When was CE142 discovered in the 6th floor SN?

[Colin Crow]

I don’t recall seeing anything. I suppose it is feasible (but unlikely) that no one noticed it for a while. And the photo taken of the hulls from the direction of the SE corner, when Day and Studebaker first arrived on scene, would have been taken from a position basically right above the bag. Maybe this particular question just wasn’t asked of the detectives during their testimony?

You think?........Try Mooney, Fritz, Boyd, Hill, Craig for starters, there are more.

The bag was discovered before the rifle was discovered.

Taken from reporter Ken Biffle's notes  page 6 and 7:

"It didn't take the policemen long to find the cartridges by the ambush window. We all stood around staring at the brown wrapping paper found nearby. It was a reasonable conclusion that it held the rifle.
An officer in the northwest corner of the room yelled: "Over here!"
I ran over, dodging down narrow alleys in the stacks of packing crates. I was secure in the knowledge that my theory was materializing. They'd found the body of the gunman, I guessed"

When was that written? He's likely confused. Who else confirmed him there? Where can I find his sworn testimony?

Weeatherford also noted the sack

Weatherford: 11/23 affidavit

"....I came down to the 6th floor and while searching this floor, Deputy Luke Mooney said, "here are some shells". I went over to where he was and saw 3 expended rifle shells, and a sack on the floor and a partially eaten piece of chicken on top of one of the cartons which was used as a sort of barracade, advising Mooney to preserve the scene for the Crime Lab"
