‘Braden, along with ex-convict Morgan Brown, was staying at the Cabana Motel, the same motel visited by (Jack)Ruby the night of November 21.’ – Jim Marrs, Crossfire, 1993.

‘While visiting the alleged assassin’s grave on the third anniversary of his death he(author William Morris) encountered an agent who’d worked with Oswald in the CIA…Agent X told him that (Loran)Hall was in Dallas on November 22, 1963 as part of the assassination squad which was directed by Eugene Hale Brading.’ – Alan J. Weberman & Michael Canfield, Coup d’Etat in America, 1975.

‘While we were in the criminal courts building we saw Eugene Brading, aka Jim Braden…Braden would later leave Dallas by way of Love Field Airport.’ – Chauncey Holt & Wim Daakbaar, Self-Portrait of a Scoundrel, 2013.

‘Carlos Marcello would utilize Guy Bannister and David Ferrie for (Castro opponent Mario)Kohly’s exile groups at Lake Ponchatrain, Louisiana.  Eladio del Valle was the coordinator and liaison between the two groups.’ – Robert D. Morrow, First Hand Knowledge, 1992.

‘I received a second phone call.  It was del Valle…he asked me to supply him with four transceivers which were not detectable by any communications equipment then available on the market.’ – Robert D. Morrow, First Hand Knowledge, 1992.

‘Hall later told DA Jim Garrison he was offered $50,000 to kill JFK but turned it down.’ – Charles E. Hurlburt, It’s Time for the Truth, 2012.

‘They had better be perfect, compadre.  They are for Texas…Kennedy’s going to get it in Dallas.’ – Robert D. Morrow, First Hand Knowledge, 1992.

*************************************************************************************

The Dal-Tex Building was located across the street from the Texas School Book Depository.  It offered a great view of JFK’s motorcade from behind, which was not obstructed by trees like portions of the view from the alleged ‘sniper’s nest’ on the 6th Floor of the Book Depository.

In the moments after the JFK assassination a man named Eugene Hale Brading(aka Jim Braden) was arrested for questioning after he was discovered on the 3rd floor of the Dal-Tex Building.  He was a complete stranger to the area and said he was in the building looking for a phone to use.   Brading was known as a Mafia courier for the likes of gangsters such as Santo Trafficante, Carlos Marcello and Meyer Lansky.  Braden was not known as an expert marksman or assassin like some of the other JFK assassination suspects.  He may have served as a radio coordinator for the JFK shooters, whose role would be to give the word for the assassins to fire in simultaneous volleys to conceal the true number of shooters and gunshots that day.  Braden was also in the vicinity of the RFK assassination later on as well in California in 1968.

An electronics expert named Robert D. Morrow wrote a book called First Hand Knowledge in which he claimed that a Cuban exile named Eladio del Valle asked him to make several sets of low band radios and earpieces which would only have to work for a few minutes which no 3rd parties could intercept or monitor.   He assumed they might be used for anti-Castro plots only to learn later on that they may have been used instead to coordinate the JFK assassination.   Braden presumably could have used said transceivers to communicate with the several teams of shooters to coordinate and minimize their shooting to fit with the pre-planned ‘Oswald did it’ scenario.

Presumably the plot called for killing JFK with as few shots fired as possible to make the planned ‘lone nut’ scenario at least somewhat plausible.  If the shooters in the Dal Tex Building, TSBD or the County Records Building in Dealey Plaza had done their jobs more efficiently, and actually killed JFK with their shots from behind, no extra shots would have been needed from the Grassy Knoll or anywhere else!  As it were, one shot from the Dal Tex Building hit JFK from the back, while another missed altogether and hit a curb which in turn splintered and hit a witness named James Tague.  JFK was hit numerous times in the throat and torso and was in bad shape but was still clinging to life before he was finally finished off by the fatal headshot from the right front.

Retired US Steel engineer turned JFK assassination investigator, Tom Wilson, noticed the figure of a gunman with a goatee in the Dal-Tex Building using photonic imaging techniques.  Facial hair was out of vogue in 1963 in the USA because of anti-Castro sentiment.  One such JFK conspiracy suspect who wore a goatee, nevertheless, was a CIA affiliated mercenary named Loran Hall.

Chauncey Holt: I brought Phony Secret Service credentials to Dallas for the JFK Conspirators

‘We had been told an incident was going to be created which could be laid at the door of pro-Castro Cubans. The word attempted assassination was never used…It was such an elaborate set up. When you think back, I couldn’t possibly have been so duped. When we saw him on TV and he said, “I’m just a patsy!” I tell you the word really rang home.’ – Chauncey Holt 1991

In the above video, Chauncey Marvin Holt expresses his feelings of remorse and anger about what happened to framed, sacrificed patsy, Oswald.  Holt was a criminal renaissance man who dabbled in counterfeiting, forgery, accounting fraud, weapons testing and modifications and other criminal schemes for Meyer Lansky and the CIA during his career.  He was picked up with Charles Harrelson and Charles Rogers as the ‘3 Tramps’ arrested in a railroad car and quietly released by Dallas PD a few hours after the JFK assassination.

In a long, fascinating 1991 interview Holt revealed some startling new facts about the JFK assassination:

-Holt worked at a (CIA & Meyer Lansky-financed) California company called LASCO which made badges for law enforcement personnel throughout the country

-on November 15th 1963 orders came through for 10-15 sets of phony Secret Service badges, credentials and lapel pins to be created and brought to Dallas for November 21st.

-Holt was also told to bring a shipment of specially made ammunition and handguns equipped with silencers to Dallas

-Holt drove to Dallas to deliver the goods in a car with CIA pilot, James J. Canty and mobsters Leo Moceri and Charles Nicoletti and did not actually make it to Dallas until the morning of November 22 due to some car and weather problems.

-Holt was ordered to leave the phony Secret Service credentials in a pickup truck parked near the railroad area in Dealey Plaza, concluding his delivery mission.

-Holt was told that there would be some sort of disturbance during the JFK visit to Dallas which would be blamed on Pro-Castro supporters for the CIA/Organized Crime’s political benefit and that he could flee to a specifically marked, unlocked railroad car if things got too wild after the planned incident.

-Holt took a walk around Dealey Plaza before JFK’s motorcade came through and noticed several professional hitmen he had encountered in prior CIA/Organized Crime activities

-after the shooting and the related chaos ensued, Holt encountered Charles Harrelson and Charles Rogers and the group proceeded to find the special railroad car to hide in  (Holt confirmed that there were phony IDs made for Charles Harrelson and Charles Rogers in his shipment.)  The trio hid in the car for almost 2 hours listening to police radio broadcasts on a state of the art walkie-talkie Holt had been given, before police finally opened the door and found them inside.

-the ‘3 Tramps’ were taken into Dallas PD custody where they were not handcuffed, frisked, interrogated, fingerprinted or jailed.  Eventually an FBI man named Gordon Shanklin told them they were free to go. (Shanklin also had his FBI underling James Hosty interview Oswald while he was in custody prior to his assassination by Jack Ruby. Hosty never said or produced notes as to what Oswald told him.  Many now surmise that Hosty was Oswald’s FBI handler and that informant Oswald was feeding him details of the JFK assassination plot he had infiltrated and hoped to thwart.)

-Holt left police custody and hopped a flight out of Dallas with James Canty from nearby Redbird Airport en route back to California

-he was imprisoned under an alias in the 1970’s so that the House Committee on Assassinations could not find him to call him to testify (or to have been killed with numerous other JFK players and witnesses before they could tell their tales!)

Finally:

Some have disputed Mr. Holt’s claim that he was the ‘old tramp’ from the JFK assassination, but check out what happens when one of Mr. Holt’s personal family photos is superimposed on the ‘3 Tramps’ photo.
