This is how the rifle was gotten into the building

[Ross Lidell]

Mrs Hall ESTIMATED the package was about 5 feet long and 6 inches wide.....

ESTIMATED: Like Buell Frazier and Linnie May Randle ESTIMATED Oswald's "Friday morning package" to be 2 feet give or take a few inches. That means as much as 27 inches. The shortest the package could have been (if it contained Oswald's Carcano rifle) was 35 inches. When disassembled, the longest part was the wooden stock which was 34.8 inches long. A discrepancy of 8 inches is accounted for by the fact that Randle and Frazier did not "measure" Oswald's package: they ESTIMATED its length.

So let's have no more of that claim: The package that Randle and Frazier saw Oswald carry on the morning of 22 November 1963 was "too short" to contain the Carcano rifle.

And that I believe is CHECKMATE.

Cool your jets, Mr Smith-------it's not my fault you can't explain away the document! 
Now! Perhaps you could tell us where the WC exhibit numbers 275 & 276 came from?

"Cool your jets, Mr Smith"
Nah....Runs on rubber bands---Didn't you know?

You are funny ... but you should never play chess.

Frazier said Oswald carried the package under his armpit and in his cupped hand, which makes it about as long as Oswald's arm and thus impossible to have been long enough to conceal a broken down MC rifle.

So why don't you stop cherry picking the evidence?

[Jerry Freeman]

A 5 or 6 foot long package!!! That's too long for a 40 inch Carcano rifle.

Curious....why is it too long? Did it have to be exactly 40 inches and no more?

Frazier did not "measure" Oswald's package

It was supposedly 3 feet from him laying on the car seat...

You are funny....Frazier said Oswald carried the package under his armpit and in his cupped hand, which makes it about as long as Oswald's arm and thus impossible to have been long enough to conceal a broken down MC rifle. So why don't you stop cherry picking the evidence?

Do you really and truly think he is funny?

There are two (2) ways for the package to be carried "in his cupped hand" and "under his armpit".

I think you're confused. You meant to imply "IN" his armpit; which would mean the package was snug in that recess where the top of the arm meets the torso. That's only one (1) way the package could be carried "under the armpit": with the package length perpendicular to the ground.

The second way is most likely how Oswald carried his "Carcano" package. Yes, the bottom of the package rested in Oswald's cupped right hand. The package was held parallel to the body but not perpendicular to the ground. The package was angled forward slightly protruding in front of Oswald's body. To stabilize the package when walking: Oswald placed his left arm across his chest holding the package "towards its top" with his left hand. This would permit the package to be obscured by Oswald's neck and face: It would not be long enough to block his eyesight. This perfectly reasonable (and possible) option explains why Frazier--looking from behind--did not see the top of the 35" long package which extended above Oswald's shoulder line. It explains why Frazier could have thought the top of the package was "in" Oswald's armpit.

And that I believe "is" CHECKMATE.

 And that I believe "is" CHECKMATE.

I take it back...MW is correct---You are funny.

The above is the concoction of an irrational brain.....

What an idiotic reply.

Your Ad hominem attack reveals your desperation to reply: Though you have nothing of substance to include in your attempted rebuttal.

Have you seen Jerry Organ's splendid graphic that is a representation of how Lee Harvey Oswald could have carried the long package to the Book Depository? That convinced me it's eminently plausible that Oswald could have carried the package as described above.
