I'd be willing to bet that their partial prints ARE on the note. Just not COMPLETE enough prints to be positively identified as theirs. You probably know more about it than I do. Were there any "partial" prints found on the note which were deemed useless for identification purposes? (I'll bet there were.)

But the only alternative is to call Marina a bald-faced xxxx when it comes to the topic of the Walker note. Do you want to go down that path?

Tommy, It seems to be a common misconception among CTers that every time a person handles a piece of paper, that person MUST leave identifiable fingerprints behind. That's just flat-out wrong. And I find it interesting that so many people around these parts are so good at asking questions, but they refuse to answer any. (Such as the two I just asked Tommy.) ~shrug~

Tommy G., Do you think Oswald wrote the Walker note? And do you think LHO shot at Walker?

Keep talking, Bob. And I'll keep laughing. It's all you deserve. Nothing you could say regarding this bullet matter could possibly matter less in the long run. You're a conspiracy hobbyist. Nothing more.

But what about all the other "firearms experts" who said 399 was fired positively in Rifle C2766, Bob? Are they all "full of crap" too? How do you go about discrediting each of their independent examinations?

Bobby just called every single firearms expert who has ever examined Commission Exhibit No. 399 for the United States Government a boob and/or a big fat xxxx (i.e., every firearms expert for both the WC and the HSCA who said that CE399 was positively fired in Carcano Rifle #C2766 "to the exclusion"). Now I've got a much tougher choice to make than I had previously thought in my last post.... Should I believe the many veteran firearms examiners who testified for the WC & HSCA? Or should I go with Bobby "CE 399 could never have been fired from Oswald's rifle" Prudhomme? If only these choices weren't so doggone hard. Now I'm gonna be up all night trying to decide.

Let's see --- I have a choice: Should I believe Robert A. Frazier, a person with 23 years of experience as a firearms identification expert as of 1964? Or should I place my faith in a self-appointed firearms identification "expert" and conspiracy hobbyist named Robert Prudhomme? Oh gosh....what a tough choice that is.

There is no "problem". Never was. You're looking for a "problem" and (naturally) finding one to suit your needs. Par for the CT course, as per usual.

Oh, good Lord. Help us in time of great need. (Such as when Bob P. shows up with nonsense like the above post.)

I'm sure your knowledge concerning "the Walker note" is much more extensive and detailed than my own. I know the basic facts regarding the note, however. And those basic facts indicate that Marina Oswald found the note (with a post office key on the top of it) in Lee's "study" (i.e., closet) at the Neely Street apartment in Dallas on the night of 4/10/63. MARINA OSWALD'S HSCA TESTIMONY RE: THE WALKER INCIDENT Marina saved the note by stashing it inside a book. (I've always wondered why Lee didn't demand that Marina give him the note back so he could burn it, but evidently he didn't do that; so the note survives as CE1.) And the Russian writing we see in that note was determined to be the writing of Lee H. Oswald (sourced previously via an appropriate official FBI source--Cadigan). And Marina has never recanted her story about Lee telling her on April 10 that he had just shot at Walker. Those two things--the note and Marina's testimony--are corroborative of one another and form the proof, IMO, that Lee Oswald did, indeed, fire a shot at General Walker. Plus, the Walker bullet looks very much like CE399 (which we know came out of Oswald's rifle). The FBI could not say that CE573 (the Walker bullet) positively came from Oswald's C2766 Carcano, but on the other hand, the FBI said there was nothing to indicate that 573 did not come from that gun. And as a layperson, just looking at these two bullets, I'm struck by the general similarities in the bullets. I'm sure you can see the similarities as well. (Who couldn't?)....

Just think about it for a minute, Jon. It'll come to you.

Irrelevant.

Not a chance. "Commission Exhibit No. 1 was written by Lee Harvey Oswald." -- James C. Cadigan (FBI); 1964 Warren Commission Testimony [7 H 437] Your other questions, Jon, are irrelevant given the above determination made by handwriting expert James Cadigan and also when factoring in this additional impossible-to-sidestep fact revealed to the world by Mrs. Marina Oswald.... "When he [Lee Oswald] came back I asked him what had happened. He was very pale. I don't remember the exact time, but it was very late. And he told me not to ask him any questions. He only told me that he had shot at General Walker." -- Marina Oswald; 1964 Warren Commission Testimony [1 H 16] Why fight the obvious, Jon? Oswald wrote that note to Marina just before he went out to kill Walker. How can you possibly believe anything else?

Addendum Re: Walker.... There is also Marina Oswald's never-wavering account concerning the murder attempt against General Walker -----> 1978 HSCA AUDIO EXCERPT WITH MARINA OSWALD PORTER

How could any reasonable person possibly come to such a conclusion based on the evidence that exists that shows Oswald shot JFK?

I would say Yes. Without a speck of a doubt. But regardless of any psychological evaluation or "historical analysis" you may wish to perform on Mr. Oswald, the clear FACT remains that the handwriting (in Russian) we see in Commission Exhibit No. 1 is positively the handwriting of Lee Harvey Oswald and no one else's (per the various handwriting analysts who have examined that document for the Warren Commission and the HSCA). Do you want to call into question the conclusions reached by ALL of those handwriting experts, Jon? Bottom Line --- Lee Harvey Oswald wrote the words we see in CE1. There's no good (or reasonable) escape hatch for conspiracy theorists in this regard. Which is why I said previously that CE1 is just about the best type of "circumstantial evidence" you can get. Because it is, in effect, Lee Oswald himself telling us that he's about to go out and do something of a criminal nature on the night of April the 10th, 1963. What other kind of activity could possibly explain these words written by Lee Oswald in that CE1 document?: "If I am alive and taken prisoner..." "You can either throw out or give my clothing etc. away." "The Red Cross will help you." "I left you as much money as I could." If ever a note reeked with a person's guilt, Warren Commission Exhibit Number One is it.

Oh, okay. So sorry, Jon. I forgot the "Socratic" rules for a moment. Please forgive me. (Nice dodge, btw.)

The evidence against Oswald in the Walker murder attempt is, indeed, circumstantial in nature. I'm not denying that fact. Of course it's circumstantial. But it's also fairly solid circumstantial evidence, in my view. And in some ways it is the best kind of circumstantial evidence you could get, because Commission Exhibit No. 1 (the note Lee left behind for Marina on the night of 4/10/63) was written by Lee Harvey Oswald himself. It wasn't written by somebody else. It was written by Lee Oswald. So Lee is telling us, in his own words, that something's not quite normal on the night of April 10th, 1963. Jon, why do you think Lee Oswald wrote the note we find in CE1? If it wasn't written just prior to Lee taking a potshot at General Walker, then why did Lee write such a strange "If I am alive and taken prisoner" note to his wife? He must have been planning something pretty serious in order to use those words. Right, Jon? http://history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh16/html/WH_Vol16_0013a.htm

Two good questions off the top of my head.... 1. Did Lee Harvey Oswald lie (repeatedly) to the authorities after his arrest on 11/22/63? 2. Did Lee Harvey Oswald take a shot at General Edwin A. Walker on April 10, 1963? -------------- I believe the answer to both of the above inquiries is a resounding (and provable) Yes. And if we can all agree that Question #2 should be answered in the affirmative, then a very important fact about Lee Oswald emerges in the process -- the fact that he was willing, seven months before JFK's trip to Texas, to attempt to kill a human being by shooting him with a gun. That's an important thing to know about Lee Harvey Oswald, in my opinion.

VINCENT MICHAEL PALAMARA SAID: GEORGE H.W. BUSH TO WRITE FOREWORD TO CLINT HILL BOOK. .... An inside source who wishes to remain anonymous told me that Poppy Bush is writing the Foreword to Clint Hill's new book coming out in late 2015. DAVID ROBERT VON PEIN SAID: That will make FOUR books authored (or co-authored) by Clint Hill since 2010. My gosh, what can Clint possibly have left to say in book #4? I guess Clint is making up for lost time. He was as quiet as a mouse until 2010, and now--four books inside of five years. That's rather remarkable. I wonder if Lisa McCubbin is working on this latest one too? (Do you know, Vince?) I've always liked and admired Clinton J. Hill. And I wish him the best.
