What happened to the Mauser?

[Royell Storing]

The chicken stuff that was in the Smoker's Nook behind the SE corner window on the sixth floor  apparently was moved around a bit before it was gathered up to be taken to the DPD crime lab.  Perhaps it had been removed or moved to a different location and it wasn't there when Alyea saw the Smoker's nook....   Neither you nor I can know the exact details.... 

And Alyea's footage most certainly DOES show the Carcano lying on THE FLOOR on it's right side, with the butt plate parallel with the floor, and on a North South axis.  The leather sling was up......

That rifle was NOT jammed between boxes of books when Day picked it up by the leather sling that was right there at his finger tips...

   That's IF you believe Alyea was actually filming the Initial Retrieval of the Carcano and was not duped into filming a Staged Retrieval of the Carcano. The Alyea film Not showing an empty Carcano Clip extending from the bottom of the rifle, (as was later captured on Images of the Carcano as it was being carried from the TSBD by Lt Day), makes one believe the Carcano had been handled by law enforcement Prior to the Alyea footage.

No it doesn't . You're lying again.

    The Alyea footage Clearly shows NO CLIP extending/hanging out of the underside of the rifle. Lt Day and Fritz spun that rifle around as it was dusted for prints. They even jerked around on it as they ejected a live round from the chamber. Still NO CLIP visible. Yet, when Lt. Day parades out of the TSBD "POOF". We Suddenly have images showing a CLIP dangling from the underside of the Carcano. Definitely David Copperfield worthy work being employed that day.

   That's IF you believe Alyea was actually filming the Initial Retrieval of the Carcano and was not duped into filming a Staged Retrieval of the Carcano. The Alyea film Not showing an empty Carcano Clip extending from the bottom of the rifle, (as was later captured on Images of the Carcano as it was being carried from the TSBD by Lt Day), makes one believe the Carcano had been handled by law enforcement Prior to the Alyea footage.

The Carcano was discovered at 1:22 PM....Day was photographed leaving the TSBD with the Carcano at about 2:10  PM and he was at police headquarters with the rifle before 3:00 PM... 

When would a "staged Retrieval" have taken place??

But Alyea's footage DOES in fact show the clip in the magazine...  It's not hanging out of the magazine as it is seen in the photos of Day carrying the Carcano out of the TSBD, but it was in the magazine at the time that Alyea filmed  Detective Day dusting the rifle for prints behind the brightly lit west window of the TSBD...

That clip was not jammed or stuck or hung up in the magazine... I was freely sliding around in the mag as the rifle was handled...and by the time Day left the TSBD with the rifle it had worked it's way out to the point it was nearly ready to drop free of magazine.

Please take a look ...see for yourself....   That's why you were given the gift of sight.... Watch closely starting at the 0:33 point and through the 0:35 point....

    I have seen NO Alyea footage "showing" the Clip as you claim. If as You claim the Clip is: (1) "IN the magazine", and (2) "NOT Hanging Out of the magazine", how would it be visible in the Alyea footage?

A couple of years ago a poster in this forum posted a clip ( a single frame) of Alyea's film that showed Day working over the rifle behind the brightly lit west window and Day had the aperture of the magazine turned toward Alyea's camera...  Thelight colored brass clip was visible in the magazine.

Naturally that destroys many pet theories that rest on the clip being absent....and many cases of Cranium Rectalitis immediately surfaced and the suffering victims couldn't see the clip.
