According to the original Mentesana film seen by Jim Garrison it was a rifle brought down from the roof and it had no scope on it.

And that film is no longer available?

Garrison must have been smoking when he saw a rifle being brought down. One more proof he was crazy.

Did any PO put a mark on that rifle before it left TSBD?
anybody know?

I'm pretty sure once Day took possession he figured why should he . Reading his testimony I get out of it that no one did. He most likely put his id on at the station.

The only film showing brought out the building is the Owen/WBAP film.

"One of many myths that will never go away no matter how soundly debunked."

As much as I hate to agree with you, Mr Hess.....I'm compelled to agree completely. There will always be gullible unthinking suckers who will argue that there was a mauser found in or on the TSBD......

Well said Walt. We don't always agree but you are right on this one.

We know that Weitzman,Craig,Fritz,Boone etc. all said the gun was a Mauser. Why the confusion? The dang guy with Fritz is looking at the gun with a MAGNIFYING GLASS at the 2 minute mark here while Fritz holds the gun and still can't ID the gun ? For real ? Fritz even points to a spot for him to view even further. So, these keystone cops even with a magnifying glass describe the gun as a Mauser. Is it ? I don't know...my question...why so hard? 5 cops and a police Captain can't correctly identify the gun even with a magnifying glass ? Finally, at the 2:55 mark is another non scoped gun in the picture as well...does it match the gun at the beginning of the Alyea film ?

When did Fritz say that the rifle was a Mauser?

Weitzman and Boone both admitted that they were mistaken.

Was Roger Craig a liar?

He says he saw "7.65 Mauser" stamped on the barrel of the rifle that was found....

Was he lying?

Yes, Roger Craig was lying.
