And! Lest there be any doubt that "the rifle" referred to in the document refers to a rifle found in the Depository, let us look at the paragraph before-------------
"THE GUN" = "THE RIFLE"
Mr Oswald is telling Captain Fritz he saw Mr Truly handling a Mauser rifle two days before the assassination, and is evidently relating this rifle to a rifle that has been found at the scene of the crime.
But how does Mr Oswald know to relate a Mauser rifle to a rifle found at the scene of the crime if he is not being shown a Mauser rifle and told it was found at the scene of the crime?
Now if only we had some evidence that a Mauser was found at the scene of the crime...................
Mr Oswald is telling Captain Fritz he saw Mr Truly handling a Mauser rifle two days before the assassination, and is evidently relating this rifle to a rifle that has been found at the scene of the crime.No that's not correct!....
Mr Oswald is telling Captain Fritz he saw Mr Truly handling a CARCANO rifle two days before the assassination, and is evidently relating this rifle to a rifle that has been found at the scene of the crime.[
When Fritz showed Lee the
carcano from the sixth floor and asked him if he'd ever seen it before... Lee Replied that he'd seen it and two other rifles outside Mr Truly's office on the first floor of the TSBD.
I recently learned that Roy Truly was not familiar with guns and didn't know how to handle a rifle. Whereas Lee had been trained in the Marine Corps ..... Whoever left the prints on the Carcano magazine did NOT know how to handle a rifle. You'll notice in the BY photos Lee is holding the carcano at the WOODEN foregrip. I seriously doubt that Lee would have grabbed the rifle at the magazine. Whoever left the prints there ....was an ignoramus who would have been doing extra push ups ....
Any ex GI can tell you that you DO NOT handle a rifle by the metal parts.... ( because sweat can cause rust and corrosion) r
