Did Oswald Go To Mexico City?

[Jerry Freeman]

Thanks Jerry,.... So you think that Jane Edna Hoover was alluding to Lee carrying the carcano around when he said " The gun thing , of course, is a definite trend"

No...as i mentioned---

The trend being...It is pretty much what a suspect would be expected to say [denying ownership of a weapon]

Yer right.... And that's why it is SOP for the police to confront the suspect with the murder weapon.....They know that no matter whether guilty or innocent the man will deny ownership of the weapon....but the beads of sweat and other indications will reveal the truth.   A guilty man generally gives himself away by his reaction .

This is one of the major reasons that I believe Lee Oswald was innocent....   They confronted him with that carcano, and rather than say that he had never seen it before , he told them that he had seen it the day before yesterday outside Mr Truly's office.  That must have been a shock to  the interrogators.....

“Oswald stated that he did not own any rifle. He advised that he saw a rifle day before yesterday at the Texas School Book Depository which Mr. Truly and two other gentlemen had in their possession and were looking at.“

He advised that he saw a rifle day before yesterday at the Texas School Book Depository which Mr. Truly and two other gentlemen had in their possession and were looking at.“  

N, that's not correct .......  We know for a FACT that Warren Caster testified that he had more than one rifle outside Mr Truly's office on the 1st floor of the TSBD.

And the very first entry in FBI agent James Hosty's scribbled notes which he took during the interrogation of Lee Oswald says :....
Day before yesterday Mr Truly had ( this) rifle and two other ( rifles)  outside of his office on he first floor of the building.

[John Iacoletti]

N, that's not correct .......  We know for a FACT that Warren Caster testified that he had more than one rifle outside Mr Truly's off on the 1st floor of the TSBD.

Yes, he said he had two rifles — a Remington, single-shot, .22 rifle, and a .30-06 sporterized Mauser — not 3 rifles.

Incidentally....MAUSER. What a coinkydink.

Yes, I agree this is suspicious .....  I'm compelled to speculate that Mr Caster's mauser may have been the rifle that was presented to Weitzman when he was being interviewed by FBI agent A1bert Sawyer late Friday afternoon......

From an earlier thread......

Glancing through the the FBI's Commission documents ...I can [so far] only find people that they had  located who didn't see Oswald during the respective Mexico travel times and itinerary...

On and on.
So far, one poster claims that two [nameless] Russians 'saw' Oswald in Mexico City and provides no link to this claim.

[Gerry Down]

but the gun thing, of course, is a definite trend.

Anybody want to venture a guess about what J. Edna was referring to when he said "the gun thing is a definite trend"

He's saying that everything comes back to the gun and Oswald being the owner of it. Even when mysterious things like Oswald not being in Mexico City possibly points to someone setting Oswald up, the ownership of the rifle keeps pointing the way towards Oswald being the gunman.
