Meeting Warren Caster - by Rick Caster

In the building, on his way back to his office, Warren met his friend Roy Truly, the TSBD Superintendent, and he showed the two rifles to Mr Truly, who picked up the larger rifle (the Mauser). Also present at this time while the guns were being examined were William Shelley, Manager of the Distribution Department, and a small group of employees, one of whom, Warren recalled, was Lee Harvey Oswald. After approximately ten minutes of handling and studying  the rifles, the group broke up and Warren replaced the weapons in their boxes. He took them to his office where they remained until 4 o’clock when he put them into the boot of his car and drove home.

As we may recall...Oswald's name was not even mentioned by anyone in Warren Caster's WC testimony.

That's true, ....but......   Lee Oswald told the interrogators that he'd see this rifle ( the carcano) and two other rifles  outside  Mr Truly's office at lunchtime on Wednesday November 20, 1963.    So I believe that Lee was there....  He may not have been part of the group, and he could have been watching from the distance, but he definitely saw the rifles.....( and he probably heard remarks like "Boy, I'd like to get these sights on that SOB JFK" ) Caster was good friends with HL Hunt the billionaire oilman who hated JFK. and Hunt often visited Caster in the TSBD.. )  If we could know the truth  I would not be surprised  If I were to learn that after seeing the rifles,  Lee Oswald took a note to Hosty at the FBI office in an effort to get Hosty to contact him. 

PS..... If Lee recognized the Carcano as being like the one that he and De Mohrenschildt had ordered from Kleins he may have wanted to verify that the carcano was still in the blanket and that might have been his reason for the trip to Irving on Thursday afternoon.

The spent shells were found by Luke Mooney at about 1:05 pm.....  Roger was NOT on the sixth floor at that time....He arrived with the flashlights from the Sheriff's
office at around 1:15 / 1:20  ......

Its not really possible to determine where people were at any given time with a degree of certainty. Dealey Plaza is a very small area so someone could move around quiet quickly from one spot to the next. This is especially so while running around which they would have been doing given the chaotic circumstances in the plaza at that moment in time.

The point is:...Roger Craig said that he was there with Luke Mooney when Mooney spotted the spent shells.    So I ask you ; Was Roger Craig there with Mooney when Mooney spotted the shells.?

You really think it is "very small"? How many times have you been?
At any rate...it was an excellent location for an assassination.

Craig kept changing his story so you have to listen to other people as to what Craig was doing that day rather than listening to Craig himself.

IOW...Roger Craig was a liar.....  I totally agree with that conclusion.

If Roger had been with Mooney at the time (1:06)  Mooney discovered the spent shells...then he could not have been on the street to hear the citizen using Tippi's radio.

The Primary lie that Roger Craig invented was his lie about seeing "stamped right there on the barrel was ----7.65 Mauser"

How do you know this? Are were there no rifles with "7.65 Mauser" stamped on the barrel? And don't cite the Alyea film as your proof, because it isn't. And who wasn't a liar? Even the non-conspirators lied to recant their stories after they realized they were being swept up in a conspiracy and their lives were in danger. Wouldn't YOU lie?

ps. I wonder if "7.65 Mauser" was stamped on the rifle that Fritz handed Weitzman. What happened to that Mauser?
