3 x 5 Index Card that is item # 14 On the List

[Walt Cakebread]

Detective Day said that he spotted a print on the SIDE of the barrel about 3 inches back from the end of the muzzle end of the wooden stock.  The place that Mr organ has circled and drawn a line to....( the smaller orange circle) Is about 1/2 inch back from where the end of the wooden stock would be if the stock were on the barrel.




in the colored photo the bayonet groove is clearly visible .....The end of the bayonet groove is about 3 1/2 inches back from the end of the wooden stock.   So Lt Day guessed fairly accurately when he said he found the print about three inches back from the end of the wooden stock.

The only reason that I can imagine that Day used that 3 X 5 card in fabricating the tale about finding the print on the metal barrel is because he knew that  he had sent that card to the FBI and he thought that they would confirm his tale.

Just curious....  Why doesn't anybody but LNer's respond to this thread?   I'm 100% sure that the "print" on the 3 x 5 card was lifted from the wooden stock of the rifle...  It's so patently clear to me....Why can't others see it?

This statement is very poorly worded.....  I should have said... I'm 100% sure that the "print" on the 3 x 5 card was Not there on the night of the coup d e'tat.  But Detective Day had lifted what he imagined to be a "palm print" off the wooden stock when he was dusting the rifle for prints in the TSBD that afternoon.  Later they decided to use the 3 X 5 card as the lift he made in the crime lab.   They used a palm print of Lee Oswald that had been made on a flat surface and placed that lift on the 3 X5 card.      There was no identifiable print on that card that Day had created in the TSBD when the card went to the FBI at midnight 11 / 22 /63.

Question:.....   Is there anybody who can't see that the image on the 3 X 5 card is the bottom of the WOODEN foregrip with the bayonet groove clearly visible?

The silence is deafening.

The silence is deafening.

I simply can't understand why people can't see the obvious.  Perhaps because I own several carcanos so I can see exactly where the lift originated....I donno, it's perplexing.

The 3" X 5" white index card was item #14 on the evidence inventory list  of the evidence that the DPD released to the FBI at midnight 11 / 22 /63 .    Day had found what he imagined to be a palm print on the wooden foregrip of the carcano when he was dusting the rifle for prints just minutes after he picked the rifle UP FROM THE FLOOR   The foregrip is a logical place to look for prints on a rifle..... Tom Alyea said that he watched as Day LIFTED THE PRINT ( smudge) ......
