RE: Powell's revolver
Quote:William H.Bell testified that he saw Powell strike Fred Seward at least twice. This is from Poore's transcription. Quote:The picture of Powell's weapon looks like a Whitney- am I correct? Linda - thanks! Yes - as far as I know, Powell did not belabor Fred Seward as Hollywood has shown in the past - repeatedly striking him 5-6 times.... Bill - yes, Powell's weapon was a Whitney. I do think (and several others have agreed with me) that Powell panicked at Seward's.... he was a highly excitable young man and felt that by knocking Fred "unconscious" (but not considering the damage that he did) that he had obliterated an obstacle in his course in order to get at his target. Forgive me for referring to other human beings as obstacles or targets.....but that is more or less what he probably considered at the time - "The Past is a foreign country...they do things differently there" - L. P. Hartley |
