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

[Gary Craig]

Thanks for your effort, Gary.....But this list is irrelevant .....  The ONLY list we are discussing is the original list that was typed up in conjunction with the evidence inventory photo....

I sincerely hope that you can see that even though the original list is not dated....It was created on 11-22-63.    Is this clear to you?

No.

Abstruse and opaque.

No.

I am sorry to hear that....   Why is it that what should be so clear and easy to understand is Abstruse ??  Let's examine item # 5 .....

 Item #5 is  "1  Home made paper bag resembling gun case.            Found by Johnson and Montgomery at 411 Elm and brought to Crime lab."

 And sure enough the paper bag is shown clean as can be in the evidence photo... but on 11 -23- 63 the FBI ruined that nice clean paper bag and turned it a dark brown.     So since the paper bag is NOT dark brown we can know that this photo was taken BEFORE the FBI received it in Washington 11-23-63.

That may prove the photo was taken before the FBI used silver nitrate on the alleged gun case, but it doesn't prove when the evidence list

was typed up.

OK.....Then when do you think the list that lists only TWO spent shells (item # 9)  was typed up?

Well the first question you need to ask yourself, if you're trying to discern the date of the evidence list from it's content, is when did the DPD know the results of the parrafin tests on LHO's hands and face? If I remember correctly they waited 10 or 11 hours after his arrest to perform the tests. (That's past midnight) I think there would be a lag time between when they were done and when they would know the results. Some type of chemical analysis is needed, probably.

The last sentence on the list reads:

"Parrafin test made on Oswald, was positive on both hands and negative on face."

You're wrong....a Paraffin test needs to be taken ASAP....and the DPD took the tests at about 4:30.....and it takes about five minutes to determine if there are nitrates present....

Uh....hate to tell you this, but that's a left hand print. No doubt about it.
