of 42 frames. If one shot were fired and then another in a shorter
interval than 42 frames, that would add up to two assassins. For
there to have been but one assassin there would have had to been
an even spacing of the shots with a minimum of 42 frames between
each shot. As a matter of fact, the Warren Report iuforms us, a
majority of the witnesses stated the shots were not evenly fired,
but that the second and third shots were "bunched! together. Indeed,
even Secret Service agent Roy H. Kellerman testified that shots
were bunched
He was in the President's car and stated "...a
flurry of shells came into the car " Kellerman described these
shots as so bunched as to be like "a plane breaking the sound
barrier, bang, bang. " (II H 74 & 76) With the unfortunately slow
weapon of Oswald's in their possession, and testimony concerning
"bunching," immediate action should have ensued aimed at finding
two or more assassins and other weapons. What the government was
really s'aying was that, irrespective of what its honest agents
such as Roy H. Kellerman concluded, there was to be one assassin
and he was to be Oswald.

Still, evidence of more than one assassin having been involved
in the assassination continued to pour into the Dallas police
authorities. Whether two assassins or many, it seemed clear that
the escapé . had been well planned. Local police agencies and the
F.B.I. normally respond to bank robberies and other crimes by
setting up road blocks and by mobilizing dragnets. But, in this
case, which involved the assassination of a President and the wounding
