Charles Givens Arrests Empty Charles Givens Arrests

Mon 11 Dec 2017, 6:29 am
Here are the records for Charles Givens, per request.  He never went to the pen but spent 13 months in the county jail.  Interestingly, they called it a "tax act" violation then.  I could find nothing on Eddie Piper.  I've included Givens death certificate simply because I have it and thought it might be of interest.

Charles Givens Arrests Empty Re: Charles Givens Arrests

Mon 11 Dec 2017, 8:55 am
Great work! 

No gambling record on Piper actually helps as much as if there had been.

To clarify for you, a story ran that a black porter had witnessed "Oswald" shooting Kennedy and had ran from the building in terror and gone straight to the Special Services Bureau of the DPD because he knew them from a previous arrest for shooting craps. He was allegedly held in "protective custody" and was scared witless. 

The story was told to reporter Thayer Waldo by Secret Service agent Mike Howard when they escorted Marguerite to the airport to on the way to give her testimony.

A separate story was published claiming that a TSBD janitor had escorted Oswald to the 6th floor and then gone back down to watch the motorcade from the 1st floor.  That could only be a reference to Piper since he was the only janitor and he did watch from a first floor window (or claimed to). 

But he is now ruled out as Thayer's man because of the lack of a record.

So why is this good?

It reinforces that either the story was total bunk as the WC claimed https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=1141&relPageId=755&search="mike_howard"%20and%20nigger

or that all the real action was happening over at the Del-Tex (which formerly housed the TSBD) where a lift operator did run from the building to report Jim Braden...
http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ/testimony/braden.htm

Larry Florer's arrest. Note that the commentator says Florer had been in the TSBD. For years, this has caused confusion for me and others - until I learned that Book Depository had once been located there. Makes sense that some would not realize it had moved across the street.



Now if we only knew that elevator operator's name so we could check his criminal record!

Man, you guys are good!  I can only conjecture that Piper's DWI didn't show up because the charge was so old and he (apparently) had no other serious offenses.  Great job by Bart digging up that article.  I searched Piper on Newspapers.com and came up with nothing as well.  The DPS records tend to forget records of those who avoid serious trouble.  I have a close friend who got a DWI in the 1980s and was never in any trouble again.  I have searched his name on the site and it returns nothing.  Lucky guy!

I'll do some digging on Florer and see what I can find.  Fascinating stuff!

Greg,

Very interesting post.  What if the "nigger" in question was actually Givens?  I can completely  understand Mr. Givens fear of the police in 1963 Dallas considering the fact that he was a black man with a record.  The cops could have easily deemed Givens as a simple "janitor" simply based on his race.  Also, his testimony does seem to be somewhat suspect.  I am of the belief that Givens wasn't a bad guy at all, but merely suspect of the police who undoubtedly treated minorities with a rough hand at that time.  Also, and I may be wrong, but wasn't Givens a missing person from the TSBD at the time of the alleged roll call?  I'm pretty sure they put out a bulletin on the guy as soon as he failed to return to work (he claims the cops wouldn't let him back in the building which is probably true).  A charge for a simple craps game most likely resulted in a simple fine, like a traffic ticket and, therefore, would not show up on his record.

I want to say up front that I have absolutely no evidence for what I'm about to suggest. It's pure speculation; but wouldn't it be ironic, if Jack Ruby was Givens' supplier.

Candy Barr was a stripper in one of Jack Ruby's clubs.
Candy Barr was busted for marijuana.
Jack Ruby used to visit Candy a lot, even when she moved out of Dallas.
When she was busted, she was holding for a friend of hers named Helen Kay Smith.

A stripper named Pixie Lynn said she was at a party when Ruby and Oswald were together. She said that a woman named Helen Kay Smith could corroborate her story.
Helen Smith denied it.
Charles Givens is the only person who could place Oswald on the sixth floor of the TSBD at the time of the assassination.

Like I said, it's just idle speculation.

Steve, there is a lot worse speculation going around. The one part I would disagree with is the part about Oswald and Ruby at parties together. I believe that was Crafard. I know there are those who claim it was impossible to mistake Crafard for Oswald but they were of similar age, height and weight, and there was one specific sighting of "Oswald" with Ruby that was most definitely Crafard. That was at a store buying a new speaker for club. Crafard confirmed it was him. The missing front teeth is a whole other issue. A removable bridge would explain it.

Now then to put these arrests in a 60's perspective as a DUI from 12 years before or a weed charge from around the same time means bugger all over here in the UK now, but then over there at that time........total different ball game.
By how much you wonder?

Exactly!  Today, at least here in the States (and I am sure in Australia, Europe and the UK), I imagine most people caught with small amounts of pot aren't even charged with an offense considering how innocuous weed has become.  We have several states where it is even legal.  However, considering the propaganda of such exploitation films from the 30s to the 50s like Reefer Madness and Assassin of Youth, and the prevailing view that pot was a dangerous narcotic that led to axe murders, persons like Barr, Armstrong and Givens received jail terms that would be madness today.  Conversely, the destructive results of driving under the influence of alcohol are much more serious crimes today than at that time.  I remember my last visit to the UK: we walked to the pubs because the cops over there were marking tires with ultraviolet ink to indicate who was driving after leaving and the consequences of getting caught were severe. 

While we are on the subject of crime and, not to hijack the thread, here is the arrest record of Bruce Carlin.  I failed to put this in my previous post about him.  Explanations follow:

To break this down, Carlin was arrested for a violation of the Texas Health and Safety Code 481.115 possession of a controlled substance greater than or equal to one gram but less than four grams which, under Texas law, is a 3rd degree felony.  Now, note the charge was reduced when accepted by the DA to possession of a controlled substance less than one gram which is the lesser charge of a state jail felony (the lowest felony in Texas).  From my experience this was probably due to a plea bargain to expedite the case.  Bruce was sentenced to two years probation and fined a total of 1868 dollars (1500 dollar fine and 368 in court costs).  This doesn't include what he had to pay in monthly probation and the cost of an attorney.  I'd imagine this whole incident ended up costing him around 10,000 bucks after it was all over.  Controlled substances in Texas are drugs that have no medical use (excluding marijuana and LSD).  Nine times out of ten they are cocaine, methamphetamine or MDMA (ecstasy).

edit- forgot MDMA!

Steve the only person who could have put Oswald on the 6th floor with a gun as late as 12.25 was Bonnie Ray Williams. He failed to do so but it seems likely that someone (not Oswald) convinced him to  leave the SN (and his lunch unfinished). The Howard story may well be a concoction using Williams/Piper/Givens stories in an attempt to place LHO on the 6th floor. It is after all the dream witness required to seal the lone nut case. The best they could do was to get Givens to agree to the bogus cigarette story.
