Two Wallets? Nope.

[John Iacoletti]

Oswald's wallet, along with both Westbrook and Barrett, were inside Westbrook's office once Oswald was brought in. Let me say that again... All three (Oswald's wallet, Westbrook & Barrett) were inside Westbrook's office after Oswald was brought in. I believe Barrett is being honest when he says Westbrook asked him about Oswald/Hidell identifications inside a wallet. I just think Barrett is misremembering where it was that the brief conversation took place, i.e. inside Westbrook's office versus at Tenth & Patton.  All of this is covered in "With Malice" by Dale Myers.

People always "misremember" things at Bill's convenience.

It is, isn't it? Are we to interpret your response as "Thinking logically is beneath me" or "I have no answers"?

Perhaps you can provide the "logic" behind ordering a gun using an alias, killing the president with it, and carrying around an ID that day with that very same name on it.

Or is it only CT scenarios that have to pass the Lance Payette "logic" test?

There was always only one Oswald wallet

 

Oswald’s 5 wallets

1. the arrest wallet, FBI Exhibit B-1, which Dallas police said Oswald had in his pants pocket when they arrested him.

2. a brown billfold, FBI Exhibit 114, found in the house of Ruth Paine.

3. a red billfold, FBI Exhibit 382, found in the house of Ruth Paine.

4. a black plastic billfold, found in the dresser drawer of Marina Oswald's bedroom at the Paine house with $170 in cash.

5. the Tippit murder scene wallet described by Dallas FBI agent, Bob Barrett and Dallas Police Sergeant Kenneth Croy and depicted in film footage taken that day by television station WFAA.

Gerald Hill told the Commission that two names were read from the wallet (by Bentley) while in the car on the way to headquarters.

Gerald Hill was interviewed on the day of the arrest and said, “The only way we found out what his name was, was to remove his billfold and check it ourselves; he wouldn’t even tell us what his name was.” Later in the interview a reporter asked, “What was the name on the billfold?” Hill replied, “Lee H. Oswald, O-S-W-A-L-D”. No mention of Hidell. Why not?

Because, the guy's name was in fact "Lee Harvey Oswald". Duh!
