Ok ok ok, we get it you don't believe Whaley took Oswald from "A" to "B" and you think Oswald took another cab from "A" to "B", now what?

This is an interesting question??
Did Fritz send his officers out to find the cab driver who had been bragging to his fellow cabbies about how he had transported the assassin in his cab after the assassination. Fritz was looking for the cabbie would tell them that he had transported Lee Oswald to Oak Cliff the afternoon of 11-22-63?? Fritz reported that ( page 604 WR) One of the officers had told me that a cab driver William Wayne Whaley, THOUGHT he had recognized Oswald's picture as the man who had gotten in his cab near the bus station and rode to Beckley Ave. I asked Oswald if he had ridden in a cab that day, and he said
"yes, did ride in the cab. The bus I got on where I work got into heavy traffic and was traveling too slow, and I got off and caught a cab." I asked him about his conversation with the cab driver, and he said he remembered that when he got into the cab a lady came up who also wanted a cab , and he told Oswald to tell the lady to "take another cab" xxxxx irrelevant information omitted. xxxxx During this conversation he told me he reached home by cab and CHANGED BOTH HIS SHIRT AND TROUSERS before going to the show.
HE SAID THAT HIS CAB FARE WAS 85 CENTS ( notice that Fritz did not say "approximately 85 cents in this report)
There can be no doubt that Whaley's story is just plain old BS.... Whaley apparently had in fact transported a young man to Oakcliff that afternoon, but it could not have been Lee Oswald. He said that he picked up the man at 12:30 , and it is a known fact that Lee Oswald was still at the TSBD at 12:30. But how did he know that Lee had in fact taken a cab from the Greyhound depot to Zangs and Beckley? Simple....He talked to the cabbie who did in fact transport Lee Oswald from the Greyhound taxi stand to Oak Cliff... He simply inserted himself into the story.
