So, may we surmise that perhaps the original intention in g@- ing to Chappaquiddick was to receive and not to make a phone cal and that, if one was indeed made, it was after Mr. Bettencourt e- lightened the Senator regarding the discovery at Dike Bridge? Za -_ this vein,sremember that the ferry made two or three round trips + before Hr. Hewitt catalyzed them into returning. wwe flashback to Mr. Malloy, as he explained the inform- tion o@ the sheet concerning "just about all” of the calls that emanatéii from the Edgartown area that ‘were billed to the Senator's « Boston account: "On the 19th, the first one was 10:57." That ws approximately approximately an hour and a half after the time of the alleged call from Chappaquiddick and almost two hours after the one from the Shiretown Inn (9:01) "to.get Mr. Marshall's number." Aad ; We recall that, although he had examined the records of Mr. Kenne- dy’s Washington and Virginia billing accounts as well, he had brought only those records of calls charged to his Boston number. Or would you prefer to believe that both the call from the Shiretom and the one from Chappaquiddick a half hour later (?) were paid for in nickels, dimes and quarters? (Let this be perfectly clear be- fore leaving this discussion: Both Messrs. Malloy and Parrott are honorable men--so are they all, all honorable men (and women) .) Now another flashback--to the discussion of Anomaly R (p. 42). Do you still believe the Senator didn't know what time it was, that he couldn't find his watch, dressed and went out looking for a clock Or someone with a watch? Or would you rather believe he was looking ‘for a telephone?

Would the Senator want to’ admit this to Mr. ‘Peachey, whom he nei- — ‘ther expected nor wanted to meet? After Mr. Kennedy returned to “his room (with the knowledge of the time), did he wali a nal f—hiw for Mr. Peachey to leave for the night, then go back down to the de- i ' Serted lobby and make the 2:54 a.m. call in an attempt to reach his dear old friend, Burke Marshall? Did he then return to his roca for a couple of hours, where he “almost tossed and turned" and pace? the room wondering what to do about the accident and grieving for the loss of a devoted friend? , Whatever the answers to these questions, do you have a better understanding of why the Senator said (footnoted 19, p. 15) that be "never really went to bed that night?" By the way, if his watch wasn't waterproof, it wouldn't have Gone much good if he had found it. Or did he "forget" it early in the evening as he left for the cook-out? Or would it have been mm down by that time, in any event? ‘ANOMALY U (p. 18) This is one of several anomalies that must be shared with _ Senator Kennedy, Judge Boyle being one, the extent cr degree being arbitrary. It refers, of course, to Mr. Dinis‘'s having just asked Mr. Kennedy if he had, indeed, done what he claimed in his state- ment with regard to notifying the police. He was at the very swont-
