Lee Oswald The Cop Killer

[Bill Brown]

At the Tippit shooting scene, four shell casings were found.  Two of these were Remington-Peters and two were Winchester-Westerns.

Of the four bullets removed from Tippit's body, one was Remington-Peters and three were Winchester-Westerns.

There is a missing Winchester-Western shell and a missing Remington-Peters bullet.

Possible scenario:

It very well could be that Oswald fired five shots (instead of only the four which hit Tippit).  These five shots were two Remington-Peters and three Winchester-Westerns.  One Remington-Peters bullet was never found and one Winchester-Western shell was never found.

Caught on tape...

550/2 (Sgt. G.L. Hill)

The shells at the scene indicate that the suspect is armed with an automatic 38, rather than a pistol.

Earlier on tape...

221 (Ptm. H.W. Summers)

Might can give you some additional information. I got an eye-ball witness to the get-away man. That suspect in this shooting is a white male, twenty-seven, five feet eleven, a hundred sixty-five, black wavy hair, fair complected, wearing a light grey Eisenhower-type jacket, dark trousers and a white shirt, and (. . . ?). Last seen running on the north side of the street from Patton, on Jefferson, on East Jefferson. And he was apparently armed with a 32 dark-finish automatic pistol which he had in his right hand.

Mistakes happen.  Right?

If the killer was using an automatic weapon, why weren't the shells found near the patrol car, where the killer was standing when he fired the shots... instead of about one hundred feet away over at the corner?

How come something is a 'mistake' only when it contradicts the official story?

[Bill Brown]

Not when they are stamped AUTO.

You mean those shells that Poe, Barnes, Dhority and Doughty could not identify under oath?

Not when they are stamped AUTO.

Okay.  So now all you have to do is show that these shells were stamped AUTO.

You mean those shells that Poe, Barnes, Dhority and Doughty could not identify under oath?

You better check again.  Odum showed the shells to Doughty and Dhority.  Dhority positively identified the shell he received from Virginia Davis.  Doughty positively identified the shell he received from Barbara Davis.  Odum also showed the shells to Barnes.  Barnes identified his marks on the other two shells.  Poe probably never placed his marks on the shells in the first place.

The real true physical evidence proves that a mistake was made when Hill radioed in that the shells found at the scene indicated that the gunman was armed with an automatic weapon.

The real true physical evidence proves that a mistake was made when Callaway told Patrolman Summers that the killer was armed with a dark-finish automatic pistol.

The real true physical evidence are the shells found at the scene.  These shells, all four of them, were not from an automatic weapon.  Hill even clearly admitted his mistake later, once he was more clear on the details surrounding the finding of the shells.  Callaway simply made a mistake in identifying a revolver as an automatic pistol.  He got the key points right, that the man was indeed Oswald and that Oswald was wearing a light Eisenhower-type jacket.

Callaway was familiar with hand guns ( as he testified) so he would recognize a gun......But he was not familiar with Lee Oswald .....so there's no way he could identify the man with the dark- finish automatic pistol as Lee Oswald.

How could the ambulance arrive at the SAME TIME it supposedly received the call?

Another thing RC.....
There never was any statement or testimony before the commission from the ambulance guys ..ambulance driver Clayton J. Butler, Jr. and assistant Eddie Kinsley. [At least none I ever read]
Kinsley was interviewed years later by journalists.
About the instant dispatch...I guess someone used a cell phone

By "two types of bullets" you mean made by different manufacturers; Winchester-Western and Remington-Peters. When Oswald was arrested in the Texas Theatre, his revolver contained six cartridges in it. Three of those cartridges were manufactured by Winchester-Western. The other three were manufactured by Remington-Peters.

 Not the question I was asked by Bill Brown
