Since Charles posted some WC testimony from
Bledsoe and her affidavit not taken
Until the next day of Nov/23/63 then she is not the initial cause to investigate Oswafd taking
a bus.
And McWatters never came forward until he was sought out by the investigators. So he is not the initial cause either, be investigating bus drivers.
Markams affidavit was on the same day and probably Fritz was aware of her 1:06 time sighting Oswald before he even had started his 3::15 interview of Oswald.
Whaley, Earlene Roberts , Bledsoe , Bowley, Burroughs , and Davis have not yet given a signed affidavit on Nov/22/63. So their times are probably not yet known by Fritz.
Therefore the initial construction of a time line would be limited to Markams 1:06 sighting and the fact Oswald managed to not get trapped in the TSBD building when Officer Barnett locked the front entrance as early as 12:33 by his own estimate.
So with only a time of departure for Oswald leaving TSBD at 12:33 and a 1:06 time of sighting of Oswald by Markam at 10th/Patton, and then arresting Oswald at approx 1:40, the timeline is very incomplete at the time of the 3:15 interrogation of Oswald by Fritz.
So why would Will Fritz at 3:15 write in his very early scribbles a note about a bus ride?
What are the possible causes to start searching out bus drivers and bus times?
Options:
1. Oswald told Fritz about taking a bus home.
2. A ticket was found in Oswald’s shirt that he was wearing at time of his arrest.
3. A ticket was found in a shirt found at Oswald’s boarding room.
4. If none of the above then for some reason Fritz just wrote a note about a bus ride and sent off officers to search out bus drivers operating a bus in the vicinity of TSBD on the day of Nov/22/63. And then a ticket was taken from McWatters pre punched roll of tickets to be used as evidence that Oswald was on a bus approx 12:40-12:43pm.
No.4 makes no sense whatsoever imo, because of the limited knowledge that Fritz had of just the 1:06 time of Markam and possibly a DOA 1:15 time from the hospital for Tippit.
Fritz just having an idea to scribble a note that Oswald took a bus and then Fritz initiating an investigation to find a bus driver and taking a ticket to use as evidence of Oswald on a bus at 12:43, makes it MORE difficult to reconcile with Markams sighting of Oswald at 1:06pm.
Somehow that seems to me to be an necessary act by Fritz especially if he is following the Hoover memo and had a call from LBJ that “Oswald is our man” Why would Fritz risk introducing complications early on day one by searching out bus drivers and finding a ticket from a pre punched roll and then claiming it was found in Oswald shirt, all of which would be severely compromising an early known witness (Markam ) affidavit of seeing Oswald at 1:06 shooting Tippit?
