Green Beans, Peas and Inverted Carets

This is definitely not an inverted caret symbol, it is an ampersand symbol.

It sure looks like an ampersand symbol, but it still looks nothing like the very obvious ampersand symbol Hosty used on the 2nd page.

This is probably the best we can hope for from Billy Bob.....   He simply lacks the gonads to admit he was wrong.

[Walt Cakebread]

The time that Hosty wrote at the very top of the page is 3:15....(He verifies that time in his book  Assignment: Oswald.)

Hosty must have had Lee Oswald's rooming house address BEFORE the interrogation began because his first entry is "1026 N. Beckley room"  then the next item is "2515 W. 5th Irving "

Fritz tried to make it appear as though Lee Oswald was uncooperative and he tried to conceal the address of the rooming house....

Hosty had those addresses before Fritz started questioning Lee.....

Hosty must have had Lee Oswald's rooming house address BEFORE the interrogation began because his first entry is "1026 N. Beckley room"  then the next item is "2515 W. 5th Irving "

I don't believe I made my point clear in the above statement....

The point is:....Hosty knew that Marina resided at the house of Paine at 2515 W. 5th in Irving......But that address never came up during the early interrogation of Lee Oswald.   Therefore Hosty must have been jotting down those addresses from memory before the interrogation started.......

IOW.....Hosty KNEW where Lee was living in Oakcliff.....But lied and denied that he knew the address.

Walt,

I'm sorry, but yes it did. the Irving St. address was the first rattle out of the box when Truly gave it to Fritz at the TSBD, before Oswald had even been arrested.

Hosty's main involvement, rather his only involvement with Oswald was keeping tabs on his places of residence and employment, and the nature of his employment. It's too much of a stretch to accept he didn't establish the rooming house address via the phone number, as supplied by Ruth Paine.

I don't believe the Irving address of 2515 W 5th,  came up during the first interrogation......  That address is not mentioned in the FBI reports of Hosty, Bookhout or Clements for 11/22/63.

I'm not saying that Fritz didn't know that address after Truly gave it to him at the TSBD .....  I'm saying the address was not mentioned during the interrogation.. so how did Hosty know the addresses BEFORE the interrogation.  We know he knew the Irving street address....but he denied that he knew the rooming house address.....

Again, Bill, why do you believe Hosty would use an " inverted caret" mistakenly?
