Just what the Inspector expected: to accomplish with the in-
jection of the “reaction time" factcr is also unclear or what «
bearing it has. Moreover, I am inclined te believe that three- 4
quarters of a second is more than generous--in other words, @ .
long. time--for a man only 37 years cf age, in good physical bs
condition and mentally alert. When drunk? That's different, but
the Senator swore he was cold sober. :
And if we may revert to the upwardly adjusted estimated
- speed at which the Senator and Mary Jo may have been traveling, ;
this puts the report of the two Malm ladies, mother and gaughter,
who were living in the “Dyke House" (estimated from only 100 to
150 yards from the bridge) ina slightly different key. Both told
Chief Arena (The Incuest, p- 87) they had heard a car going past
unusually fast toward the bridge some time between 11:15 and
11:45 p.m., although their accounts aid not coincide exactly in
every detail. What puts it a little off-key is that the time is
a minimum of one hour too early to meld with Deputy Sherifi Lec -
report. But isn't it a pity the Malms couldn't have testified in
person? - .
ANOMALY E (p. 7)
Why was he so sure no one would be leokina for them until
morning? Should he net have assumed that the others would have
retnrned to Edcartown ac planned? And would Miss Newburgh (Mary .
Jo's roommate at the motel) not have missed her when she returned?
And would Mr. Gargan (who shared Mr. Kennedy's room at the Shire-
town Inn) not have missed him? Would the normal reaction net have
been to inform at least some of the others and, both having been
@iscovered missing, go look for them and/or notify the police?
ANOMALY F (p. 8)
_Had he really been upside down, with no seat belt holding
him (none was mentioned), all his weight would necessarily have
been on his head, since he was obviously using his hands to try
to hold the water back, and there wes nce mention of this urcomfort-
able position. The contusion on top of his head and the minor neck ~
injury attested to by a physician by afficavit does not necessarily
confirm that he did land on his head. :
