...Chappaquiddick and driven three miles in an Oldsmobile or a rented 1968 white Valiant to a small cottage for an evening cookout. Between 11:15 and 11:30 p.m., Kennedy told Crimmins-but no one else-that he was tired and was returning to his room at the Shiretown Inn in Edgartown. Mary Jo left too, telling the Senator that she wanted to be driven back to her motel, some two miles from the Shiretown. But Mary Jo told none of the others; she left her pocketbook and her room key at the cottage...
...nominee, the only certainty is that it would be an uncommonly dirty campaign. Already some automobile bumper stickers are appearing: REMEMBER CHAPPAQUIDDICK and WOULD MARY JO VOTE FOR TED? The Republican National Committee's newsletter Monday this month showed a sign that hangs on the office wall in the Shiretown Inn on Martha's Vineyard, where Kennedy was staying the weekend of Chappaquiddick: PLEASE...
...license prefix "L" (Kennedy's license plate was L-78207) heading for the Dike Bridge at approximately 12:45 a.m., an hour and a half after Kennedy said that he and Mary Jo had left for the ferry. Another is Russell Peachey, co-owner of Edgartown's Shiretown Inn, where Kennedy was staying, who could describe the Senator's appearance to ask the time at 2:25 a.m. There is Steve Hewitt, the ferryman, who can help to establish whether Markham spent the night in Edgartown or on Chappaquiddick...
...explore not only the immediate questions surrounding the fatal accident but also the larger discrepancies in Kennedy's public accounting of that night. The district attorney will call the ferrymen who carried Kennedy and his friends back and forth from Edgartown to Chappaquid dick, the owner of the Shiretown Inn, where the Senator was staying, and the local manager of the New England Telephone Co., whose records may disclose what calls the members of the Kennedy party had made, and precisely when...
...mind in a daze. It seems more likely that Markham and Gargan "borrowed" a small boat from a pier some 200 yds. from the ferry landing and rowed Kennedy to the Edgartown side. According to this theory, Markham and Kennedy walked to the Senator's room in the Shiretown Inn, a block from the waterfront, while Gargan returned the boat to Chappaquiddick and drove back to the cottage. If this version is true, the question remains why Kennedy would conceal the facts and invent the swimming story. One explanation might be that Teddy was making a rather misdirected effort...
