What happened to the Mauser?

[Walt Cakebread]

    Basing anything on 1 single eyewitness does Not make it a Fact. Until the Brennan statement is corroborated, the shots being fired from a seated position as allegedly verified by law enforcement will stand. (No pun intended)

Would the fact that Arnold Rowland also reported that he saw a man STANDING behind a window on the sixth floor be corroboration for Howard Brennan's statement ?

And I would hasten to remind you that no kneeling gunman could have knelt between the window and the stack of boxes behind that window, so a gunman would have had to have knelt behind ( to the east of)  those Rolling Readers boxes ....and if he did that, then he could NOT decline the muzzle of the rifle low enough to hit a target down on Elm street.

       An eyewitness saying they saw someone standing and firing 3 shots from the snipers window vs an eyewitness saying they saw a person standing behind a window on the 6th floor = No Corroboration. You are doing yourself and CT's by extension a dis-service by attempting to Jam round pegs into square holes.

Weren't Rowland and Brennen completely separate accounts, with Rowland from the east sidewalk on Houston Street plus 15 minutes before the shots rang out, where Brennen was directly across on Elm Street and says he saw the end or last shot fired

Sure it was Tim.

I'll forgive you since you didn't even know that it wasn't cashed.

I got you covered, just tell everyone it was Ruth Paine's neighbor's fault, it works every time.

You don't need to forgive me at all. The money order was cashed. You obviously are new at this. If you had been engaged in the discussion three years ago, you would  know that the issue was put to rest then. It was debated in this forum, In McAdams' forum and on the ED forum. Actually, there were a number of issues with the money order that were put to rest. The claim that Klein's never bothered to cash the thing was silly to begin with. They were in business for many years and never would have been if they hadn't bothered to cash checks and money orders received as payment for products that they shipped.

Here is a US Postal money order from that period that was never cashed:



Here is the Klein's money order with Oswald's handwriting on it:



The uncashed money order is missing a File Locator Number, which it would have had stamped on it if it passed through the banking system and reached the end point which was the US Treasury Dept.. That is ,if it had been cashed at a bank.

138  J159796 is the File Locator Number that Oswald's money order received after it reached the US Treasury Debt. It had been cashed.

    Something that has NEVER been Replicated is Unproven.  It is merely a LEGEND. "When the Legend becomes FACT, print the Legend" applies to the SBT/Pristine Bullet. Until Replicated, it remains pure 

It depends on what you mean by replicated. It's certainly been established that three shots could be got off in 8.7 seconds with some degree of accuracy. The tests done for the WC and for CBS were attempting to get the three shots off in 5.6 seconds or less and they both had some success with speed and accuracy.

    Replicated would be: reproducing, exact copy.  You're use of the phrase "some success" would not meet the bar for "Proof". "Some Success" would be more along the lines of, "Close but No cigar". Per chance you desire to rephrase that? I included the condition of the Pristine Bullet which you have omitted above. No mystery there as to why.

You mean that Kennedy and Connally would have to be resurrected from the dead? Yeah, that ain't gonna happen.

I included the condition of the Pristine Bullet which you have omitted above. No mystery there as to why.

The bullet wasn't pristine. It was flattened longitudinally. Why did you omit that little detail?
