Hugh Aynesworth has worked as a journalist for over fifty years. As a reporter
working for the Dallas Morning News he covered the assassination of President
John F. Kennedy. Over the next few years he investigated the links between
Lee Harvey Oswald and the Federal Bureau of Investigation and reported
on the trial of Jack Ruby. Aynesworth was also one of the first people
to interview Marina Oswald.
Aynesworth was a strong
supporter of the "lone assassin theory" and led the attacks on Mark Lane
and his book on the Warren Commission (Rush to Judgement).
In May, 1967 Aynesworth
published a critical article of Jim Garrison in Newsweek: "Garrison's tactics
have been even more questionable than his case. I have evidence that one
of the strapping D.A.'s investigators offered an unwilling "witness" $3,000
and a job with an airline - if only he would "fill in the facts" of the
alleged meeting to plot the death of the President. I also know that when
the D.A.'s office learned that this entire bribery attempt had been tape-recorded,
two of Garrison's men returned to the "witness" and, he says, threatened
him with physical harm."
Jim Garrison responded
to this article in his book, On The Trail of the Assassins (1988). He argued
that: "As for the $3,000 bribe, by the time I came across Aynesworth's
revelation, the witness our office had supposedly offered it to, Alvin
Babeouf, had admitted to us that it never happened. Aynesworth, of course,
never explained what he did with the "evidence" allegedly in his possession.
And the so-called bribery tape recording had not, in fact, ever existed."
As well as the Dallas
Morning News Aynesworth has worked for Newsweek and the Washington Times.
Books by Hugh Aynesworth include The Only Living Witness (1983), Murderers
Among Us: Unsolved Homicides, Mysterious Deaths and Killers at Large (1994),
Ted Bundy: Conversations with a Killer (2000) and JFK: Breaking the News
(2003).
