Mr. BALL. About how long would you think the package would be, just measure it right on there.
Mrs. RANDLE. I would say about like this.
Mr. BALL. You mean from here to here?
Mrs. RANDLE. Yes, sir; with that folded down with this much for him to grip in his hand.
Mr. BALL. This package is about the span of my hand, say 8 inches, is that right? He would have about this much to grip?
Mrs. RANDLE. What I remember seeing is about this long, sir, as I told you it was folded down so it could have been this long.
Mr. BALL. I see. You figure about 2 feet long, is that right?
Mrs. RANDLE. A little bit more.
Mr. BALL. A little more than 2 feet.


I am 6 feet 3 inches tall. My leg, measured from my hip is 3 feet 1 inch long.
Oswald was 5 feet 8 inches tall. If he carried the parcel next to his leg (as Randle said) there is no way it could have been 3 feet 6 inches

No one has to engage in an endless, pedantic exercise to tortuously interpret the generic words of witnesses to reconstruct the bag.  That is rabbit hole nonsense with no exit ramp. This is simple.  The bag exists.  It was found. It has Oswald's prints on it.  It was measured to determine its exact size.  There is no reason to speculate.

Wrong! A bag exists. Several officers claim to have found it, after a number of officers failed to see it in the sniper's nest. There is not a shred of evidence that this bag ever left the TSBD!

And the record shows that Frazier was shown that bag while he was being polygraphed in the evening hours of 11/22/63. Frazier not only failed to identify the bag but also added that the bag Oswald had carried was "definitely a thin, flimsy sack like the one purchased in a dime store".

A memo from James Anderton to SAC Dallas, dated 11/29/63, reveals the desperation of Lt. Day after Frazier failed to identify the heavy bag found at the TSBD. Anderton writes;

"Lt. Day states that he and other officers have surmised that Oswald, by dismantling the rifle, could have placed it in the thick brown sack folder over, and then placed the entire package in the flimsy paper sack"


The obvious question is why Day was so desperate to explain the discrepancy between the heavy bag allegedly found on the 6th floor of the TSBD and the flimsy bag Frazier had seen that he would come up with this pathetic theory. Even more so, if he really had found Oswald's prints on the heavy bag and the MC rifle......

Exactly Richard.

Besides the Mountain of physical evidence let's look at Oswald's actions and/or lies.

1) Oswald asks Frazier to take him to Irving to get "curtain rods".

So automatically I knew it wasn't Friday, I come to think it wasn't Friday and I said, "Why are you going home today?"
And he says, "I am going home to get some curtain rods." He said, "You know, put in an apartment."
He wanted to hang up some curtains and I said, "Very well."

2) Oswald breaks his usual routine and goes to Irving on a Thursday which just happens to be the day before the Presidential visit, what a coincidence!

8} Oswald upon reaching Frazier's house immediately hides the "curtain rods" in Frazier's car.

10) Oswald is 50 feet ahead of Frazier when entering the Texas School Book Depository, another first.
11) Oswald leaves the Depository not at the start or end of lunch but after about 3 minutes from when the President is assassinated, roughly the time it takes to walk from the 6th floor, be confronted, buy a coke and then exit on the ground floor.
12) Oswald never asks permission to leave work by his immediate superior Shelley, in fact Shelley testifies that he never sees Oswald after 12PM.
