They may very well have shown Oswald CE142 — maybe even handed it to him — and told him that Frazier said Oswald carried it into work that day (which would have been a lie). Oswald naturally denied carrying that bag.

They may very well have shown Oswald CE142

This raises an interesting point....  When did Lt Day dust the brown paper with black finger print powder??   Clearly he would have had to have a reason to believe Lee had handled that paper.  ( it wasn't a bag)   Did Frazier ever say that the paper that he was shown had finger print powder on it??

And ever deeper goes the CTer rabbit hole bottomless pit of desperation.

And indeed Lee couldn't have carried a three foot long bag in the manner that Linne Mae described.

Mrs. RANDLE. He was carrying a package in a sort of a heavy brown bag, heavier than a grocery bag it looked to me. It was about, if I might measure, about this long, I suppose, and he carried it in his right hand, had the top sort of folded down and had a grip like this, and the bottom, he carried it this way, you know, and it almost touched the ground as he carried it.

27" wouldn't come anywhere near the ground unless he was using it for a pole-vault
34.8" bag comes just above the ground

'Almost touching the ground'--Randle
27" wouldn't come anywhere near the ground unless he using it for a pole-vault

Once again you demonstrate that you know absolutely nothing about this case.
Have you tried to hold a tape measure, set to 27'', in the way Randle described it? I seriously doubt it.
It does indeed almost touch the ground.

Thank you for displaying your obtuseness....

Only an idiot would believe that Linnie Mae could determine the weight of the brown paper from the distance on a dark and rainy morning.

27" wouldn't come anywhere near the ground unless he was using it for a pole-vault

Duh....Perhaps you should extract your head and LOOK at the BY photo It's a piece o cake to use the 40 inch rife with the distance to Lee's hip....  I believe that you'll find the distance is about 27 inches.....A 34.8 inch object would not fit in that space.

34.8" bag comes just above the ground 

This statement is true....For a man that is SEVEN feet tall.....

My working device
Device measures 34.6"
Close enough to 34.8"

Orange band at 27" leaves me (6'0") at least 8" to ground, for Oswald 5"
I wouldn't describe even 5" as 'almost touching the ground', let alone 8"

Randle's 'carry' description leaves some leeway re flexible hand, wrist and elbow positions.
'Like you do' does not cover a heavy rifle, and especially does not cover Oswald's probable intent to reduce the gun bag profile in the 'hood. And beyond.
