The FBI reported that the "tuft of fibers" that they found on the butt plate pf the Mannlicher Carcano matched the shirt that Lee was wearing at the time he was dragged from the Texas theater. And they inferred that it was evidence that the tuft of "fresh" fibers were caught on the butt of the rifle when Lee had the Carcano against his shoulder as he fired the rifle and murdered President Kennedy.
The problem with their story is:.... Lee was NOT wearing the arest shirt at the time that JFK was murdered! He went to his room at 1926 N. Beckley and removed the soiled shirt that he was wearing at the TSBD that morning and donned the shirt that he was wearing when he was dragged from the Theater by the conspirators.

The rifle should have been covered in blanket fibers.This one puzzled me.....
About 3 hours after the assassination, a detective and deputy sheriff saw the blanket-roll, tied with a string, lying on the floor of the Paines' garage. Each man testified that he thought he could detect the outline of a rifle in the blanket, even though the blanket was empty.113 Paul M. Stombaugh, of the FBI Laboratory, examined the blanket and discovered a bulge approximately 10 inches long midway in the blanket. This bulge was apparently caused by a hard protruding.....p 128 https://www.archives.gov/research/jfk/warren-commission-report/chapter-4.html#fibers
My recent topic title 'A Tale of Two Shirts' was inspired by the title of a book called 'A Tale of Two Cities'I doubt that Chapman ever read "A Tale of Two Cities". However, Charles Dickens could have probably written the Warren Report and done a much better job.
Why would someone remove a supposed rifle from said blanket and then leave or re-tie the blanket with said string...carefully leaving said protrusions intact?

This was one of the weaker points in the Warren Report. The tuft of fibers could have been there for weeks.
A question the Warren Commission never answered is how come there was no blanket fibers on the rifle. Afterall, it was supposedly wrapped, with a tight string, for weeks before the Thursday night. No blanket fibers means Oswald didn't necessarily get it the night before from the blanket, which supports the idea the 27 inch package Oswald carried in to work on the Friday morning did not contain the rifle.

The blanket was threadbare.And you know this how?

What's the changing of the shirt based on? No hole in the elbow in photos taken at DPD?Mary Bledsoe said she saw a hole in the right elbow of the shirt when Oswald supposedly boarded her bus.
