Buell Wesley Frazier

[Bill Chapman]

What is also known is that Randle never stated that size whenever we heard from her directly?...

Smart lady...

He said. She said. People think the assassination included a conspiracy. People think Oswald the killer. Buell is forever remembered as the driver of the car that delivered Oswald to work.

BSing about the bag size would be the smart move.

I'm 6' tall. I can hold a 35" pole by my side, grasped as described by Randle. The bottom of the pole reaches to just above my ankle bone. Including my shoes, that leaves 5" to the ground. Knock 3.5" off my height and one finds a match for the Randle near-the-ground description. One is left with the possibility of the package carrying a broken-down, to a 34.8" length, Mannlicher Carcano.

I'm the same height as Oswald and I can hold  a 27" stick between my armpit and my cupped hand. When holding it the bottom of the stick  is about four inches above the ground.

Is 4" 'almost touching the ground' to you? Not to me.

Randle: "He was carrying a package in a sort of a heavy brown bag, heavier than a grocery bag it looked to me. It was about, if I might measure, about this long, I suppose, and he carried it in his right hand, had the top sort of folded down and had a grip like this, and the bottom, he carried it this way, you know, and it almost touched the ground as he carried it."

Are you sure Ray? I'm 6'2" and a 27" stick goes from my armpit down past my cupped hand?

What a pity we don't have photos or drawing to show what she meant. Seems  that, like me, you disbelieve what she said. Difference is I believe Linnie and Buell were lying about the bag. You seem to believe that they both  saw the bag but don't believe their estimates of the size.

Tell you what, I'll try to post a photo tomorrow. Too busy to sort it tonight.

Just thought on, though, you probably won't think that the stick is 27", and that I'm cheating. You'll just have to take my word for it. I've actually tried this before so I'm not inventing it.
