The Bus Stop Farce

Lee said that the shirt he took off and left in his dresser drawer at the rooming house had a BUTTON DOWN COLLAR .....And the shirt that Detective Potts found in a dresser drawer in Lee's room had a BUTTON DOWN COLLAR... Does the shirt in the photo have a BUTTON DOWN COLLAR?

What's your point, Walt?

The shirt in the photograph is CE 150, the shirt Oswald was wearing when he was arrested.

It is not the button down collar shirt (CE 151) that he was wearing at the TSBD prior to the assassination.

Thank you Martin,    IF  ( I repeat IF)   That is the arrest shirt....Then someone ripped the right sleeve at the elbow , because there was NO HOLE in the sleeve when Lee was "escorted" in hand cuffs into the police station at about 2:30 that afternoon....

Yes, this is the arrest shirt. There's no doubt about that, but as I have already said, I've looked at as many photos of Oswald wearing the shirt after his arrest (until Friday evening) I could find and none of them show a hole in the sleeve.

Excellent.... So we ae in harmony, in regard to the hole in the elbow of the arrest shirt....

Incidentally.....Please examine the photos of "Lee Harvey Oswald " in custody after his arrest..... Because some of them ar the conspirators photos which show an IMPOSTER wearing the shirt while being escorted by a Detective in a white Stetson...

Bledsoe indicated that the shirt Oswald was wearing on the bus just after the assassination had the hole in it and the bus transfer was found in the pocket of that shirt.  So the arrest shirt is most likely the same one that he had on that morning.  Regardless, if the fibers come from Oswald's shirt - even if you don't think it was he one he wore that morning - it still links him to the rifle.  In that scenario, they just got on his rifle at some earlier time.  The importance is that - like all evidence in this case - it points to Oswald.  But the shirt fibers are just a cherry on top of Oswald's sundae of guilt.  He left his rifle at the murder scene.  He lied about owing the rifle and offered no explanation for it to have been found in the TSBD.  He fled the scene.  Murdered a cop within an hour. That cooks his goose a thousand times over without the fibers.  All the other evidence against him just confirms the obvious.

When it gets right down to the real nitty-gritty, Oswald shot Tippit and probably shot Kennedy.

Oswald was wearing the shirt when he was arrested. It was sent to Washington around midnight that same day.
I have looked at all the photos I could find of Oswald wearing the shirt between those times and there isn't one that shows the hole that Bledsoe claimed to have seen on the bus.

So, what happened?

'So what happened?'
>>> Oswald shot Tippit and probably shot Kennedy

Hey, a LN who can't explain a contradiction between the actual evidence and a claim of a WC witness.... Now, where have I seen that before?

Yes, some kook doesn't see the hole in a grainy B&W film or picture and his conclusion is that it was not there!  And by implication everyone is a liar or involved in a conspiracy to frame Oswald even though this contrarian refuses to admit he is a CTer.  Wow.   I've seen the shirt in person.  And the hole is difficult to notice.
