President Kennedy's motorcade, gave this account today of the Assassination: "We turned left onto Elm St. off Houston, about a half block from where it happened. I was right alongside the rear fender on the left side of the President's car, near Mrs. Kennedy." "When I heard the first explosion, I knew it was a shot. I thought that Gov. Connally had been hit when I saw him turn toward the President with a real surprised look." Splattered With Blood "The President then looked like he was bent over or that he was leaning toward the Governor, talking to him." "As the President straightened back up, Mrs. Kennedy turned toward him, and that was when he got hit in the side of his head, spinning it around. I was splattered with blood." "Then I felt something hit me. It could have been concrete or something, but I thought at first I might have been hit." "Then I saw the limousine stop, and I parked my motorcycle at the side of the road, got off and drew my gun." And They Took Off "Then this Secret Service agent (in the President's car) got his wits about him and they took off. The motorcycle officer on the right side of the car was Jim Chaney. He immediately went forward and announced to the chief that the President had been shot."
