A 189-dollar check for Lee Harvey Oswald and a 189-dollar check for one of JFK's Secret Service agents: November 1963, Dallas/Fort Worth!

 I was continuing to read the new and outstanding book THE JFK ASSASSINATION CHOKEHOLDS THAT PROVE THERE WAS A CONSPIRACY by Jim DiEugenio, Paul Bleau, Matt Crumpton, Andrew Iler, and Mark Adamcyzk and I came across a very interesting entry concerning Lee Harvey Oswald, Leonard Hutchison and a 189-dollar check that Oswald---or a double---attempted to cash which is a whopping 1,896 in 2023 dollars, a huge amount for the broke Oswald (Page 152; for the Warren Commission reference: 10 H 335)

189 dollars? Hmmm. I knew I had heard of this unique check amount before with regard to events connected in some way to Oswald and the assassination.

And I had, indeed (18 H 672-673): JFK Secret Service agent Andy Berger ALSO tried to cash a 189-dollar check in the Dallas/Fort Worth area like Oswald in November 1963! This is also a huge amount for the mostly broke Secret Service agents (read Gerald Blaine's whining about their low pay in The Kennedy Detail)

Secret Service agent Andy Berger was one of the agents who caroused at both the Fort Worth Press Club (drinking alcohol against regulations) and The Cellar into the early morning hours of 11/22/63 (18 H 683):

Berger would later drive JFK's body in the hearse out of Parkland Hospital and on to Love Field and Air Force One. Berger was also part of the shift that involved working with fellow agent Richard Johnsen, the keeper of CE399 (18 H 680):

As I discovered years ago, Berger was also the agent who reported the presence of a CIA AGENT at Parkland Hospital, as well as the presence of FBI agent Vince Drain, "a doctor friend of his", and an unidentified FBI agent who had to be restrained by Berger from entering the emergency room (18 H 795-796)! The unidentified FBI agent turned out to be J. Doyle Williams (JFK: From Parkland To Bethesda, page 87)

From another forum today [5/29/17]:

"James Suggs--- The oddest thing I'm from Ft. Worth, Recently I was talking about JFK with an old friend I trust. He said his friend had told him that his uncle, Doyle Williams, who had been an FBI agent back then, had made sort of a deathbed confession that he had been the one that had placed the bullet found on the gurney at Parkland Hospital. Can Mr. Williams being an agent then, here(?), his whereabouts on 11/22/63 and whatever else be confirmed perchance."

J. Doyle Williams was also the FBI "stand-in" for John Connally during the May 23 - 24, 1964 Warren Commission reconstruction in Dallas.
