The Berkshire Eagle, of Pittsfield, Massachusetts on the assassination day carried a front-page refutation of a cut-and- dry-one-assassin theory which refutation should have given pause to the Pentagon's immediate conclusion that one assassin had performed the bloody work at Dealey Plaza: "Three gunbursts of fire, apparently from automatic weapons, were heard. " Perhaps no automatic weapon or weapons were used. Perhaps there was no firing from the grassy knoll. Perhaps the Connally wounds did not prove conspiracy. Perhaps the later drying cleaning and pressing of the Connally clothing prior to submission to a the F.B.I. was just/function of idiotic innocence on the part of the, government. Perhaps there were just three shots and not bursts of gun- fire But, the press accounts of the wounds, their complexity and number, and the initial accounts of automati weapons firing from otherithan the Texas Book Depository provide a grim background for the Pentagon's reassurances to the President and the cabinet that one man positioned behind_ the President. Back in Dealey Plaza the Evidence Spells out Conspiracy = Not only did the shots seem to emanate from the grassy knoll area by virtue of the auditory clues , but puffs of smoke were reported as seen in the area of the knoll at the time of the 1 firing. In addition to puffs of smoke being seen in the grassy knoll locale, gunpowder was smelled in the same area. Such evidence, -15- 15 Lane, Mark, op. cit.,1 p. 31.
