Craig DID see a mauser on the 6th floor. The only problem was that he saw it there in 1968 in his own imagination.
He also really DID see 3 spent shells neatly lined up in the snipers nest (in 1968 in his own imagination).
If people can imagine their own genders, why can't Craig imagine a mauser on the 6th floor?
If we could know the truth, I'd bet that Weitzman talked to Craig about his interview with FBI agent A1bert Sayers and Weitzman told Craig that he'd been handed the rifle that he and Boone had discovered and it was a 7.65 mauser, and that identification of the caliber was "STAMPED RIGHT THERE ON THE BARREL"
But Craig with his gargantuan ego made up the tale that he had seen that stamp when he was
"not more than six or eight inches from the rifle" when Day held it up to Fritz.
PS.... It is reported that Seymour Weitzman had psychological problems for the rest of his life following the coup d e'tat. Can anybody verify the rumor ?
