Most Striking Evidence

[Brian LeCloux]

It's hard to limit this list to three. But here are several pieces of evidence from the government:

1. Commission Counsel Melvin Eisenberg's 22 April 1964 memo recording the views of Warren Commission consultant, Dr. Joseph Dolce on the wounds of John Connally.

Dolce, chairman of the U.S. Army Wounds Ballistic Board, was to be called in when any VIP was shot. The Commission wanted Dolce to tell them how CE 399 emerged undamaged after passing through JFK and JBC. But Dolce concluded that two bullets hit Connally. Harold Weisberg was the primary critic to highlight the significance of Dolce's expertise and the opinion he gave the WC staff. From Eisenberg's memo: "In a discussion after the conference Drs. Light and Dolce expressed themselves as being very strongly of the opinion that Connally had been hit by two different bullets,..." Later, Dolce told interviewer Chip Selby, he was given Oswald's M-C and 6.5 mm ammo and tested the theory. In every instance the bullets were "markedly deformed." Naturally, Dolce wasn't called to testify in front of the Warren Commission.

2. The many dust like fragments in the x rays of JFK's skull cannot be from jacketed bullets such as alleged to have been used by LHO.

3. The Marines report of Oswald's shooting capability, signed by Lt. Col. A. G. Folsum, Jr. by the direction of the Marine Commandant which indicated that as of May 6, 1959, Oswald's 191 score on the test indicated that he was "a rather poor 'shot'."

Bonus:

4. FBI report filed by Richard E. Harrison on 26 Nov. 1963, of an interview with Carolyn Arnold together with the follow up done by Agents Robertson and Trettis on March 18, 1964. The gist: Arnold saw Oswald on the first floor of the TSBD "standing in the hallway between the front door and the double doors leading to the warehouse" as she was leaving the building at 12:25 p.m. Another words, just before the shooting, LHO wasn't up on the sixth floor setting up his assassin's lair. Rather he was milling about five floors below at a time by the way AFTER the scheduled appearance of the motorcade through the area.

Hi Brian,

So a Marine officer said that LHO was "a rather poor shot." OK, "whatever," but didn't he score significantly higher during his much earlier, first "qualification" (when he was undoubtedly more highly-motivated to impress his superiors and his potential buddies)? My intuition tells me that he didn't really give a rat's ass just how poorly he shot when he got the 191. He was a bit of a smart alek, wasn't he. IMO the 191 was just his way of saying, "Please take this job and shove it where the sun don't shine."

IMO, LHO was very likely a much better shot than most of us "researchers" are willing to acknowledge/admit.

All of your other points, however, are highly interesting and seriously worth researching/publicizing further.

Thanks,

--Thomas
