Ron, Many years ago, Denis Morissette had collected a number of FBI interviews of such people as Marvin Wise, William Chambers, Bill Bass, Gedney, Doyle, etc. He put these on a GeoCities server that expired when GeoCities went down in 2009. Mark Stevens located an archived copy of these documents and posted a link to them in the Education Forum Thread, Revisiting The Three Tramps In Dealey Plaza. Here is a link to those documents: https://www.oocities.org/capitolhill/senate/5439/Documents.html These interviews are well worth reading and cross-referencing. Steve Thomas

Trump supporters fume at the president’s campaign for spamming them with ‘sleazy’ text messages https://www.rawstory.com/2020/07/trump-supporters-fume-at-the-presidents-campaign-for-spamming-them-with-sleazy-text-messages/ “You FAILED to use your 5x match,” reads one text message. “It EXPIRED… Why did you let us down? LAST CHANCE.” “We texted you TWICE,” reads another. “Why did you let your 500% Trump House Patriot match expire AGAIN? We’ll give you 1 more chance.” “I’m constantly getting texts like this from yesterday,” wrote one of Schlichter’s followers in response. “I received 4 of the same text, all within 10 mins of each other. I texted ‘STOP’ & got a text stating I’m now unsubscribed, only to have a different number send me more of the same the next day.” “I’m getting multiple texts a day similar to this. AND THE EMAILS…my emails have doubled because of the incessant begging for money from the GOP and various campaigns. Makes me sorry I ever donated to anyone’s campaign.” Steve Thomas

Cash-strapped House Republicans furious with Jared Kushner for blocking RNC help: report ublished 4 hours ago on July 26, 2020 By Tom Boggioni https://www.rawstory.com/2020/07/cash-strapped-house-republicans-furious-with-jared-kushner-for-blocking-rnc-help-report/ “According to a report from the Washington Post, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has been pleading for money from the Republican National Committee to help bolster the struggling campaigns of some of his colleagues in the House — only to be ignored. Following the “Blue wave” 2018 midterm election that resulted in the Republican Party losing control of the House, McCarthy has been attempting to stop the bleeding in 2020 in what is expected to be a high-turnout election with an embattled Donald Trump at the top of the ticket. The report notes that McCarthy has asked the RNC which is flush with cash for a check for the National Republican Congressional Committee multiple times, only to be given a cold shoulder as the RNC focuses on keeping Trump in office. The roadblock for the frustrated McCarthy reportedly is Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner. “McCarthy specifically has asked Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, to make a financial commitment to the House GOP, according to several officials familiar with the discussions, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to freely describe private conversations,” the report states. “But Kushner, who oversees such decisions and has a greater say than RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, has refused thus far, the officials say. While the Trump campaign and the RNC have brought in record amounts of money, some Trump officials see donating to the House as a wasteful investment as the GOP’s chances of reclaiming the majority sharply deteriorate.” According to the report, House Republicans are furious with Kushner, “many of whom believe the president has a duty to help the party — not just himself,” particularly because some Republican House members in safe seats have forwarded donations in the tens of thousands of dollars to the RNC at the request of the president’s campaign officials.” Republicans are learning the hard way that loyalty, and the money flow with the Trump family is a one-way street. You’d think that after the Trump Charity they would have learned their lesson. Steve Thomas

Mark, Sorry. The correct link is: https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=57753&relPageId=109 Rankin had asked Hoover to find the source for the description of the shooter broadcast by the police at 12:45 pm on the 22nd of Nov. Hoover wrote him back and said that according to the police, the source was from an "unidentified citizen". By January of 64, Brennan had certainly been identified. Steve Thomas

Mark, J. Edgar Hoover wrote a letter to J. Lee Rankin on January 14, 1964 that the Dallas Police Department had provided this description of the assailant based on the description provided by an unknown citizen, of a man seen running from the Texas School Book Depository immediately after the assassination. This unknown man had never reported to the Sheriff’s office as instructed. http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/...p;relPageId=109 On November 2, 1964 ( two months after the Warren Report was published) Rankin again asked Hoover to find out where that description came from. Hoover responded with a letter on November 12, 1963 that, according to the Dallas police the information came from an ‘unidentified citizen’.” http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/...mp;relPageId=72 - The description had nothing to do with Brennan. Steve Thomas

Mark, Brenan failed to identify Oswald in a lineup at police headquarters later that day. It's hard to see how he could describe him, yet fail to identify him. For more info on this lineup, see, Brennan's Lineup Unfortunately, the DPD Archives has been taken down, and all the records were transferred to the Portal to Texas History. https://texashistory.unt.edu/explore/collections/JFKAM/browse/?start=0 Steve Thomas

Paul, I don't have any opinion on this TSBD mystery man. There were just too many people floating in and out of this crime scene. As far as Gerald Hill goes, I don't know when he got there, but from the Dispatch tapes: http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/dpdtapes/tapes2.htm 1:19 Dispatch: No physical description Dispatch to 91(Ptm. Wentzel: 91, have a signal 19 west on Jefferson. No description at this time. (Pause) Suspect just passed 401 E Jefferson. 1:22 Dispatch: We have a description on this suspect over here on Jefferson. Last seen about 300 block of East Jefferson. He's a white male, about thirty, five eight, (siren) black hair, slender, wearing white jacket, a white shirt and dark slacks. (Sirens) The first time we hear from Gerald Hill was at 1:26PM - four minutes after Dispatch has broadcast a description of an entirely different man. 1:26 from 91: What was the description besides the white jacket? 1:26 Dispatch: White male, thirty, five feet eight, black hair, slender build, white shirt, black trousers. Going west on Jefferson from the 300 block. 1:26 550/2 (Gerald Hill) I'm at Twelfth and Beckley now. Have a man in the car with me that can identify the suspect if anybody gets him. What was he doing at 12th and Beckley, which is way south of the shooting? Who was this mystery man he had in the car with him? As far as I can tell, he never told Dispatch the description he was given at the scene. Steve Thomas

@JoshuaPotash Portland right now. Stunning. https://twitter.com/i/status/1286902233007874048 Steve Thomas

Paul. No, I don't believe that there was any "unidentified man" who gave Gerald Hill a description of Tippit's killer. I believe Hill had that description in hand went out to the shooting scene. The idea that an eyewitness to a shooting (especially of a police officer) would walk up to a police investigator and tell him that he was an eyewitness to the shooting and that investigator would allow that witness to simply walk away and would not get that witness's name and address for use in a later trial simply defies all logic and common sense. The Harvey Lee Oswald dossier was a part part of the frame. Steve Thomas

Ron, Kleinlerer and his girlfriend Lydia Dimytruk are definitely worth looking into. Do a Google search for George Bloodworth. Lydia Dimytruk is Kleinlerer's girlfriend. For more information on Lydia Dimytruk, see: (she is a piece of work!) http://jfk.hood.edu/Collection/FBI%20Records%20Files/105-82555/105-82555%20More%20Referrals/105-82555%20More%20Referrals%203-04.pdf pp. 13-33, Suspected of being a Russian spy. Formerly married to Vasily Kostenko, also suspected of being a Russian spy. She marries Pavel Dimytruk in 1956. Emigrates to the U.S. In 1959 and divorces him in 1960. Sound familiar? FBI - HSCA Subject File: Lydia Dymitruk (page 9 in the file, page 7 of the Report https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=129757&search=Alexander_Kleinlerer#relPageId=9&tab=page On December 3, 1968 the FBI interviewed a George Bloodworth, who was a Warrant Officer Candidate in the U.S. Army Helicopter School in Mineral Wells, Texas. He met George Bouhe in the apartment of Alexander Kleinlerer. Bloodworth had formerly been in the Marines and had been stationed at the U.S. Embassy in Tunisia. He was very security conscious. Kleinlerer left the apartment to buy some food at a delicatessen, and Bloodworth and Bouhe got to talking. While they were talking, Bloodworth got the impression that Bouhe was “one of us”, meaning an Army Intelligence Agent. AGENT REPORT For use of this form, see F M 30-f7(C); AR 381-130; the proponent agency is the Office of the Assistant Chief of Stoff for Intelligence. 1 NAME Of SUBJECT OR FILE OF INCIDENT: SAEDA (U) Munich, FRG 28 Sep 76 2 DATE SUBMITTED: 23 March 1977 4 REPORT OP FINDINGS Kleinlerer and Mrs. (George) Bloodworth then went to a delicatessen to purchase some items, and were absent from the apartment approximately 45 minutes. During this time Bouhe and Lydia (Dimytruk) asked Bloodworth numerous questions concerning the types of helicopters in use by the US and about the armament capabilities of these helicopters. During the questioning, Bouhe and Lydia also engaged in conversations between themselves in a language other than English. In response to Bloodworth's questions, they informed him that they were speaking in the Russian language. Bouhe asked Bloodworth what he thought about the Vietnam War and how long he thought it would take before the war ended. Bloodworth thought it strange that two civilians would be asking questions about helicopter armament and only answered their questions when he knew the information was unclassified and could be read in any aviation magazine or newspaper. Bloodworth was not questioned about his background. Bloodworth overheard Bouhe and Lydia talking about two radios that were located in the apartment. Lydia stated that Kleinlerer had bought another radio and Bouhe immediately asked why, because he (Bouhe) had given Kleinlerer a radio that would receive "Moscow." Bloodworth noticed two radios located on a table in the rear of Kleinlerer’s apartment, however could provide no positive identifying data on the radios because they were encased. PS: I have always been suspicious of the radio that seemed to be so important to Oswald. Steve Thomas

White House seeks advice of 'torture memos' author on powers https://apnews.com/9b8cee4c505dda9069ea4da908c91f35 WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is relying on an outlier interpretation of a recent Supreme Court decision to assert broad new powers as he prepares to sign a series of executive orders in the coming weeks. The expansive view of presidential authority has been promoted by John Yoo, a Berkeley Law professor known for writing the so-called “torture memos” that the George W. Bush administration used to justify using “enhanced interrogation” techniques after the Sept. 11 terror attacks. Yoo told The Associated Press on Thursday he’s had multiple conversations with senior administration officials in which he’s made the case that a June Supreme Court ruling that rejected Trump’s effort to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, opened the door to enormous new presidential power. Under the court’s decision, he wrote in Newsweek, “presidents can now stop enforcing laws they dislike, hand out permits or benefits that run contrary to acts of Congress and prevent their successors from repealing their policies for several years.” In National Review, Yoo suggested Trump could, for instance, now create a nationwide right to carry guns openly by refusing to enforce federal firearms laws and then creating a new “Trump permit” that would free any holder of local gun restrictions. Steve Thomas

Jim, No. Just the opposite. According to George Bouhe (WC testimony) http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ/testimony/bouhe.htm Mr. LIEBELER - Did youl know where Oswald lived when he moved to Dallas? Mr. BOUHE - Yes, sir. Mr. LIEBELER - Where? Mr. BOUHE - YMCA on Ervay Street. Mr. LIEBELER - Do you know how long he lived there? Mr. BOUHE - I certainly would be willing to bet that he lived there from about October the 7th or 8th, I am sorry, about October 8, which is a Monday, until about October 18. But that latter figure I do not know myself except from an FBI agent who told me he checked out on the 18th, but that I do know. Mr. LIEBELER - Do you know where he moved when he checked out of the YMCA? Mr. BOUHE - At some point thereabouts he threw at me when I asked, "Where do you live now?" He gave me, if I recall correctly, a name of the Carlton boarding house on Madison Avenue, but it proved to be wrong. Mr. LIEBELER - Did you tell the FBI that he told you he lived at the Carlton boarding house? Mr. BOUHE - Yes. Mr. LIEBELER - The FBI checked it out and told you subsequently that he had not lived there? Mr. BOUHE - That's correct. The FBI men went there, and it developed that Oswald told me a lie to send me on a wild goose chase, but the name strikes me somehow; and FBI rechecked this place and said it was a bum steer. Except that Oswald didn’t move to the YMCA until October 15th. Like I said, nobody knew where the hell he was living. In my mind, October of 1962 would be one of the most fruitful areas of research a researcher could look for. Steve Thomas

It was worth the wait. Steve Thomas

(CNN)President Donald Trump said Thursday that he's willing to send as many as 75,000 federal agents into American cities to quell violent crime, a recent campaign theme for the President. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/23/politics/trump-federal-agents-us-cities/index.html Speaking in a telephone interview on Fox News, Trump began by saying he was ready to dispatch "50,000, 60,000 people" into American cities. But eventually he upped the figure to 75,000 -- but said it would require local authorities asking for help. "We have to be invited in. At some point we'll have to do something much stronger than being invited in," Trump said. Steve Thomas

Jim, Th truth is, nobody knew where the hell Oswald was staying during the month of October, 1962. (Other than the short stint he was at the YMCA from October 15-19) Oswald rented P.O. Box 2915 on October 9, 1962 A good source of info can be found at Mary Ferrell's Chronologies pages 75+ Mary Ferrell Chronologies (page 75) https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=40390#relPageId=75&tab=page (Page 78) (Page 79) Steve Thomas

Ron, The article I quoted is from an earlier Douglas Caddy post https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2020-07-22/portland-invaded-by-militarized-federal-law-enforcement-lawmaker-says The picture is from a tweet by Disinfectant Don himself. The mercenaries line is my own, although others have expressed the idea as well. For example, see this article by Bill Conroy The Lead Federal Agency Responding to Protesters in Portland Employs Thousands of Private Contractors on the website: https://medium.com/@wkc6428/the-lead-federal-agency-responding-to-protesters-in-portland-employs-thousands-of-private-db137349f8b0 "Congress needs to shine a light on the use of private security firms, including ‘Blackwater’ legacy companies, in Trump’s response to ongoing civil rights protests." "What has not been reported widely in the media, however, is the fact that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) unit that is coordinating the “crowd control” effort — an agency called the Federal Protective Service (FPS) — is composed largely of contract security personnel. Those contractors are being furnished to FPS by major private-sector security companies like Blackwater corporate descendant Triple Canopy as well as dozens of other private security firms." Steve Thomas

I can't wait for the next Sarah Cooper impersonation of Donald Trump explaining his cognitive test. Steve Thomas

Douglas, Quoting from the article: -QUOTE- "President Donald Trump's decision to send federal law enforcement officers to Portland to protect federal property – resulting in the arrest of protesters by armed agents wearing military-style uniforms – ..." -ENDQUOTE- The Department of Homeland Security is using "agents" from Customs and Border Protection and the Bureau of Prisons. Customs and Border Protection contracts with private security firms to patrol the border. I have read that these are heavily infused with right-wind militia types who have signed up to "protect our borders". The Bureau of Prisons contracts with private prison companies to run its facilities. From the Bureau's own web site: Contract Prisons We contract with the private sector to help manage our inmate population. "Contract prisons are secure institutions operated by private corporations.". These clowns that are being sent to cities like Portland are not even government employees. They're mercenaries. Postscript: When I posted the above, I hadn't even seen this: "civilian law enforcement... enforcing federal law" indeed Steve Thomas

I first posed the question on November 22, 2004 in the Education Forum JFK Assassination Seminars “How did the Police First Learn that Oswald Lived at 1026 N. Beckley?” http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/2331-how-did-the-police-first-learn-of-1026-n-beckley/ At 12:45 PM, a call went out over the Dallas Police Department’s Dispatch Network. http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/dpdtapes/ “Attention Elm and Houston is reported to be an unknown white male, all squads. Attention all squads. The suspect in the shooting at approximately thirty, slender build, height five feet ten inches, weight one hundred sixty-five pounds, reported to be armed with what is thought to be a 30 caliber rifle. Attention all squads. The suspect from Elm and Houston is reported to be an unknown white male about thirty, slender build, five feet ten inches tall, one hundred sixty-five pounds, armed with what is thought to be a 30-30 rifle. No further description at this time, or information. 12:45.” No one knows where this description came from. At 2:40 PM, W.E. Potts, B.L. Senkel and Lt. E.L. Cunningham were dispatched to 1026 N. Beckley. Potts wrote in his after-action report (Box 2, Folder# 9, Item# 32) http://jfk.ci.dallas.tx.us/box2.htm that after he finished taking some affidavits, Fritz dispatched them to the Beckely St address at 2:40 and they arrived at Beckley at 3:00PM. Detective B.L. Senkel also said in his after action report (Dallas Police Archives Box 3, Folder# 12, Item#1) that they arrived at 1026 N. Beckley at 3:00PM. When they arrived, housekeeper at 1026 N. Beckley, Earlene Roberts told the Warren Commission that when the police arrived they were looking for Harvey Lee Oswald. WC testimony of Earlene Roberts April 8, 1964 http://jfkassassination.net/russ/testimony/robertse.htm Mr. BALL. Do you remember the day the President was shot? Mrs. ROBERTS. Yes; I remember it---who would forget that? Mr. BALL. And the police officers came out there? Mrs. ROBERTS. Yes, sir. Mr. BALL. Do you remember what they said? Mrs. ROBERTS. Well, it was Will Fritz' men---it was plainclothesmen and I was at the back doing something and Mr. Johnson answered the door and they identified themselves and then he called me. Mr. BALL. What did they say? Mrs. ROBERTS. Well, they asked him if there was a Harvey Lee Oswald there. According to Will Fritz, someone, whose name he could not remember gave him Oswald's Beckley address before he began interrogating Oswald: (4H207) https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=34#relPageId=215&tab=page Mr. FRITZ. When I started to talk to this prisoner or maybe just before I started to talk to him, some officer told me outside of my office that he had a room on Beckley, I don't know who that officer was, I think we can find out, I have since I have talked to you this morning I have talked to Lieutenant Baker and he says I know maybe who that officer was, but I am not sure yet. On the evening of 11/22/64, a cable was sent from Washington to Fort Macdill in Florida concerning the FPCC, In part, the cable reads: https://ia601309.us.archive.org/22/items/nsia-ArmyIntelligenceJFK/nsia-ArmyIntelligenceJFK/AI%20JFK%2001.pdf 112th IINTELLIGENCE CORPS GROUP SPOT REPORT (REGION II) http://jfk.hood.edu/Collection/Weisberg%20Subject%20Index%20Files/A%20Disk/Army%20Intelligence%20112th%20INTC%20San%20Antonio/Item%2007.pdf Date Sent: 22 Nov 63 Time Sent: 17:30 hrs INTC, Region II, Dallas, Texas Spot Report No. 417 Subject: Lee Harvey Oswald Reference to Previous Reports: Spot Report No. 415 Time, Date, and Place: 17:15 hrs., 22 Nov, 1963, Dallas Personnel, Organization, or Installation Involved: SUBJECT and Dallas Police Summary: “Assistant Chief, Don Stringfellow, Intelligence Section, Dallas Police Dept., notified Region II that Oswald had confessed to the shooting of President Kennedy and Police Officer Tippitt. The only additional information they obtained from Oswald at this time is that he defected to Cuba in 1959, and that he is a card carrying member of the Communist Party.” My conclusion back in 2004 was that the information concerning Oswald living on Beckley came from some source in military intelligence. Others have come to the same conclusion. http://www.jfkassassinationforum.com/index.php?topic=8636.0;wap2 On 7/20/2020, in the Education Forum, Mark Stevens published some clippings from the AP Wire Service photos. Clippings from The Bulletin, November 25, 1963. http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/26529-was-it-really-just-a-mole-hunt-about-oswald/page/39/#comments Included was this paragraph: Dallas Assistant Police Chief, George Lumpkin was the Commandant of the 4150th U.S.Army Reserve Training School in Dallas. TX. https://newspaperarchive.com/tags/george-lumpkin/?pc=24581&psi=94&pci=7&pt=23960&ob=1/ Colonel, B.B. (Boise) Smith. Director, Civil Defense and Disaster Commission. Dallas Police Department, Deputy Chief of Police was also a member of the 4150th’s faculty. https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth782328/m1/2/ Col. B.B. Smith Daily Palmer Rustler October 14, 1954 page 2 (Member of the faculty 4150th U.S.Army Reserve Training School) https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth782328/m1/2/ He Reported directly to Chief Curry. Batchelor Exhibit 5002 https://www.aarclibrary.org/publib/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh19/pdf/WH19_Batchelor_Ex_5002.pdf When asked how he identified the killer of Patrolman, J.D. Tippit, Sergeant Gerald Hill told the Warren Commission, http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ/testimony/hill_gl.htm “We went on to the scene of the shooting where we found a squad car parked against the right or the south curb on 10th Street, with a pool of blood on the left-hand side of it near the side of the car. Tippit had already been removed. The first man that came up to me, he said, "The man that shot him was a white male about 5'10", weighing 160 to 170 pounds, had on a Jacket and a pair of dark trousers, and brown bushy hair." Gerald Hill did not identify who this man was that identified the killer. I don't know what this all means for sure. What I am thinking right now is that members of the U.S. Army Reserves had access to a dossier of a blue-eyed, 5'10" 165 lb, wavy brown-hair headed Harvey Lee Oswald that they handed over to the Dallas Police Department, They told the police, "This is the guy you're looking for. His name is Harvey Lee Oswald and he lives over on Beckley" Who was the source for the assassin’s description sent out at 12:45 PM? I think it was the Dallas Police themselves. Steve Thomas

Bob, This is very weird to me. On the first page of Durand's history, he uses this language: This is the exact same language used by Robert Jones in his HSCA testimony regarding the cable that went out to Fort MacDill in Florida the evening of the assassination: HSCA testimony of Robert Jones before the HSCA https://history-matters.com/archive/jfk/hsca/unpub_testimony/Jones_4-20-78/html/jones_0056a.htm p. 56 I wonder if that is some kind of coded language I don't understand.

Trump May Use DHS Stormtroopers To Stop People from Voting Democrats must plan accordingly. by David Atkins Washington Monthly July 18, 2020 https://washingtonmonthly.com/2020/07/18/expect-trump-to-use-dhs-stormtroopers-to-stop-people-from-voting-and-plan-accordingly/ “Put all of this together, and it opens the possibility of a terrifying abuse of power. We could end up seeing armed private contractors hired by the RNC and affiliated conservative organizations to intimidate Democratic-leaning voters, bolstered by camouflage-wearing taxpayer-funded rifle-toting border patrol agents aggressively checking papers of every voter in line in the guise of “securing against voter fraud” on the president’s orders. This would be happening during the most tense presidential election in our lifetimes during a raging pandemic, often in lines in which voters must wait 8 to 10 hours to vote due to restricted polling places in minority communities–also a blatant suppression attempt enabled by the Supreme Court’s voiding of many of the protections of the Voting Rights Act. The likelihood that these actions would be met with immediate enraged protest would be very high. Election Day violence unheard of since the Civil Rights era could ensue, which would give Trump an excuse to instigate further crackdowns across the country as election day continues. Federal agents could forseeably be sent in to attempt to stop the counting of mail-in ballots in the days following the election on presidential orders. No need for a Brooks Brothers Riot if you can just send in an armed federal paramilitary, instead.” Cuccinelli said that his people were making "proactive" arrests, meaning that you don't have to have actually committed a crime to be swept up and stuffed in one of their unmarked vans. Steve Thomas

Joe, In all fairness to Hosty, and let me say up front that I don't trust Hosty as far as I could throw him, but that's the way Federal agents and police officers are trained to answer, when they are on the witness stand. Never volunteer anything, and only answer the specific questions that are put to you. No more, no less. Steve Thomas

Jim, I have a suspicion that Marina never went back to Elsbeth. George DeMohrenschildt and George Bouhe had convinced Marina to leave Lee. They packed up all her stuff and moved her. She had so much "stuff" that George DeM said that his car was dragging on the ground. He estimated that she had at least 100 dresses that the women in the White Russian Community had collected for her. When Gary Taylor moved them from Fort Worth to Elsbeth, he had to rent a U-Haul trailer to move it all. And yet, Mrs. Tobias said that when they move from Elsbeth to Neely, they packed up their belongings in a baby stroller and walked over. My question has always been, "What happened to all their "stuff"? (I feel like George Carlin here). What happened to the hundred dresses? If, as Marguerite says, Marina was staying at Neely with a German guy, my bet would be on Alexander Kleinlerer. (He was hitting on her when she was staying at the Hall's). Steve Thomas

Jim, Marguerite said that Lee never lived there. Marina was staying there with some German guy. I have no idea what to make of that. Hosty told the WC that after learning the Oswalds had left Elsbeth St, he went to Neely and confirmed the Oswalds were living there by reading both their names on the mailbox. "I believe her name was Mrs. Tobias, that she had just evicted Lee and Marina Oswald from her apartment building because of their alleged fighting and his alleged drinking. They caused a disturbance and she had asked him to leave on March 3, 1963. She told me they had moved a short distance away. She didn't know where. On that same date, I was able to determine from the postal authorities that they had changed their address to 214 Neely Street, also in the Oak Cliff section of Dallas. On the 14th of March, I verified that Oswalds were residing at this address when I found the mailbox with the name of Lee and Marina Oswald at this address, 214 Neely Street." Steve Thomas
