Warren
Burroughs was assistant manager of the Texas Theatre in Oak Cliff.
John
Brewer,
the manager of Hardy's Shoe Store, saw
a man acting strangely outside his shop: "The police cars were
racing up and down Jefferson with their sirens blasting and it appeared
to me that this guy was hiding from them. He waited until there was
a break in the activity and then he headed west until he got to the
Texas Theatre."
Brewer
went into the theatre and spoke to Burroughs about this suspicious
character. Burroughs had seen him enter the balcony of the theatre.
When
the police arrived Brewer accompanied the officers into the cinema
where he pointed out the man he had seen acting in a suspicious manner.
After a brief struggle Lee Harvey Oswald
was arrested.
Burroughs
claimed that Oswald enter the Texas Theatre just after 1.00. He also
testified that Oswald came downstairs and purchased some popcorn at
1.15. This information caused problems for the Warren
Commission
as
it was claimed that J. D. Tippit had been
shot at 1.16.
