Statler Hilton Hotel connections

A thread of mine from the Webs' ROKC forum

During an email exchange with Terry some time ago discussing the complicity of Secret Service agents in the assassination, he reminded me about Secret Service agent Harvey Henderson. For those of you who are not familiar with Henderson’s name, he was the racist piece of shit that chastised Abraham Bolden:

Henderson also (apparently) made threats towards JFK:

After doing some digging, I found out that a L. D. Henderson who was an assistant “bell captain” at the Statler Hilton Hotel in Dallas, Texas, was the holder of Carousel Club pass card # 107. Henderson told the FBI that the last time he had contact with Ruby was four or five years prior to 1963 at the Statler Hilton Hotel:

Although I haven’t been able to determine whether Harvey Henderson and L. D. Henderson were related to each other, I don’t believe the last time the latter had contact with Ruby at the Statler Hilton Hotel was four or five years prior to 1963; as Ruby seems to have been a regular visitor to the Hotel. What’s interesting is that someone claiming to be Oswald (apparently) applied for employment at the Hotel as a bellman on or around October 31, 1963:

[url=http://jfk.hood.edu/Collection/FBI Records Files/105-82555/105-82555 Section 057/105-57b.pdf]http://jfk.hood.edu/Collection/FBI%20Records%20Files/105-82555/105-82555%20Section%20057/105-57b.pdf[/url]

I don’t believe this was the real Oswald. As several of us at ROKC have discussed elsewhere, Oswald was most likely placed into the TSBD (to be used as a patsy for the assassination) under the false pretense that he was to keep an eye out on Joe Molina on behalf of James Hosty and the FBI. Therefore, I think it’s very unlikely that he would be applying for a job as a bellman at the Statler Hilton Hotel during the aforementioned time period.

Now either the story of “Oswald” applying for work as a bellman was a complete crock, or someone who resembled him was impersonating him. But who could that someone be? The one person who springs to mind is Larry Crafard. As I discuss in my essay “Who was behind the assassination – Part 2?,” on November 1, 1963, someone impersonating Oswald filled out an application form to rent P.O. Box 6225 in Dallas as part of the plot to paint him as a Communist. I believe this was Crafard. As I discuss in my essay “Did Larry Crafard kill J.D. Tippit?” Crafard was not only demonstrably mistaken for Oswald by several witnesses, but he was also likely impersonating Oswald before the assassination. I also discussed this likelihood in the following thread:

http://www.reopenkennedycase.org/apps/forums/topics/show/13175765-volkmar-schmidt-and-the-houston-plot

I think we should also keep in mind that November 1, 1963 was approximately the day on which Crafard allegedly moved into the Carousel Club:

As I mentioned before, Ruby seems to have been a regular visitor to the Hotel (see the following links):

Although in the above report concerning the FBI interview with Joseph R. Cavagnaro it is said that Cavagnaro was working at the Sheraton Hilton Hotel, this was most likely a mistake. The FBI agent probably meant to write that Cavagnaro was working at the Statler Hilton Hotel. As a matter of fact, apart from the aforementioned interview of Cavagnaro, I can’t find anything online about a “Sheraton Hilton Hotel” in Dallas, Texas. Ruby was apparently having coffee with Cavagnaro at the Statler Hilton Hotel “a few hours” after the assassination:

As many of you probably know, Marina Oswald’s “business manager” after the assassination was James Herbert Martin. Martin had worked at the Statler Hilton Hotel; and was apparently “well-acquainted” with Ruby:

What’s also interesting is that a Rosemary Brewer (whose husband was a man named “Buddy” Brewer) had worked at “Victor’s lounge” on Commerce Street “across” from the Statler Hilton Hotel:

http://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=10052&search=Rosemary_Brewer#relPageId=103&tab=page

The only “Buddy” Brewer I am aware of is Dallas Police motorcycle cop, E. D. “Buddy” Brewer:

According to Mary Ferrell, Brewer had a wife by the name of Patricia:

http://www.maryferrell.org/php/marysdb.php?id=1472&search=Edwin D. Brewer


However, this doesn’t mean Rosemary Brewer wasn’t his wife at one time. As many of you may be aware, Brewer was one of the few people who claimed to see the so-called paper gun sack on the sixth floor of the TSBD; which many others missed seeing:

http://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=35&search=Mr_Brewer+relatively+long+paper+sack#relPageId=317&tab=page

According to the DPD radio transcripts, Brewer reported over the radio at circa 12:38 pm that a witness said he had seen the “weapon” being pulled back from a window on the “second floor” of the TSBD (he probably meant to say the second floor from the top of the TSBD):

Brewer acknowledged to the Warren Commission that he was “three-fourths of a block away” from the TSBD and that he was on the west side of the Triple under pass when he supposedly spoke to the aforementioned witness. I will have more to add to this thread over the coming days. In the meantime, does anyone know who this so-called witness was that Brewer spoke to? I don’t think it was Howard Brennan, because Brennan makes no mention of speaking to a cop near the under pass when he testified before the Warren Commission. As far as I am aware, Brennan only said he spoke to a cop at the corner of the TSBD:

I think Brewer is full of shit.

Just to add to what I wrote above, there was an Oswald sighting at Morgan’s gun shop around November 2, 1963:

https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=11462&search=Dewey_Bradford#relPageId=98&tab=page

Although the owner of the shop claimed that it wasn’t Oswald, he may merely have said this out of fear of being associated with Oswald. My hunch is that it was our friend Crafard who bought the rifle ammunition for a bit of target practice before the assassination, but who knows for sure…

There is one more (potentially significant) connection to the Statler Hilton Hotel which I will be discussing in this essay I am currently working on.
