No liar, lies 100% of the time..... In the overall scheme of things the DPD were "damned liars"..... And some were more prolific liars than others....Two of the biggest liars were Captain Will Fritz, and Detective John Carl Day......
What about Roger Craig? Was he a damned liar too? Why would a conspirator lie about reading "7.65 Mauser" off the barrel of the rifle? He was obviously not "in on it" so why do you think he was lying?
If Craig was telling the truth, then there were 2 rifles and Alyea didn't film the Mauser. Otherwise, if ANY shots came from the SN then it was NOT from the Carcano because that was the patsy rifle that was pre-planted as were the hulls. Or do you still believe that the MC was used in the assassination?
