Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed. Misspellings in quoted evidence not changed; misspellings that could be due to mispronunciations were not changed. Some simple typographical errors were corrected. Inconsistent hyphenation of compound words retained. Ambiguous end-of-line hyphens retained. Occasional uses of "Mr." for "Mrs." and of "Mrs." for "Mr." corrected. Dubious repeated words, (e.g., "What took place by way of of conversation?") retained. Several unbalanced quotation marks not remedied. Occasional periods that should be question marks not changed. Occasional periods that should be commas, and commas that should be periods, were changed only when they clearly had been misprinted (at the end of a paragraph or following a speaker's name in small-caps at the beginning of a line). Some commas and semi-colons were printed so faintly that they appear to be periods or colons: some were found and corrected, but some almost certainly remain. Text in quotations is not indented unless it was indented in the source. "Air Force 1" usually is in italics, but in a few instances was printed upright as "Air Force I". Page 153: "Mr. Dhority. They identified Oswald as the No. 2 man in the lineup." probably was asked by Mr. Ball, not stated by Mr. Dhority. Page 160: "I could have heard, that" has misprinted comma after "heard". Page 163: "we we still" probably is misprint for "we were still". Page 195: "he had make a snapshot" is misprint for "made". Page 247: "until my discharge in 1944" was printed that way, but is inconsistent with being after World War II. Page 260: "Will you state you name" is misprint for "your". Page 263: "running, from the scene" has misprinted comma after "running". Page 272: "I took here into the" is misprint for "her". Page 284: "no bad pressure?" is misprint for "back". Page 302: "sit and each lunch with him" is misprint for "eat". Page 326: "raise your right and be sworn" is missing "hand". Page 359: "Dallas Time Herald Television Station" is misprint for "Times". Page 422: "in both the know and questioned" is misprint for "known". Page 436: "distoration" was printed that way. Page 457: "deal with an particular" is misprint for "any". Page 539: "that we taken" probably is missing "had". |
