What do those two tell you about who was authorized to receive mail at PO Box 2915 in Dallas?

What do those two tell you about who was authorized to receive mail at PO Box 2915 in Dallas?

Absolutely nothing.

Were those two letters really received at the P.O. box or are they merely addressed to it?

Actually Tim,

If I remember correctly, Seaport had only received a 10 dollar payment when the revolver was ordered and shipped the weapon c.o.d. for the remaining balance of something like 19 dollar.

If the outstanding balance was paid upon receipt of the weapon, shouldn't there be any paperwork for that?
At least something like a confirmation for the transfer of the money to Seaport....

I don't know if there should be paperwork for it or not. Here is what we have though:





Mr. BALL. Is there anything in your files which shows that the Railway Express did remit to you the $19.95?
Mr. MICHAELIS. The fact that the exhibit number--may I see this green one?
Mr. BALL. Five.
Mr. MICHAELIS. Was attached to the red copy of the invoice.
Mr. BALL. Red copy of the invoice being----
Mr. MICHAELIS. No; was attached to the red copy of the invoice, exhibit number----
Mr. BALL. Two.
Mr. MICHAELIS. Indicates that the money was received.

So again (just like with Klein's) no actual paperwork available to show the payment was received...

All we have is, yet another, person confirming that a document "indicates that the money was received"

Amazing, when I receive a package (even one without c.o.d.) I always have to sign for receipt, but perhaps they did things differently in Dallas in those days....

It's part of an FBI report.

That tells you nothing about who was authorized to receive mail at PO Box 2915 in Dallas.  And the FPFC card doesn't relate to PO boxes at all.

It's part of an FBI report.

How does that answer my question?

You CTs are so predictable, in court I'd present the established predictable behaviour of Oswald's New Orleans Post Office application with AJ Hidell written in Oswald's handwriting and you'd present...... nothing.

In what court? The one in your imagination or a real one?

Btw.. are you a lawyer now?

Do you realize how difficult it is to remove all your prints from a MC after you have disassembled/reassembled and fired, then ditched it? Impossible! And Shirley, Oswald realized that a printless  rifle would still lead back to him, regardless of whether they snuck a post-mortem palm print on the stock.

Which leads us to why would military marksman Oswald, who knew a thing or 2 about rifles, keep a useless scope on the MC when he knew he would have to use the iron sights? Especially, if he smuggled it disassembled into the TSBD in a too short paper bag? If you counter with, Oswald didn't know the scope was useless because he hadn't shot the rifle before, then you have to explain how phenomenal it was that a rusty marksman pulled off 2 for 3 hits in 10 secs on a moving target with a wonky scope?

Oswald must have looked thru the scope, lined up JFK's head and hit Tague with a ricochet off the pavement. He must have noticed the small dust cloud from the 1st shot and re-calibrated his aim thru the scope for the MB shot, and what a shot it was. 7 wounds and very close to a head shot, all after bolting in the next round and re-aiming thru the wonky scope.

It took 3 shims to realign the scope on the MC before the FBI could even hit the target. The scope was useless and the big question is whether Oswald knew this and used the iron sights instead. And if Oswald knew the scope was useless, then why did he keep it on the gun when he smuggled its parts into the TSBD?

Answer: The scope was left on the gun (which was never disassembled/reassembled BTW) because the MC that was planted on the 6th floor needed to match the backyard photos of Oswald holding it. Sheep dipping 101. Otherwise, there is no way in hell that Oswald could have not left a single print on the stock, barrel, bolt, trigger, clip and ammo. Impossible.

Thanks for clearing that all up for us

Emboldening words is not shouting. Putting words in "upper case" is shouting. Please try to keep up, Chappers.

You mean like this, from Ernie?

YOUR BOX IS OTHERWISE POSITIONED THEN THE BOX IN THE REAL DILLARD PHOTO,........

And since all-caps are banned from this forum, one could argue that all-bolded text becomes the go-to formatting (for conveying yelling) by default.

IMO, all-caps plus bolding, as in Ernie's sample above (combined with his automatic insults to all LNers who dare disagree with him) are tantamount to screaming

Your apology for being wrong accepted.
