Jack
Lawrence worked for the Downtown Lincoln-Mercury car dealership in
Dallas. Lawrence claimed that Lee
Harvey Oswald asked
to test-drive a car in early November. Afterwards Lawrence reported
the incident to the Federal
Bureau of Investigation.
On 21st November, 1963,
Lawrence borrowed one of the firm's cars. The following day he failed
to turn up for work. According to Jim Marrs
(Crossfire): "about thirty
minutes after the assassination, he came hustling through the company's
show room, pale and sweating with mud on his clothes. He rushed into
the men's room and threw up. He told co-workers he had been ill that
morning, and that he had tried to drive the car back to the dealership
but had to park it due to the heavy traffic. Later, employees found
the car parked behind the wooden picket fence on top of the Grassy
Knoll overlooking Dealey Plaza."
Lawrence's strange behaviour
was reported to the Dallas police. He was interviewed by officers
investigating the assassination of John
F. Kennedy.
They discovered that Lawrence was a marksman in the United
States Air Force.
According to Beverly
Oliver, Lawrence was a regular at the Carousel Club (owned by
Jack
Ruby)
and a close friend of George Senator.
