Lee Harvey Oswald , born on October 18th, 1939, deceased on November 24th, 1963, is the assassin supposed of the US president John Fitzgerald Kennedy according to the conclusions of the two governmental investigations having examined the circumstances of the assassination.

Youth and entry in the Marine

Born with La Nouvelle-Orléans in Louisiana, he knows a difficult childhood.

His/her father, Robert Lee Oswald, die two months before his birth. His/her mother, who had to only raise it like her brother, Robert, and her half-brother, John Pic, was a protective and dominating mother. The family had a rather unstable life. Before it is 18 years old, Lee had known 22 residences and 12 schools, generally with the New-Orleans and Dallas.

Taiseux and recluse, Oswald is capable of violence. Whereas Oswald and its mother lived with New York, at the beginning of 1953, its school and characterial problems involved a psychiatric evaluation on order of the administration which was enough alarming to involve its setting under probation by a judge of youth. The situation was not really arranged and youth in load of Lee judges it considered its placement. But before an unspecified decision is made, Marguerite left New York at the beginning of 1954 and moved in with New-Orleans.

Oswald attended the school in an irregular way and never obtained its diploma of secondary. Oswald always had a bad orthography, and its errors bring to estimate that he suffered from dyslexia. In spite of these problems, he was an avid reader and always thought that he was more intelligent than people who surrounded it. As from its 15 years, according to its own declarations, Oswald is interested in the Marxisme. A little later in New-Orleans, it buys the Capital and the Manifeste of the Communist party . In October 1956, Lee written to the president of the American Socialist party a letter where he has declared himself Marxist and affirmed to study the Marxist principles for fifteen months. However, while at the same time it read any Marxist literature which it could find, Oswald prepared its entry in the Marines by heart learning the handbook from the Marines of its older brother, Robert, who was Marine . Oswald adored this brother of which it carried proudly the ring of the Corps and for a long time dreamed to imitate it while following it in the career. While at the same time he regarded himself as a Marxist, Oswald carries out its dream of childhood and engages in the Marines one week after its seventeenth birthday.

After the basic drives, from October 1956 in March 1957, Oswald accepted a specific drive intended for the air component of the Marines . At the end of this drive, on May 3rd, 1957, he became soldier of first class, accepted the accreditation of minimal safety, " confidential " , and the drive of operator radar followed. After a passage at the base of El Toro (California) in July 1957, It was assigned at the base of Atsugi, the Japan, in August 1957. This base was used for the flights of the spy plane Lockheed U-2 with the top of the the USSR, and though Oswald was not implied in these secret operations, certain authors speculated that it could have begun a career of spy there.

Entered the body of the US Navy at the minimal age 17 years, rather small and frail compared to the marine standard , Oswald underwent mockeries which its ombrageux character did nothing but poke. However, this time in Japan seems to have been one happy time for Oswald. It seemed to find its place in the military career and had made a success of the examination of Caporal. It however never obtained this promotion and was even retrograde with the row of private after being translated twice into Martial Court, first once for illegal possession of an handgun (a derringer) and second once for a brawl with a warrant officer, which was worth moreover forty-five days of dungeon to him. Of return to the United States, Oswald was again affected in El Toro in December 1958, and started to show a disinterest of the military career. In February 1959, he asked to pass a general knowledge test of the Russian to which he had poor results .

At this point in time Oswald started to express in a clear way of the Marxist opinions which did not improve its popularity near his/her comrades. It read Russian reviews enormously, listened to Russian discs and was addressed to the others either in Russian or by counterfeiting a Russian accent. His/her comrades called it then " 'Oswaldskovich " .

Semi-1959, It made in kind prematurely break its engagement in the army by pretexting the fact that it had was the only support for his suffering mother. When it could leave the army in September 1959, it had in fact already prepared the following stage of its life, its defection in the USSR.

Oswald had been a good soldier, in any case at the beginning of its career, and its results with the tests of shooting, for example, were very satisfactory. Its results with the shooting were degraded however towards the end of its military career, element which was then used to make pass Oswald like a poor gunner. Thus, with a score of 191 on May 5th, 1959, Oswald still the level good shot reached, whereas it considered already its departure of the Corps . At this meeting of shooting, Nelson Delgado, the only person who affirmed before the Warren Commission that Oswald was a bad shot, had made 192. In fact, according to the standards of the Body of Marines, Oswald was a rather good shot.

The Soviet Union

The voyage of Oswald in the USSR was well prepared: it had saved the near total of its wages of Marine and obtained a passport while claiming to want to study in Europe. It embarked on September 20th on an out-going vessel of the New-Orleans bound for the Havre where it arrived on October 8th to leave immediately towards Southampton then took a plane towards Helsinki (Finland) where it lands on October 10th. As of the Monday the 12th, Oswald was presented to the embassy of the USSR and request a tourist visa six days within the framework of an organized voyage, visa which it obtains on October 14th.

Oswald left Helsinki by train on October 15th and arrived at Moscow the 16. The very same day, he asks the Soviet citizenship, that Soviet, with his great surprise, refused to him with the first access, considering that its defection would be little of value. After it had made an suicide attempt, Soviet granted the right to him to remain, initially temporarily, following what Oswald tried to give up its American citizenship, then for an unspecified time.

Soviet sent Oswald to Minsk in January 1960, where it was supervised permanently during the three years which its stay by the KGB lasted. Oswald seemed happy first of all: it had a work in an iron-foundry, a free apartment and a governmental allowance in addition to its wages, in short a comfortable existence according to the standards of living Soviet.

The fact that the U2 of Francis Powers was cut down by Soviet after the arrival of Oswald, in May 1960, woke up the curiosity of certain authors wondering which bond this event could have with the passage of Oswald on the basis of Atsugi, one of the bases from where of U2 took off. However, in addition to Oswald never seems to have been in contact with secrecies on Atsugi, nobody forever succeeded in establishing a bond between Oswald and this event. Thus, U2 de Powers was cut down by a salvo of missiles lucky SA-2 (unless Powers was under its normal ceiling) and no special information was necessary for this purpose.

The initial enthusiasm of Oswald for its new life seems to be blunted at the same rate/rhythm as the interest that it had waked up at the beginning in the town of Minsk where he was first American. In addition, Oswald, called " Alek " by his/her friends, the bureaucratic Soviet Union considered hard, which it ends up seeing like a perversion of the Socialisme.

In March 1961, whereas it had had some contacts with the American embassy in Moscow for its return to the United States, Oswald met Marina Alexandrovna Medvedeva Nikolayevna Prusakova, a young coed in 19 years pharmacy, at the time of a ball to the Palate of the Trade unions. They married less than one month later and settled in the apartment of Oswald. In May 1961, Oswald reiterates with the US embassy its wish to go back to the United States, this time with his wife. At the time of a voyage in July in Moscow, Oswald went with Marina, enclosure of their first child, with the American embassy to ask for a renewal of its passport. This renewal was authorized in July, but the fight with the Soviet bureaucracy would last much longer. When the first child of Oswald, June, was born in February 1962, they were still in Minsk. Finally, they accepted their exit visa in May 1962, and the Oswald family left the USSR and embarked for the United States on June 1st 1962.

Dallas

The Oswald family settled with Fort Worth (close to Dallas) mid-June 1962, initially in her Robert brother, then in her mother, at the beginning of July, and finally in a small apartment at the end of July, when Lee had found a work in an iron-foundry. FBI was interested naturally in Lee, and at that time had two discussions with him, on June 26th and on August 16th. The talks not having revealed anything of notable, the agent in charge of the file required of Oswald to contact the FBI so Soviet contacted it, and concludes its reports/ratios while recommending to close the file. However, as of on August 12th, Lee wrote with the Socialist Workers Party , a party trotskist, to require documentation of them, and continued to receive three Russian periodicals.

Towards the end of August, Oswald were introduced near the small emigrated Russian community of Dallas. Those particularly did not like Oswald, which was unpleasant, but took in Marina pity, lost in a country of which she did not even know the language that Lee refused to learn to him. It is within the framework of these contacts that Oswald met George de Mohrenschildt, an eccentric rich person of 51 years Russian origin who took Oswald in sympathy. The relations between Oswald and of Mohrenschildt caused speculation many, and some believed to see in Mohrenschildt an agent having taken part in a conspiracy, without never finding element factual in support of the assumption. Marina also bound friendship with Ruth and Michael Paine.

In October 1962, Oswald left its work at Fort Worth and moved in Dallas, where it quickly found a place in a firm of reproduction, Jaggars-Chiles-Stovall . In November, the relations between Lee and Marina worsened so much so that Marina left it temporarily. His/her Russian friends accommodated it by encouraging it to leave Lee definitively. When she forgave him a few days later, its privileged relations with the Russian community cooled, and only of Mohrenschildt kept the contact.

It is in January 1963 that Oswald fills a purchase order for a Revolver Smith & Wesson at Seaport Traders, a firm of mail-order selling of Los Angeles. It was about a gauge .38 whose barrel had been rechambré to accept Special gauge .38 and whose gun had been cut up to make of it a version snob nose , easily dissimulated. The revolver cost 29,95 dollars, and it signed the purchase order of the name of “ A.J. Hidell ”, while giving for address limps it postal #2915 at the post office of the street Ervay. It operated of the same in March 1963, when it ordered its Carcano under the name of A. Hiddel for the price of 21,95 dollars at Klein' S Sporting Goods in Chicago.

In February 1963, whereas the relations between Lee and Marina were envenimaient until violence, Oswald contacted first the embassy of the USSR while implying that it wished to go back there. It is as during this month as Oswald met Ruth Paine, which was going to become, with her husband, Michael, very near to Oswald.

Quickly, Ruth and Marina became close during the month to March 1963, and it is at the end of the month that Lee required of Marina to take photographs of him with its weapons. It is also during this month that Oswald started to prepare the assassination of the Walker general, that the two ordered weapons were delivered to him, that Lee lost its work at Jaggers and that the Hosty agent of the FBI began a re-examination of routine of the file of Oswald and Marina (six months being run out since its last discussion with Oswald), during which he discovered a note of the FBI of New York on a subscription of Lee to the Worker , communist newspaper, which intrigued it and pushed it has to reopen the file. However, before Hosty could treat the file, it realized that Oswald had left Dallas

The attempted murder on the Walker General

The general Edwin Walker, a hero of the second world war, was an anticommunist virulent and in favor of the racial segregation. Walker had been raised of his command in Germany and had been transferred to Hawaii in April 1961 by president Kennedy after it had distributed literature of extreme-right-hand side to his troops. He resigned then of the army in November 1961 and withdrew himself with Dallas to begin a political career there. He presented himself against John Connally for the nomination Démocrate to the post of Governor of the Texas in 1962, but was beaten by Connally which was finally elected governor. In Dallas, Walker will become the figurehead of the John Birch Society, an organization of extreme-right-hand side based in Massachusset.

Walker represented all that Oswald hated and it started to supervise it in February 1963, in particular taking photographs of its residence and surroundings. The April 10th 1963, whereas it had been congédié from Jaggars-Chiles-Stovall for 10 days, it left a Russian note with Marina and left her residence with its rifle. The evening even, whereas Walker had sat at his office, one drew on him from a distance from 30 meters. Walker survived by a simple stroke of luck: the ball struck the frame out of wooden of the window and was deviated.

When Oswald returned at his place, it was pale and seemed frightened. When he says to Marina what he had just done, it made him destroy the whole of the documents that he had gathered to prepare his attempted murder, though it preserved the Russian note.

The implication of Oswald in this attempt was known authorities only after the death of Oswald, when this note, as well as a photograph of the house of Walker, accompanied by the testimony of Marina, reached them. The ball recovered in the house of Walker was damaged too much to allow a ballistic analysis, but the analyzes this ball by neutron Activation by HSCA made it possible to determine that it had been produced by the same manufacturer as the ball which killed Kennedy.

The New-Orleans

Without employment, Oswald entrusted Marina to the good care of Ruth Paine and left to New-Orleans to find work. It found an employment on May 9th and Marina joined it on May 10th.

Oswald seemed again unhappy of its fate, and though it lost its illusions on the Soviet Union, it obliged Marina to write with the embassy the USSR to ask for the authorization of go back there. Marina accepted several not very enthusiastic answers of the embassy, but meanwhile the hopes of Oswald had referred on Cuba and Fidel Castro. He became a burning defender of Castro and decided to create a local section of association Fair play for Cuba . He devoted 22,73 dollars to the impression of 1.000 leaflets, 500 applications to join and 300 charts of members for Fair play for Cuba and Marina signed name of " A.J. Hidell" like chair section on one of the charts.

Whereas Oswald was again without work, it made, on August 5th, 1963, a curious attempt at infiltration of the anti-castriste mediums: it was presented in the form of an anticommunist near Carlos Bringuier, delegated to New-Orleans of the association of the cuban students while proposing to put its capacities of Marine at the service of anti-castristes.

A few days later, on August 9th, a friend of Bringuier located Oswald distributing pro-Castro leaflets. The second meeting between Bringuier and Oswald was thus explosive, and resulted in a collective arrest. Oswald spent the night in prison, and its lawsuit (as that of Bringuier) drew the attention of a local television broadcast station which proposed to film it distributing leaflets, which was made on August 13rd, the film spending the evening-even on television. Oswald was then contacted by a local radio ( WDSU ), and after the first maintenance, it suggested to them organizing a debate between him and Bringier.

Its correspondence of the time shows happy Oswald of the noise which it succeeds in making around Fair play for Cuba and presenting its section - of which he was the only member like a success.

However, the broadcast debate which followed turned to the disadvantage of Oswald: Bringuier was well prepared, and the journalist cooked Oswald on his passage in the USSR, that Oswald had hidden during the first maintenance. Fair play for Cuba , related to a Marxist having lived in the USSR, did not have from now on any more future in New-Orleans. Humiliated and having lost any credibility, Oswald planned to hijack a plane towards Cuba, but Marina succeeds in from of dissuading it, and encouraged it to find a means legal to go to Cuba. In the absence of connection between the United States and Cuba, Lee started to plan to pass by Mexico.

The four months that Oswald passed to New-Orleans were the object of much speculation and in particular of all the attention of Jim Garrison, the district attorney of the city which thought of being able to bind Oswald with Clay Shaw, a local businessman which it estimated to be implied in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

The bond between Oswald and Clay Shaw was supposed being Guy Banister, an old agent of the FBI become detective and David Ferrie, a pilot.

It seems that in the years '50, Ferrie and Oswald then adolescent are at least cross in the " Civil Air Patrol " , an auxiliary civil association of the air force, however no bond forever which been able to be established between Oswald and Bannister (nor moreover between Bannister and Ferrie, even if it is possible that these two there knew each other).

A last bond raised between Guy Banister and Oswald is the fact that Oswald used address 544 Street Camp on some of the leaflets which it had distributed, the offices of Guy Banister being to the 531 Lafayette Street, on the other side of the corner of the street in the same building. However, the two entries give in noncommunicating parts of the building and address 544 Street Camp had been the address of the revolutionary Council anti-Castro, where Carlos Bringuier had worked besides. A cuban resident of the address testified to have been approximate in July 1963 by Oswald which expressed its wish to help resistance against Castro. He had then said to him that association had left and advised in Oswald to be addressed to Bringuier. The mention of the address on certain leaflets can thus be explained by the wish of Oswald to embarrass the Council and Bringuier.

Travel to Mexico

Whereas Ruth Paine brought back Marina to Dallas on September 23rd, 1963, Oswald remained downtown two days to undoubtedly collect its last check of unemployment of 33 dollars. These days are also those where an incident is which makes dubious the exact way of Oswald starting from New-Orleans: it is about the testimony of Sylvia Odio.

At all events, Oswald was in a bus Houston-Laredo on September 26th, and continued then towards Mexico City. There, it tried to obtain a visa towards Cuba, being presented in the form of a defender of Cuba and Castro, and by affirming that it wanted to then continue towards the USSR. The embassy refused the visa to him if it did not have a Soviet visa as a preliminary. The embassy of the USSR, after having consulted Moscow, refused the visa. After several days of to and from between the two embassies, rejected and mortified Oswald went back to Dallas.

The Mexican episode was also the subject of many speculations. Those were reinforced by an error of the CIA which supervised the embassy of the USSR and sent to the Commission Warren a photograph of somebody who was not Oswald, which caused assumptions that Oswald was not in fact not in Mexico City or in any case had not done there what one claimed. Years later, however, Cuba forwarded to the American authorities the request for visa of Oswald, and its writing was formally identified.

The return to Dallas

Of return to Dallas on October 3rd, Oswald expressed its disappointment with regard to the mode of Castro. It decided to leave Marina at Ruth Paine while it sought a new employment and a new apartment. Oswald found a housing with 7 dollars the week to the 621 Marsalis in Oak Cliff, and sought an employment the every day, because its unemployment benefits completed. Its first landlady, who did not appreciate it and was wary of him, in particular because it spoke in a " language étrangère" on the telephone, refused to renew the hiring. Oswald thought that the cause was a new investigation of the FBI. It thus decided henceforth to rent under a false name and its following hiring, on October 14th, was made under the name of " O.H Lee".

In spite of its efforts, Oswald did not manage to find work. This same October 14th, Ruth Paine discussed with neighbors, evoking the fate of Oswald in particular: an expectant mother and a husband who does not find work. One of the neighbors, Linnie May Randle, remembered that his/her young brother, Wesley Buell Frazier, had just passed through the same test and had found work with the Texas School Book Depository , a deposit of books which ensured the distribution of educational books. It thus suggested that Oswald tries its chance there. Ruth Paine called Texas School Book Depository ( TSBD ) where it is said to him that there would be perhaps a place. The next day, on October 15th, Oswald arised to the TSBD where it obtained a place of employee charged to fill the goods with order (Oswald lied by affirming that it had just had a honourable discharge Navy and that it had never had troubles with justice) and started to work on October 16th there.

Wesley Buell Frazier, which lived close to his/her sister, Ruth Paine, offered to him to convey it until at Paine when he wanted it, but Oswald decided to join his wife only the weekend, which he did for the first time on Friday, October 18. Sunday, Marina gave rise to their second child, Audrey.

During the next weekend, Michael Paine, the husband of Ruth, had a political conversation with Oswald and realized that in spite of his disillusion with regard to the socialist modes, he was still an enthusiastic Marxist who thought that the revolution forces was the only solution to install socialism. During the following weeks, the situation between Marina and Lee were degraded again, while the FBI of Dallas was interested again in Oswald because of its voyage to Mexico City. The Friday the 1st er November, the FBI went to the residence of Paine and questioned Marina. When Oswald even learned that the evening, it became very nervous. It had the impression to be badgered by the FBI, especially when a second visit took place next Tuesday, November 5th. Undoubtedly following these visits, Oswald went on November 12th to the office of the FBI to give an envelope to the agent which had been responsible for the investigation, James Hosty. This episode thereafter gave place to an act of dissimulation by the FBI, since the superior of Hosty gave him the order to destroy the note which, according to Hosty, contained a request to leave quiet Marina. This decision was undoubtedly made to avoid creating the least bond between Oswald and the FBI or a charge of bâclée investigation.

November 15th, Oswald could not go to Paine because Michael, the husband of Ruth, spent the weekend there (Paine were in divorce pending). During this weekend, Marina discovered that Lee had again written with the embassy of the USSR, and that it had been registered under a false name with its housing, and they disputed on the telephone on this subject.

November 19th, the Dallas Time Herald published the way which President Kennedy would use at the time of the crossing of the city. As Oswald had as a practice to read the newspaper of the day before which it recovered in the room of rest of the TSBD, it is supposed that it learned that the President would pass in front of the window of the TSBD the 20 or on November 21st.

On Thursday, November 21, Oswald broke with its routine and required has Buell Frazier if it could bring it at Paine it is there. During the evening, Oswald tried to convince Marina to come with him to Dallas where it would find an apartment. Marina however refused all her attempts at approach in which some saw an attempt on behalf of Oswald not to carry out the plan which had undoubtedly germinated in its head the very same day. When Marina rose the following day, on November 22nd, Oswald had left while leaving on the desk 170 dollars, and… its alliance.

The assassination of Kennedy

This morning of November 22nd, Buell Frazier noticed that Oswald embarked in its car with an oblong package, that Oswald claimed to be curtain rods. With 11:40, workers who posed a floor covering on the fifth floor noticed Oswald of the east coast of the stage.

Fifteen years after the assassination, an employee of the TSBD would say that she remembers to have seen Oswald in the room of rest of the first stage lunching with 12:15, but this testimony was contrary with its first testimonys and that of the people with whom she was at this time there and which does not transfer Oswald.

Another employee was on the 5th floor since it took his lunch there towards 12:00 - 12h15. He did not see anybody and then decided to join his colleagues on the fourth floor, from where they looked at the parade of the window right in lower part of that from where the shootings were going to leave (they testified to have heard the shootings above them and to have even heard the noise of rifle which one reloaded). The fact that he did not see Oswald can be explained by the fact that this one was hidden by piles of cases of books, arranged to completely hide the sight of the window of all the other points of the stage.

Between 12:00 and 12:30, several people transfer a man with the window of the fifth stage, though some transfer two of them.

To 12:30 precise, the President crossed Dealey Plaza and was assassinated.

The escape, the murder of J.D. Tippit and the arrest

A few 90 seconds later, Marrion Baker, a police officer who had precipitated in the TSBD to seek the gunner, somebody saw whereas it reached the first stage. The police officer was accompanied by Roy Truly, the owner of the TSBD, which identified Oswald and they continued to go up. Oswald then left the TSBD by the main entrance which would be closed only at least ten minutes after the assassination (whereas ironically, two passers by had gone voluntary to monitor the back accesses of the building).

Towards 12:40, Oswald got into a bus which was quickly blocked in circulation. He asked to the driver a correspondence and took a taxi to join his apartment where he took a beige wind-breaker and his gun. One is unaware of where Oswald went then, but it had gone a little more than one kilometer when it was intercepted towards 13:15 by J.D. Tippit.

According to the witnesses, Oswald killed J.D. Tippit whereas this one had left its car and approached him. Oswald left the places by emptying the casings of its revolver and by reloading it.

It was pointed out some streets further, whereas it hid in the hall of a store, police cars which passed in the street. The manager of the store foot-note his horse-gear and left to see where it went. He saw it entering without paying in a cinema with some steps from there. He then alerted the person in charge of the cinema which called the police force to announce the presence of a suspect individual in the cinema.

Several police cars arrived then and the police officers invaded the room. An police officer saw Oswald and ordered to him to rise. Oswald gave him a punch, left its revolver and tried to draw whereas the police officer girdled it, but the blow did not leave.

It was 13:50, Oswald was stopped and was first of all shown murder of Tippit. When the police officers realized that Oswald was the missing employee of the TSBD, he was also accused of the murder of the President. Oswald denied to have assassinated anyone. During its interrogation, he lied on several occasions to the police officers.

The murder of Oswald

November 24th, after 12 hours of interrogation of which few traces were preserved, Oswald was assassinated by Jack Ruby with 11:21 in the garages of the police force of Dallas and, moreover, live under the eyes of million televiewers whereas one was on the point of transferring Oswald from the cells of the police force towards the prison of county located to the corner Houston and Elm street to a step of the famous TSBD…

Oswald was buried on November 25th, 1963 with the cemetery Pink Hill at Fort Worth, the family having had difficulty in find a minister of religion and a cemetery to accommodate and celebrate scépulture of the assassin of President Kennedy.

In 1965, Marina married Kenneth Porter, a runner of stock because , and the two girls of Marina, Junie and Rachel, took finally the name of their new father-in-law.

In 1981, the body of Oswald was exhumed under the pressures of Michael Eddowes, a British author to confirm his assumption according to which the body buried under the stone " Oswald" with the cemetery Pink Hill was not that of Oswald truth, but that of a Soviet double. After autopsy-legal, Linda Norton, the doctor-legist of the county of Tarrant (Tx) finally confirmed that the idendity of the resting corpse with Rose Hill was well that of Lee Harvey Oswald and nobody of other.

Investigations

The Commission Warren and the House Select Committee one Assassinations (" HSCA ") concluded that Oswald had killed the President, though HSCA concludes that the assassination had been the result of a plot.

Culpability of Oswald in the assassination

The question of the culpability of Oswald in the murder of President Kennedy will never be solved, in any case judicially: its death, two days later of the attack stopped any action in its opposition.

However, the question remains posed, and one can examine it.

The indices which accuse Oswald

The following elements, of which some are circumstantial elements are likely to convince of the culpability of Oswald in the murder of President Kennedy.

• Oswald was classified as good shot in the Navy (its classification corresponds to the capacity of touching 8 times out of 10 a target of 25 centimetres to 182 meters (200 yards).

• Howard L. Brennan, a witness on Dealey Plaza recognized Oswald as being the man that he saw drawing from the window of the fifth stage of the TSBD.
• Divers witnesses saw with the window of the fifth stage of the TSB a man of which description corresponds to Oswald.
• Oswald was seen on the fifth floor of the TSBD approximately 35 minutes before the assassination and was not seen any more then nowhere until after the assassination.
• the Carcano found on the fifth floor of the TSBD was identified like having been bought by Oswald by correspondence, using same false name ( Alek Hidell ) that for the purchase of the revolver which killed Tippit and which Oswald carried on him at the time of its arrest, thus besides that of a false identity paper in the name of Alek Hidell (it was given that this identity paper, a rather coarse forgery, had been manufactured by Oswald when it worked at Jaggars-Chiles-Stovall in Dallas).
• the cases of ammunition found on the fifth floor of the TSBD were related to the Carcano.
• the drawn balls on the president were related balistiquement to Carcano.
• the drawn ball on the Walker general was bound by neutron Activation to the balls used in Carcano.
• the digital fingerprint of Oswald was found on rifle.
• Oswald wore the day of the assassination a cotton shirt blue, orange and gray and fibers of this shirt were found on rifle.
• Carcano was arranged in the garage of Paine, people among whom Marina, the woman of Oswald, placed.
• Contrary to its practices, Oswald had joined his wife at Paine the evening of the Thursday, November 21 and had spent the night there.
• Oswald left on November 22nd by leaving to his wife a considerable sum and its alliance.
• Of the witnesses, whose man who led Oswald to his work with the TSBD the morning of November 22nd, saw it transporting a long package packed in paper that he affirmed being of the curtain rods to put at his apartment (its apartment had already curtains).
• Oswald is known to have had behavioral problems and a tendency to violence as of its youth.

The indices which clear Oswald

the following elements are sometimes presented like likely to making doubt culpability of Oswald :

• the testimony of Brennan is partly debatable, in particular because he refused, initially, to identify Oswald formally.
• Oswald was seen in the room of rest of the ground floor lunching towards 12:10.
• However, this late testimony (made 15 years after the facts) was not confirmed by people who were in the room of rest at this time there.
• Oswald was seen approximately 90 seconds after the assassination, on the first floor, and it had the calm and not blown air.
• Oswald, to descend the staircase, should have crossed two women who went down at the same time.
• makes some, these people descended the staircase several minutes after the attack and could thus not have crossed Oswald.
• Oswald was photographed looking at the presidential procession of the entry of the TSBD.
• makes some, the man photographed, and who resembled Oswald vaguely, was identified like Billy Lovelady. This fact was confirmed by Lovelady and the photographic analysis made by the HSCA.
• the photographs of Oswald in its garden with rifle were faked.
• It is certain that these photographs are authentic: these charges formulated by a person without photographic competence were rejected by photographic experts, and Marina admitted that it had taken these photographs itself.
• the psychosis generated around Oswald involved it in the American press, consequently with the events.
• Oswald was stopped to have resquillé in a cinema, more than ten police cars having come to stop it, which shows the plot against Oswald.
• In fact, Oswald had been announced as behaving in a suspect way (hid police cars which sank towards the place of the murder of Tippit) by a person which then saw it penetrating in the cinema.
• the majority of the witnesses who saw a man in the window of the fifth stage of the TSBD described a young man but wearing a clear shirt without collar or a tee-shirt.
• It is not excluded that Oswald took off its shirt at this time to be more at ease. It wore, under its shirt, a white Tee-shirt with which it was photographed at the time of its arrest.
• the print of palm raised by the police force of Dallas is doubtful because it was not initially raised, then the weapon was entrusted to the FBI which did not raise anything, then the weapon was allocated to the police force of Dallas and it is at this time there that the print was raised.
