Pics of Hunt and Sturgis in the HSCA volumes. Are these okay to upload and include in the article? Raquel_Baranow (talk) 23:55, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Interesting

I find it a bit odd that the article makes a jump from "Three tramps were arrested . . . " right to the conspiracy theories. It seems to completely ignore the fact that the three of them had no record taken of their arrest or their interviews (If they really were interviewed) and seems to just slaughter the theories without actually offering anymore information. That seems very one-sided to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Terralips (talk • contribs) 02:32, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

The last section states:

In 1992, journalist Mary La Fontaine discovered the November 22, 1963 arrest records that the Dallas Police Department had released in 1989, which named the three men as Gus W. Abrams, Harold Doyle, and John F. Gedney.[20] According to the arrest reports, the three men were "taken off a boxcar in the railroad yards right after President Kennedy was shot", detained as "investigative prisoners", described as unemployed and passing through Dallas, then released four days later.[20]

You are welcome to edit the article directly if you think it is missing something. Location (talk) 00:18, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

There were 12 men arrested in the area boxcars. There is zero connection between these three men in the photo, who according to the arresting officer were relesased a few hours later, with the named three homeless men who were jailed for a week. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.185.19.114 (talk) 20:54, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Add "The" to the article title?

Should this article be called "The three tramps" instead of "Three tramps"? This is about a specific group of three people, and would ordinarily be preceded by "the" in running text. See WP:THE. —BarrelProof (talk) 22:19, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

Clean cut?

In the article it says this:

Photographs of the three at the time of their arrest have fueled speculation as to the identities of the three "tramps", as they appeared to be well-dressed and clean-shaven, seemingly unlikely for hobos riding the rails.

By the account cited in the article (via Vince B's book) they cleaned up at a mission (the night before) prior to their arrest. No big mystery.

And apparently they still smelled pretty strong because in one of the pics of them being hauled in.....you can see a woman covering her nose.Rja13ww33 (talk) 22:52, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
