OK one more time... Mr. BOONE - Captain Fritz picked it up by the strap, and it was removed from the place where it was.
Mr. BELIN. What else did you do in connection with the rifle at that particular time?
Mr. DAY. I picked the gun up by the wooden stock.
Mr. BALL - Did you see Captain Fritz remove anything from the gun?
Mr. WEITZMAN - No, sir; I did not.
Mr. FRITZ. I told them same thing, not to move it, not to touch it until we could get pictures, and as soon as Lieutenant Day could get over there he made pictures of that.
If Lt Day had his camera and this camera was a press camera [a Speed Graphic like seen at 2:50 in the clip?] He would have to set it down to pick up the rifle. The guy with the press camera had a hat and coat.
Walt points out that it is Lt Carl Day at 2:55...handling the rifle. Did he remove his hat and coat?
Also it is possible [and it looks like] that scene was re-created for the movie camera and for the sake of a television report.
Just see the way the guys are gathered around. Apparently, the mentioned live round had already been ejected. The man with the rifle practically stuck it in his own face.
Seymour Weitzman apparently fell asleep when Fritz did that ejecting because he didn't seem to see Fritz remove anything from the rifle.
At 3:40...I think that was for show also just because I think it was.
Sir... dust the rifle again so we can get it on film.
The entire 6th floor was filled with dust and no fingerprints were produced....except---
The mention of the chicken bone and soda bottle [5:00] being found at the window was broadcast around the world.
To this very day...Oswald is believed to have been eating this lunch while waiting for the motorcade.
They dusted the bottle and the chicken bone? And...I never heard?
According to one account of the many accounts...because Oswald's prints weren't found on them--the soda bottle and chicken bone were thrown away. The locations of this evidence were various.....
