Oswald put his package straight into Frazier's car, why?

[John Iacoletti]

It's not a matter of voting......Hosty wrote ....." Mr Truly had rifle & 2 others"......

Ask any elementary school student to explain that short sentence to you.......

Why would any elementary student (or Walt Cakebread) be an authority on what Hosty meant?

[John Iacoletti]

Personally I find it hard to believe he even stripped the thing. If I had made the bag a few inches  too short as some suggest I'd just improvise. A bag taped over the end for instance. It's possible he stripped it but the notion baffles me.

I agree.  It's just a contrived excuse for why the bag they supposedly found on the 6th floor could have been used to carry a rifle that was longer.

[John Iacoletti]

I agree. I also think he had the end (with the improvised bag closing or concealment of the muzzle) of the bag tucked into the gap between the seat cushion and seat back of the backseat of Frazier's car. That would make the bag seem to reach about the mid-line of the seat.

Oh brother....

The front of the house faces south.

Yet another thing that Bookhout got wrong in his report.

[John Iacoletti]

Did Randle actually say the bag was three feet long or was it also something Bookhaut assumed?

Or maybe she said "2 feet", and Bookhout mistakenly wrote down 3.

Mrs. RANDLE. And this goes this way, right? Do you want me to hold it?
Mr. BALL. Yes.
Mrs. RANDLE. About this.
Mr. BALL. Is that about right? That is 28 1/2 inches.
Mrs. RANDLE. I measured 27 last time.
Mr. BALL. You measured 27 once before?
Mrs. RANDLE. Yes, sir.

Randle speaks to a longer length here:

Mrs. RANDLE. He was carrying a package in a sort of a heavy brown bag, heavier than a grocery bag it looked to me. It was about, if I might measure, about this long, I suppose, and he carried it in his right hand, had the top sort of folded down and had a grip like this, and the bottom, he carried it this way, you know, and it almost touched the ground as he carried it.

Mr. BALL. Let me see. He carried it in his right hand, did he?

Mrs. RANDLE. That is right.

Mr. BALL. And where was his hand gripping the middle of the package?

Mrs. RANDLE. No, sir; the top with just a little bit sticking up. You know just like you grab something like that.

Mr. BALL. And he was grabbing it with his right hand at the top of the package and the package almost touched the ground?

Mrs. RANDLE. Yes, sir.

[John Iacoletti]

Randle speaks to a longer length here:

Impossible to know without understanding what "almost touched the ground" means or how his hand was situated at the time.

Thank you for posting the Hosty note that Billy Bob Brown said didn't exist......You clearly are too gullible and afraid to admit that the authorities were the killers.....   But let's let others decide if  Lee told them that He'd seen the carcano and two other rifles in the possession of Mr Truly on Wednesday November 20......

Why do you and Iacoletti like to attribute statements to other forum members which were never said?  I did not say the Hosty note didn't exist.  I said that you misinterpreted it.

You don't know how to read Hosty's notes; that is not my problem.
