According to Bugliosi, (page 777 - Reclaiming History) LHO checked it out of the Oak Cliff branch library on 11/6/63. It was due back on November 13. But three months after the assassination it had not been returned. (CE 2642, 25 H 901-902).

That settles that. That FBI report also seems to imply that the Dallas library has no record of the books Oswald read either before or after his summer 1963 stay in New Orleans.

By the way, what do these numbers mean:

(CE 2642, 25 H 901-902)

I know the "CE 2642" refers to "Commission Exhibit 2642", but what do the other numbers and letter mean?

Warren Commission Hearings and Exhibits, Volume 25, pages 901-902

So the "25 H 901-902" is basically saying where CE2642 can be found in the 26 volumes that come with the Warren Report.

Is there some computer mechanism on, for example the Mary Ferrell website, where if I have an eyewitness account, say Abraham Zapruders WC testimony that i can type in "Zapruder" and it will give me a code like the above. In other words it will tell me in what page of what volume Abraham Zapruders testimony appears? I don't know how to generate these codes if i have a testimony i'd like to reference.

I'd like to be able to use the official reference code like this in future when directing someone to an exhibit or testimony.

Me too, but the McAdams website does not give you the codes.

We're talking his "mind" here. So don't forget, too, that he had his USMC ring on the day he was arrested.

His mind, as in: "I'm going to have my wife take photos of me holding up incriminating evidence such as a rifle and a Communist leaning newspaper. But 7 months later, because I hate all things 'Merica, I'm going to blow the president's head off...but I'll just wear my USMC ring on when I do so."

Sure, sure.
