350 The Heir to the Throne [289]<br />

THE SECOND 'GUN'<br />

As part of Khan's scheme, the decision was made to have the actual<br />

assassination carried out by Sirhan Sirhan, a Jordanian-American, and<br />

another participant.<br />

According to Morrow's account, both Sirhan and the other gunmen<br />

were on the scene when RFK was assassinated. Both men fired weapons.<br />

Sirhan was using the .22 caliber pistol that was taken from him after the<br />

assassination. The other gunman, however, was carrying a CIAmanufactured<br />

.22 caliber gun disguised as a camera.<br />

After Kennedy gave his final address and made his way into the kitchen<br />

of the Ambassador Hotel, Sirhan, of course, thrust his own weapon out and<br />

began firing toward the senator. This resulted in Sirhan being the focus of<br />

attention, although one witness said that he had told the authorities that<br />

Sirhan never got close enough for a point-blank shot.<br />

The other gunman, meanwhile, was also firing his weapon and<br />

probably delivered the fatal shot. In the midst of the melee, according to<br />

Morrow, the second gunman escaped with his "camera." Obviously, it<br />

would not have done the assassination conspiracy good to have the other<br />

gunman captured with a CIA-manufactured weapon.<br />

OTHER POSSIBLE GUNMEN<br />

Many RFK assassination conspiracy theorists have pointed in the<br />

direction of a character named Thane Caesar who was on the scene at the<br />

time of the senator's murder, employed at the last minute by the<br />

Ambassador Hotel as a replacement for another security guard. There are<br />

those who suggest, without much real evidence, that Caesar was the "second<br />

gun." Although Caesar has been popularly described as a "bodyguard for<br />

Howard Hughes" (the reclusive billionaire), his real connections are far more<br />

interesting. Caesar, evidently, had more firm ties to the Meyer Lansky<br />

Organized Crime Syndicate through his Las Vegas connections. But this<br />

doesn't implicate Caesar one way or the other. In the end, the Thane Caesar<br />

story is just another one of those distractions that really don't point<br />

anywhere.<br />

Meanwhile, in her new book, The Assassinations (Los Angeles, Feral<br />

House, 2003), Lisa Pease has come forth with evidence that a British<br />

national of Jewish origin, Michael Wien, who went by the name of<br />

"Michael Wayne," was in the Ambassador Hotel ballroom before the<br />

shooting of RFK and seemed to have had advance knowledge of the<br />

impending events. After the shooting there were allegations that Wien (or<br />

"Wayne") was carrying what appeared to some to be a cardboard tube or<br />

some similar item and some people thought he had a gun concealed inside.<br />

Although the police apparently took Wien into custody for a brief period,<br />

Pease suggests that there are many more questions about Wien—and other<br />

suspicious individuals who were there that day-that remain unanswered. But<br />

Ms. Pease is one in the "research" community who dares not say "Mossad."
