O H Lee and the Beckley Rooming House

[Oscar Navarro]

I haven't ever seen a word....or who they were. I do remember hearing about one individual but nothing in the Warren Report that I recall.
Walt mentions the Marsalis room and Mary Bledsoe. The Commission really found a doozy there.

If one can make it through Mary Bledsoe's transcript they would conclude that it was Helen Markham in another body. They both spoke like they were in an opium trance. I pity the court reporter that had to go through all that.

Walt mentions the Marsalis room and Mary Bledsoe.

The point I was trying to make is that "someone" was registered at Mary Bledsoe's rooming house as Lee Oswald....at the same time that Mrs Roberts was renting a room to OH Lee. 

Your point about Mrs Bledsoe saying that she would prefer to call Lee Oswald "Lee " is interesting....because Lee Oswald told Fritz that his goofy landlady was confused and got his name wrong.   We've been led to believe that Lee was referring to Mrs Roberts who thought he was Mr Lee....   And perhaps she did...but isn't it strange that it was Mary Bledsoe who wanted to call him "Lee"...   Or, Since O.H. Lee had rented a room and was registered at 1026 N Beckley at the same time that Lee was renting a room at Bledsoe's.... there's a distinct possibility that there were two men involved.....

The point I was trying to make is that "someone" was registered at Mary Bledsoe's rooming house as Lee Oswald....at the same time that Mrs Roberts was renting a room to OH Lee.

There's absolutely zero evidence that Oswald was renting at Mrs. Bledsoe's rooming house at the same time he was renting at the N. Beckley rooming house. The evidence has Oswald renting from Mrs. Bledsoe from Oct 7 through 11 when Oswald was kicked out of the rooming house for being the typical jerk that he was. Oswald stayed at Mrs. Paine's house that weekend and rented from Mrs. Roberts on Oct 11 under the alias of O. H. Lee. Oswald confided to Marina that he was using an alias because he didn't want the FBI to know where he lived and that is confirmed by the fact that in his application for the TSBD job he listed the Paine's address as his home address. It wasn't until Oswald was under interrogation that Fritz found out that he lived at the Beckley address and that was at 2:25 PM. Fritz then sends Lt. Cunningham and Detectives Senkel and Potts to the N. Beckley rooming house to search rhe place. it was not until 2:58PM that the search party arrives at the N. Beckley rooming house where they are met by Mrs. Roberts and Mr. and Mrs. Johnson. The trio are then asked by the search party if a Lee Harvey Oswald or an A. J. Hidell are registered there.

Mrs Bledsoe said that she asked the tenant to vacate after she heard him talking on the phone in a foreign language. 

Could it be that Lee was talking to his wife Marina . who didn't speak English?   Rather innocuous wouldn't you say?  But Mrs Bledsoe couldn't eavesdrop and listen to the conversation and that made her angry....

.

I'll have to amend that last part as there is no evidence that I can find the trio asked Mrs. Roberts and the Johnson's if a Hidell was registered there. The actual reference to Hidell comes from CE- 2003 page 245. This is the report of Detective B. L. Senkel who writes that he "checked registration book and did not find name of Lee Harvey Oswald, or name Hidell."

Yes, one of the reason's Mrs. Bledsoe didn't like Oswald was his peaking a foreign language on the phone but she mentioned other reasons too. She didn't like Oswald using the "icebox", interfering with her naps, and probably the last straw was that she thought Oswald was moving on Saturday morning because he was carrying his duffel bag. When She asked Oswald if he was moving Oswald said no and "probably" demanded his bedsheets be replaced and bed made. One can just picture that little weasel sneering at Mrs. Bledsoe as he makes this demand.

Mr Narvarro, You're so blinded by your blind bias.....I'll bet if you had been at Christ's crucifixion you would have been one of the first to start throwing stones as he hung on the cross....

There's that attempt to beatify Kennedy's killer again. Oswald would have pissed his pants in laughter if he knew there were people out there rooting for him and declaring his innocence and JFK would have been crushed.
