John Mytton:
Iccy's pic looks legit.
To me both these look like they represent the same symbol.
Hosty's rough notes are just designed to be a reminder for when he makes a more detailed report later.
Does it make sense to write that Truly had a rifle and two others(rifles) wouldn't you just say Truly had three rifles?
Alternatively Hosty could be saying that Oswald told him Truly had a rifle and there were two others(people) who also saw the rifle?
Mr. BALL. Didn't he say that he had seen a rifle at the building?
Mr. FRITZ. Yes, sir; he told me he had seen a rifle at the building 2 or 3 days before that Mr. Truly and some men were looking at.
Mr. McCLOY. Did you notice that Oswald said in the course of his interview by Captain Fritz that he had not had a rifle but he had seen a rifle in the Possession of Mr. Truly?
Mr. HOSTY. Right.

I thought you were going to say that Fritz used a caret as well. :)
I noticed you didn't answer my question yet again.
i.e As I said before Hosty, probably wouldn't have known what a caret was.
And if he did why would he mistakenly use it?

If Fritz used a caret it would have been orange and huge...... And he would have used it in a threatening manner ...like threatening to insert it in a suspect's nose.....

--- Quote from: Walt Cakebread on January 26, 2018, 06:06:11 PM ---This attempt at changing what FBI Agent Hosty wrote is quite similar to Hosty trying to change the words on DPD Detective Jack Revill's memo to Captain Ganaway ......Hosty acknowledges that he told Detective Revill everything that Revill wrote in the memo ...except.. the last paragraph... Which says...
" Agent Hosty further stated that the Federal Bureau of Investigation was aware of the subject ( Oswald) and they had information that the subject ( Oswald) was capable of committing the assassination of President Kennedy."
Hosty denied saying that to Revill.... But he cannot explain why Revill would write that if he (Hosty ) hadn't said it.
Similarly the note about the rifle says what it says....."Mr Truly had rifle and two others"
It may help to add an adjective to the truncated entry.... Mr Truly had (THIS) rifle and two others...or...Mr Truly had ( THE) rifle and two others......

If Hosty had been referring to TWO other men when he wrote..." Mr Truly had rifle and two others..." Then when he referred to that note in writing his report why did he simply refer to those others as "individuals" and not specifically TWO other men.??
Here's how Hosty transcribed the information ...
"Oswald stated that he had observed a MR. Truly ( phonetic) a supervisor at the Texas Schoolbook Depository on Wednesday November 20, 1963, display a rifle, to some individuals in his office on the first floor of the Texas Schoolbook Depository, but denied ever owning a rifle himself."
Steve Thomas:
Can someone post Hosty's note without the top line cut off, or least give me a citation where I can go look at it?
Does that top line read 3:15, or 2:15?
Thanks,
Steve Thomas
