From CE 2008:
“The action of OSWALD walking across Westbrook Street was re-enacted by Special Agent MC NEELY, carrying the sack with three scraps of wood in it to simulate weight until Mrs. RANDLE designated the proper path and the proper length of the sack as seen by her on November 22, 1963. The replica was shortened by folding the open top down to reach the desired length. Then, in accordance with Mrs. RANDLE's observations, Special Agent MC NEELY grasped the top of this sack with his hand, much like a right handed batter would pick up a baseball bat when approaching the plate. When the proper length of the sack was reached according to Mrs. RANDLE's estimate, it was measured and found to be 27 inches long.”
