Evidence of Second Shooter in J.F.K. Assassination Released in New Book
Posted on: 09/23/2003

NEW YORK -- Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone in the J.F.K. assassination, says former L.B.J. attorney Barr McClellan, and he has posted new evidence on a Web site promoting his forthcoming book, "Blood, Money & Power: How L.B.J. Killed J.F.K."

McClellan states that images posted on the website www.BarrMcClellan.com, identify 14 match points to a fingerprint found at the Texas Schoolbook Depository with that of a known assassin, Mac Wallace. The website also matches a police composite of a suspect involved in an earlier murder with a photograph of Wallace.

The most compelling evidence of all, says McClellan, is not posted on the Web site but is presented in his book, due Sept. 30, 2003 from Hannover House. Photographs, personal memos and other legal records in the book document the payments and maneuvers orchestrated by Texas power broker Ed Clark Law Firm to compensate Wallace and others for their part in the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. The book also identifies the money-laundering corporation used by Johnson. The Clark Law Firm handled most of the personal, business and political transactions for then-vice president Lyndon Baines Johnson, who succeeded to the role of president immediately following the death of Kennedy.

Barr McClellan represented President Lyndon Johnson and his interests from 1966 through 1971. He served primarily through Texas power attorney Edward Clark and Johnson business attorney Don Thomas, advising on political strategy, campaign contributions, attorney-client privilege issues, television and labor disputes. He was also personal attorney for Clark in seeking an assassination bonus from Big Oil interests in Dallas, an effort that included two major lawsuits.

McClellan's insider knowledge of deals coordinated by the Clark Law Firm assisted in locating the evidence of the assassination conspiracy to benefit Johnson. A major breakthrough, McClellan reports, was the donation of thousands of unedited documents concerning L.B. J. from the Clark Estates to Southwestern University. The release of these documents helped lift the veil of client-attorney privilege that had blocked many researchers from understanding of what happened surrounding the assassination and L.B.J.'s involvement.

"When I had the necessary corroboration, it was time to complete the book," McClellan said, "because the terrible injustice done to John Kennedy and to the American people had to be revealed." McClellan added, "Only by knowing what happened will we be able to make the necessary improvements in our legal systems."
