The preponderance of the evidence

[John Iacoletti]

No the landlady obviously did it. Not the butler.

I'll take that as a "no".

[Walt Cakebread]

I'll take that as a "no".

Mr Collins doesn't like evidence that is contrary to the fairy tale that he embraces......

It's obvious that it was NOT  Lee Oswald who was prevaricating ....but it was Will Fritz who was lying. 

[Charles Collins]

I'll take that as a "no".

Mr. BALL. Did he tell you what his name was?
Mrs. JOHNSON. O.H. L-e-e [spelling].
Mr. BALL. Did he sign anything with that name?
Mrs. JOHNSON. Yes, sir; I have it in my purse.
Mr. BALL. May I see it?
Mrs. JOHNSON. I will be glad to--I don't want you to keep it. I want you to--I brought it for your information. I knew you was going to ask that.
Mr. BALL. Now, is this in his handwriting?
Mrs. JOHNSON. This "O. H. Lee" is in his handwriting and this other is in the housekeeper's handwriting--Mrs. Roberts.

[Martin Weidmann]

Oh, so you think his name really was O.H. Lee? And that he didn?t lie to his landlady about his name?

First of all, you don't know what I think, so stop assuming that you do. I'm supposed to be the one who jumps to conclusions, remember?

Secondly, you claimed LHO was a habitual liar. Even if he gave his name to his landlady as O.H. Lee, how in the world does that make him a habitual liar?
You are rushing to judgement based upon a single story that was told by Earlene Roberts who herself was described as (and I paraphrase) a known liar by her employer!

So much for looking at the evidence with an open mind!

[Rob Caprio]

You apparently don?t have an open mind. Nothing that I could say is likely to alter your closed and made up opinion. I respect your opinion but disagree.

LNers always say this because they have no supporting evidence. For if they did have it then it wouldn't matter if us CTers accepted it or not.

You questioned my statement and I backed it up with credible evidence. Not only did he lie to the landlady, he lied to Fritz about his lie. You can choose to believe otherwise. I really don?t care.

There's no argument about the name by which Lee was registered at the rooming house.....  We have a he said ...she said situation....   Neither you nor I can know exactly how Lee Oswald came to be registered as Mr O.H.Lee, at the rooming house but that's not the point....  You stated that Lee lied about how he came to be registered and boldly stayed that he was a liar.   I've pointed out that Lee clearly told the police that he was registered as OH. Lee at the rooming house at 1026 N Beckley...
The police were questioning him and he told them the truth....Mrs Roberts was of no consequence at the time that he registered....And I'm sure you know that it's very common for folks to register under a alias when they check in at a motel, or hotel....

yeah.....no.



- Does that look like any of the other purported handwriting of Oswald?

- This is supposed to be a "register"?  It looks like somebody keeping track of rent payments.

- Why in the world would this be stamped "top secret"?
