Seymour Weitzman

I remember Weitzman as the Dallas police officer who identified the rifle found on the sixth floor as a Mauser, thereby flatly contradicting the official version.
So it came as a complete surprise to me to find on the bottom of page 131 of the book Kill Zone by Craig Roberts this little item of info:
Next in the rogues gallery was Bernard L Barker. Barker was E Howard Hunt's assistant in the months before the Bag of Pigs invasion, and had previously served as a Cuban secret policeman and double-agent under Castro. It was also Bernard Barker who was identified by Dallas police officer Seymour Weitzman, the first police officer to scale the fence on the Grassy Knoll on the scene of the Kennedy assassination, as the man who showed both himself and Patrolman J M Smith creditials identifying him as a Secret Service Agent.
I wasn't aware of this astounding fact. Does anyone know whether this has been corroborated by any other researcher?
Since Barker is a known associate of Hunt in connection with the Bay of
Pigs invasion AND the Watergate break-in, it seems entirely plausible that, if he were on the Grassy Knoll, his buddy Hunt would be one of the Three Tramps.
Anyone who has seen and worked the flimsy in the paperback copy of Weber and Canfield's Coup d' Etat in America knows that the elder tramp and Hunt's facial charactistics are remarkably similar.
Since it is well known that many groups were out to get Kennedy, the Hunt connection only means CIA involvement, and of course does not preclude other groups participation, including the James files theory with its Mafia implications.
