Special Agent George W. Hickey Collection
I recently acquired many items from the estate of Special Agent George W. Hickey. Special Agent Hickey was a Secrete Service Agent assigned to executive protection for The Kennedy White House and he was assigned to President Kennedy ill fated motorcade that ended with the death of a President and the end of an era.
.
A Short History of Special Agent George Hickey
George Hickey was born in 1923. He became a member of the Secret Service working for the White House in Washington. During the motorcade tour of Dallas on 22nd November, 1963, Hickey was in the follow-up car, directly behind the presidential limousine. When President John F. Kennedy was shot he rose to his feet with his AR-15 machine gun but did not fire it.
.
Winston G. Lawson claimed: "As the lead car
was passing under this bridge I heard the first loud, sharp report and in more
rapid succession two more sounds like gunfire. I could see persons to the left
of the motorcade vehicles running away. I noticed Agent Hickey standing up in
the follow-up car with the automatic weapon and first thought he had fired at
someone." The following day Hickey was quick to deny he fired a shot. He issued
a statement: "After a very short distance I heard a loud report which sounded
like a firecracker. It appeared to come from the right and rear and seemed to me
to be at ground level. I stood up and looked to my right and rear in an attempt
to identify it. Nothing caught my attention except people shouting and
cheering." Tim McIntyre, the Secret Service Agent standing next to him at the
time also confirmed there was no shot.
.
The Warren Commission reported: "Special Agent George W.
Hickey, Jr., in the rear seat of the Presidential follow-up car, picked up and
cocked an automatic rifle as he heard the last shot. At this point the cars were
speeding through the underpass and had; left the scene of the shooting, but
Hickey kept the automatic weapon ready as the car raced to the hospital. Most of
the other Secret Service agents in the motorcade had drawn their sidearms.
.
In Mortal Error: The Shot that Killed JFK, published in
1992, Bonar Menninger argues that Kennedy was killed by Hickey. He claimed that
after the first shot, he stood up and lost his balance, and accidentally
discharging his gun into the back of Kennedy’s head. According to Menninger:
"Hickey reaches down and grabs the AR-15 off the floor, flips off the safety and
stands up on the seat, preparing to return fire. But his footing is precarious.
The follow-up car hits the brakes or speeds up. Hickey begins to swing the gun
around to draw a bead on Oswald, but he loses his balance. He begins to fall.
And the barrel happens to be pointing toward Kennedy's head. And the gun happens
to go off."
In April, 1995, George Hickey sued St. Martin's Press
about what was said about him in the book, Mortal Error: The Shot that Killed
JFK. His lawyer, Mark S. Zaid: "We're trying to stop this now while Hickey's
still alive... He doesn't want his grandchildren growing up and hearing other
children say, Hey, your grandfather killed the president of the United States."
According to Zaid: "We settled the case then but only if it included an apology
from the publisher that would send the message to most reasonable people that
the theory was flawed."
George Hickey died in 2011. Aware that he could no longer be sued, Bonar
Menninger worked with Colin McLaren, a veteran Australian police detective, to
make a documentary, JFK: The Smoking Gun, repeating the claims.
