BEYOND THE FENCE LINE:
THE EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT OF ED HOFFMAN
AND THE MURDER OF
PRESIDENT KENNEDY
By Casey J. Quinlan & Brian K. Edwards
Foreword by Jim Marrs
Ed Hoffman is a most important eyewitness in the murder of President Kennedy.
He should have been embraced for coming forward but instead was crucified by
the electronic and print media. He is the only witness who can “speak” to the
fundamental events of November 22, 1963. The conspirators were hoping that no
one would see the activity behind the picket fence, but someone did. The irony is
that the only eyewitness to their activity that afternoon has a hearing disability.

Remembering Gaeton Fonzi
Gaeton Fonzi was one of the most relentless investigators on the House Select Committee on
Assassinations in the late 1970s, remembered by former colleagues with both awe and echoes of
the impatience he inspired with his pursuit of the full story behind the assassination of President
John F. Kennedy.
Mr. Fonzi was also the staff member most publicly dismayed by the committee’s final report,
which concluded in 1979 that the president “was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy.”
Of course it was a conspiracy, said Mr. Fonzi, a journalist recruited mainly on the strength of
scathing magazine critiques he had written about the Warren Commission and its conclusion
that Lee Harvey Oswald had acted alone in killing the president in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963. But
who were the conspirators? What was their motive? How could the committee close its doors
without the answers?
Mr. Fonzi, who died in Florida on Aug. 30, 2012, at 76, nailed those questions to the committee’s
locked doors, figuratively, in a long article he wrote the next year for Washingtonian magazine and in a 1993 book, The Last
Investigation. In both, he chronicled the near-blanket refusal of government intelligence agencies, especially the C.I.A., to
provide the committee with documents it requested. And he accused committee leaders of folding under pressure — from
Congressional budget hawks, political advisers and the intelligence agencies themselves — just as promising new leads were

Resources
Since the advent of the internet research has never been more accessable. Where do you
look for JFK information or know what to look for? Recommended sites are below.
W. R. Poage Legislative Library
The library supports programs designed to inform and educate students, scholars,
and the general public on the history of Congress, the legislative process, and
current issues facing both local, state and national governments. The library
encourages the preservation of materials that document the work of government,
including the papers of U.S. congressional representatives, Texas state legislators,
and judges. The Library is located on the Baylor University campus in Waco,
Texas. Most of their holdings are on the web: http://www.baylor.edu/lib/poage/
The Mary Ferrell Foundation
The Foundation is a non-profit organization engaged in an ongoing effort to bring
accessible and interactive history to a new generation of critical thinkers. With a
wide topic base including the assassinations of the 1960s, the Watergate scandal,
and post-Watergate intelligence abuse investigations, the MFF’s vast digital archive
at www.maryferrell.org contains over 1.2 million pages of documents, government
reports, books, essays, and hours of multimedia. http://www.maryferrell.org/
Assassination Archives and Research Center
The AARC’s holdings comprise the most extensive collection of records on the JFK
assassination in private hands. It has approximately 1,500 books on assassinations,
organized crime, covert activities, and a wide variety of other subjects relevant to
the study of assassinations and related topics. Its “main files” consist of newspaper
and magazine articles, unpublished manuscripts, trial transcripts, photographs,

History Matters
At the end of the Cold War and the passage of the 1992 JFK Assassination Records
Collection Act, the U.S. Government has declassified an enormous number of
formerly-secret documents. Among the most stunning are those pertaining to the
1963 assassination of President Kennedy and subsequent investigations. These
records contain stark indications of conspiracy, and a great wealth of material
concerning the hows and whys of the ensuing coverup. The documents include
startling “new” facts about 1960s foreign policy regarding Vietnam, Cuba, and
the other frontlines of the war against Communism. Find the MFF on the web:

David Denton - Preparing for the 50th Anniversary
A social science instructor at Olney Central College, became
interested in the JFK assassination in the late 1980s and for the
last decade has attended historical symposiums on the subject
in Dallas, Texas. He has interviewed people associated with the
case and has researched hundreds of documents related to both
Kennedy and suspected assassin Lee Harvey Oswald. In 2001,
he began teaching a course on political assassinations of the
1960s, which explores the deaths of President John F. Kennedy,
Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. Denton has brought
nationally-recognized experts on the JFK assassination to the
area in connection with the class. Denton has given numerous

of the April 1993 Chicago Midwest Symposium on Assassination.
Along with articles and reviews, DiEugenio has written two books
on the Kennedy assassinations. “Destiny Betrayed “(1992) was the
first positive reconsideration of the Jim Garrison investigation in a
generation. “The Assassinations” (2003, co-edited with Lisa Pease)
analyzed the murders of RFK, MLK, and Malcolm X, but devoted
most its pages to the newly released ARRB documents in the JFK
case. He and Pease also edited the journal Probe (1993-2000) which
focused on the releases by the ARRB and new developments in the
King and RFK cases. DiEugenio has an MA in Contemporary
American History from California State University Northridge.
He was asked by Oliver Stone to do a commentary track on the
expanded DVD version of his film JFK.

student trips to Dallas to study the assassination. Edwards is the
co-Author of the book, “Beyond The Fence Line: The Eyewitness
Account of Ed Hoffman and the Murder of President Kennedy”.
Barry Ernest - The Girl on the Stairs
With a degree in journalism and communications, Barry Ernest
honed his skills as an investigative reporter and features writer at
newspapers in New York and Pennsylvania. It was a tip from a
friend in 1967 that started Ernest looking for answers to the John
Kennedy assassination. The result of those lengthy efforts is his book
“The Girl on the Stairs”. His study of this subject over the years has
led him to the witnesses of Dallas, as well as the documents of the
National Archives. He has appeared on numerous radio talk shows
and, ironically enough, has been featured in countless newspaper
interviews. He also provided research and investigative services for
several noted authors on the assassination, including David Lifton,
Penn Jones Jr., and Harold Weisberg, the latter considered to have
been the leading authority on this case. Ernest now lives with his
wife in Harrisburg, Pa., where he continues to research, write, and
maintain his blog while answering the many questions he is asked
about the assassination and its missing witness. In 2011, Ernest
was given the Mary Ferrell - JFK Lancer “Pioneer” Award for his
lifetime dedication to the study of the Kennedy assassination.
Lee Farley - The Bledsoe quandary
Born and raised in Liverpool, England Farley has been interested
in the Kennedy assassination since he was approximately 15 years
old, now almost 25 years. In his early 20s the interest began to turn
into something of an obsession and Farley started building a quite
substantial book collection. Notes that accompanied his reading
became quite extensive and he knew the obsession would not end
November 22nd Ft. Worth
until he knew who Lee Harvey Oswald really was. He was right.
Today he am a member of John Simkin’s Education Forum and
have been working with other interested parties in trying to figure
out which parts of the official assassination narrative are false and
why the official story was built the way it was. Farley has focused
research on some of the micro-activities of Lee Oswald both pre
and post–assassination. At this conference he will be explain why
Lee Oswald’s movements immediately after the assassination
were incredibly important to authorities, and how and why they
ultimately lied about them. Farley is currently working on a book
and will hopefully have something ready in 2013.
Sherry Feister - Enemy of the Truth: Witness Myths
In 1995 Fiester, a Certified Senior Crime Scene Investigator and
Court recognized expert, begin to apply her professional expertise

the Kennedy Assassination”, is published by JFK Lancer. In 2003,
Fiester was presented with the Mary Ferrell - JFK Lancer “New
Frontier” Award in appreciation for her contributions of new
evidence and furthering the study of the assassination of President
John F. Kennedy.
Dr. Glover in Dealey Plaza
Dr. Antoinette G. Glover - Dealey Plaza Witness
Standing on a concrete pedestal at the corner of Houston and Elm
Streets in Dealey Plaza, eleven-year-old Toni Glover watched the
Presidential motorcade standing on a pedestal from the moment
the limo turned onto Houston Street, to the second it went
under the Triple Underpass making her a very young witness the
Kennedy assassination. She is currently working on researching
people’s emotional reaction and how it effected them throughout
their lives. (Bell film frame) Dr. Glover is the Associate Professor
and Director of the Writing Program at the University of Scranton.
She received both her Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree in
English and Theatre from the University of Texas at Arlington.
Glover then went on to accomplish her doctorate degree at the
University of Texas at Dallas. Dr. Glover is also involved with a
foundation in conjunction with The Women’s Resource Center
that rescues the pets of abused women and children, called Safe
Haven, and is a foster service for the pets of the abused.
he’s made available. He co-authored, with Connie Kritzberg,
“November Patriots” and is author of the acclaimed “Someone
Would Have Talked”, now in its third, 2010 edition. Larry has a
new book “NEXUS: Political Assassinations and the CIA” that
includes new information and analysis on the CIA and Extreme
Deniability, The Culture of the Agency, and Spy Games in Mexico
City. Hancock describes his book saying in essence that this work
deals with what happened rather than “how could something like
that happen? How can you take a position that CIA officers were
involved and yet maintain that it was not an act of the Agency as
a whole? The only way to respond to that question is to engage in
a historical study of how political assassination evolved within the
Central Intelligence Agency. Hancock has also published a study
of the RFK assassination, “Incomplete Justice” on the Mary Ferrell
Foundation website, and along with Stuart Wexler, co-authored
the publication of their new work on the MLK assassination “The
Awful Grace of God” in the spring of 2011. Visit Hancock online

Barry Krusch - Impossible / The Case Against Lee
Oswald
Krusch has a Bachelors degree in Psychology from Emory
University located in Atlanta Georgia, and a Masters degree in
Education from Hunter college in New York City. Krusch also
attended law school at the University of Georgia for a year. After
working as an investigator for Atlanta Legal Aid for four years
and a Paralegal for four years, he has worked as an instructional
designer, senior instructional designer, and project manager for
the last twenty years. Krusch’s latest book is “Impossible: The
Case Against Lee Harvey Oswald”, divided into three volumes.
This extensive work, over 1000 pages, demonstrates conclusively
that the notion of a lone assassin in the Kennedy assassination
is a complete myth, in no way justified by the evidence, and that
therefore any case against Lee Harvey Oswald based on the
notion of a lone assassin must completely fail. Krusch is also
author of several earlier books. His first book, “The 21st Century
Constitution”, published in 1992 by Stanhope Press, was reviewed
by New York Law School professor Richard Bernstein in his
book “Amending America” where Bernstein stated Krusch’s work
“may well be the most thoughtful and thorough reframing of the
Constitution yet attempted.” His second book, “Would the Real
First Amendment Please Stand Up?” was published in 1996. As
a result of his works on the constitution, Krusch has appeared on
the Tom Snyder radio show, as well as C-SPAN. He is also listed
as an encyclopedia entry in the “Encyclopedia Of Constitutional
Amendments”.

Bill Simpich - The Mexico City Solution Is In Our
Hands
Simpich is a civil rights attorney and an antiwar activist in the
San Francisco Bay Area. The main areas of his law practice
are government misconduct and toxic tort violations. He also
writes for publications such as “Truthout”, “Counterpunch” and
“OpedNews”. Simpich considers the assassination cases to be a
poorly understood area of civil rights violations. To preserve cold
cases, he is preparing a proposed JFK Preservation of Evidence
Act that would be applicable in both of these areas of the law and
administered by a citizen panel similar to the ARRB. Simpich‘s
study of the JFK case focuses on the documentary evidence, rather
than firearms, acoustics, and other forensic evidence. His current
focus is Mexico City and the counterintelligence aspects of the
JFK assassination investigation.

was a minor consultant to Oliver Stone’s film, JFK. Tatro was also
responsible, via the LBJ Library, of the release of the rough drafts
of NSAM #273, which he shared with L. Fletcher Prouty, who
then shared them with Oliver Stone for JFK. He testified before
the Assassination Records Review Board, March, 1995, in Boston,

NEXUS: The CIA and Political Assassination
Larry Hancock
NEXUS — written to provide a full picture of the culture and
conditions which could allow illegal acts to be instigated by CIA
personnel and then not be exposed by an Agency investigation.
NEXUS bravely asks, how can you take a position that CIA
officers were involved and yet maintain that it was not an act
of the Agency as a whole?
NEXUS — a historical study of how political assassination
evolved within the Central Intelligence Agency. And perhaps
most importantly‚ asks who were the people actually involved
in such actions as political assassination and even on a grander
scale, “executive action” of senior political leaders during the
1950’s and 1960’s.

he assumed the impromptu undertaking of providing assistance to First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy and

widow. Now, he has opened that door of memory and asked us to step through.

Appian Way Productions
A message from George DiCaprio of Appian Way Productions and the
authors of Legacy of Secrecy, Lamar Waldron and Thom Hartman:
Convivial greetings to the attendees and speakers of Lancer. We
hope that our attempt to create a feature film about the JFK murder
will be greeted with a wave of interest from the discerning scholars
who make the trip to Dallas each year. Beyond this, we hope the
film arouses a wide-spread demand for the release of all the JFK
assassination files that are still being withheld from public scrutiny.
