LHO's shirt

[Jerry Freeman]

Mary Bledsoe said she saw a hole in the right elbow of the [supposed] shirt when Oswald [supposedly] boarded her bus.
So...where is it? I don't see it.

Bledsoe was suffering from Alzheimers ...   She saw the hole in the elbow when the FBI brought the shirt out to her house....She admits that in her testimony.

Indeed. Bledsoe did not mention the hole in the elbow until her testimony, which is strange because she said that was the way she could identify the shirt

Right...after they tore a hole in the right elbow----

No hole after arrest----

It's really a pity that Mary Bledsoes testimony is worthless.    Because she simply is unbelievable.

She probably was on a bus after the shooting....  But by her own words it was NOT  Cecil Mc Watter's bus.

She said that she saw the barricade tapes at the TSBD when the bus on which she was riding passed through the intersection of Houston  & Elm.   Those barricade tapes were erected at about 1:00Pm.   ...Therefore IF Lee had been on that bus he would have departed around 12:50  and he couldn't have been in Whaley's cab.   I firmly believe that Lee was NOT the young man in Whaley's cab, Because he told the interrogators that he paid the cabbie 85 cents ....Whereas Whaley's passenger's fare was 95 cents and that passenger paid ONE DOLLAR...    If Lee had paid the cabbie one dollar he definitely would not have said that he paid 85 cents.

 Oswald's Shirt

Unfortunately some of the picture links are gone.
I found this there...

A 12-1 article in the Washington Star by Jerry O'Leary, a writer more than friendly with the FBI's Deke DeLoach, and someone upon whom the FBI regularly relies to get their stories before the public, declares: "PIECE OF OSWALD'S SHIRT FOUND SNAGGED IN RIFLE." It then goes on to claim "A fragment of Lee Harvey Oswald's shirt was snagged in the rifle that killed President John F. Kennedy, the FBI report of the assassination states. Disclosure of this evidence against the 24 year-old Oswald, himself slain two days after Mr. Kennedy's death, is regarded as one of the most solid pieces of evidence of his guilt. Officials said wisps of brown shirt material were caught in metal parts of the 6.5 mm Italian-made carbine found on the fifth floor of the Texas School Book Depository Building a few minutes after the fatal shots were fired on November 22. When Oswald was arrested two hours later, he was wearing a brown shirt of the same material. Oswald claimed he had changed his shirt in his rooming house after leaving the assassination area, but this proved to be untrue. FBI Crime Lab technicians determined by microscopic and other scientific means that the fragment of shirt material came from the shirt the ex-Marine was wearing."

What it did prove is that Oswald's shirt was really queering the entire scene for the FBI.
Throwing around fake news doesn't work...ultimately.

Jerry this is far more egregious than simply "throwing around fake news"   This story presented to the pissant public by the vaunted FBI amounts to criminal liable. 

Now nearly 60 years later we are learning the truth, and the reason for that is we trusted and  believed the bastards.

You're right Jerry....There was no hole in the right elbow of the arrest shirt when Lee was brought into the police station..

And the arrest shirt is NOT the shirt that Lee was wearing at the TSBD at the time of the murder of JFK.
