Eyewitness to Tragedy: The Ed Hoffman Story

A good article by Mark Arnold about a deaf-mute named Ed Hoffman who saw two men behind the picket fence on the grassy knoll. Hoffman reported that one of the men had a rifle.

"The one constant in the whole Ed Hoffman narrative is that if one takes the time and care necessary to understand him, his story has never changed: that on Friday, November 22, 1963, he was standing on Stemmons Freeway with an excellent view east, into the area behind the picket fence atop the grassy knoll, and there saw two men work together, one of them shooting at the President with a rifle, the other breaking it down and making his getaway through the rail yard."
