Title: Handwriting authentication
Post by: Martin Weidmann on July 05, 2022, 08:20:16 AM
In the new thread "Bogus evidence of bogus evidence" Jerry Freeman quotes from what I believe to be an article written by Earl Golz.

In the article he writes;

The FBI said without the original letter it would be "almost impossible to certify whether it is genuine or not," the Justice Department source said.

***"And they' (FBI) said "that Oswald has a childlike handwriting and it's easily forged,” the source said, "so they
just can't tell.”

The FBI declined to directly comment on the [Hunt] letter's authenticity. In 1964, the FBI repeatedly identified
handwriting on documents as Oswald's during the Warren Commission investigation. The agency also determined
in several cases that year that signatures of cranks on guest books around the country were not Oswald's.


There seems to be a massive contradiction here. On the one hand, you have an FBI expert confirming Oswald wrote the Kleins' order form documents, while having nothing more available to him than a photocopy of those documents (with limited text), allegedly taken from a, now lost, microfilm.

On the other hand, you have the FBI saying, about the Hunt letter (which contains far more text) that without the original it would be "almost impossible to certify whether it is genuine or not".

If the latter is indeed a quote from the FBI, then why didn't that apply to the documents examined by their expert for the Warren Commission?

Excellent question Martin,    I believe that we all are capable of identifying the author of some piece of correspondence by seeing the hand writing , providing there is sufficient text.   I seriously doubt that anybody can identify the person who ordered the carcano from Kleins by examining the order blank.      The FBI claimed they could identify that scribbling as that of Lee Oswald.    I believe they are liars..... I also believe that the "Dear Mr Hunt" note was in fact written by Lee Oswald.....

The HSCA handwriting identification experts could not positively identify the writing on the Hunt letter as being Oswald's. They pointed out that what they had at their disposal was a photograph of an out-of-focus facsimile copy of the letter. Kleins' order form documents were made directly off of microfilm.

And when it comes to handwriting authentication, what would be the major difference between a facsimile copy and a photo copy taken from a microfilm?

The answer of course is that there is no difference whatsoever. In both cases the handwriting expert only had a copy to work with and as I stated before the FBI's position (about the Hunt letter) was that "without the original it would be almost impossible to certify whether it is genuine or not".

This is exactly what handwriting experts I have spoken to have been telling me all along and calls into question the alleged "identification" of Oswald's handwriting on the Kleins' documents.

Nothing all that 'fuzzy' with the newspaper clipping.

Also states that George DeMorenschidlt was one of the conspirators. However--- interesting that the HSCA had no apparent interest in the search of the contents of the house where he died [reportedly a suicide]
Funny that the article states that... Why would oil men want to kill Kennedy?
'Accepts' the claim BTW that Oswald killed JFK because he was disappointed in American life.

Of course my question is germane. You just don't like it.

When it is the FBI's position that "without the original it would be almost impossible to certify whether it is genuine or not", then it doesn't matter if we are talking about a photo copy from a micro film or a photograph of a facsimile copy.

Besides, if the FBI received the original from Hunt, as Walt tells us, then the HSCA could have obtained the original from them, if they wanted to.

In his book HL Hunt's personal aide said that Mr Hunt gave the "Dear Mr Hunt" note directly to the FBI.
Actually, Currington stated that Hunt 'instructed' him to turn the note over.
Quote
One of the incidents Currington shared dealt with the infamous Hunt letter. According to Currington, the letter actually showed up in Hunt's interoffice mail system shortly after the assassination. Currington was instructed by Hunt to turn it over to the FBI. Currington's view is that Hunt feared that Oswald was possibly a listener to his Life Line radio program or was a reader of Facts Forum, his right wing newsletter. Both of these vehicles spread his pro-fascist and racists views as well as his hatred of Kennedy. There is evidence that Currington had previously produced a copy of the Hunt letter, published in the National Enquirer, in the 1970's soon after Hunt's death

  If this is true, and there is no reason for Currington to make it up, that means that the note was certainly written to H.L. Hunt and not E. Howard Hunt. It also means that the KGB couldn't have forged it to embarrass the CIA during the Watergate fiasco since the letter had already been in existence since 1963. Thus it was written before the assassination and not forged later. Further, it confirms that the FBI kept it secret for fourteen years! One wonders if the CIA leaked it to the press at a time when they were under fire for Watergate and accusations were surfacing that they were involved in the assassination, to take the heat off themselves and shift it to the Texas oil men.

Thanks for the great post, Jerry....  I believe the links you provided are much closer to the truth than the Warren Report....

Why would HL Hunt want Hoover to have the "Dear Mr Hunt" letter ???    Because he wanted J. Edgar Hoover to know that he (HL Hunt) was the Kingpin.....  And the man that Hoover should reward for the assassination of JFK.  Hunt wanted Hoover to know that it was he who had set Oswald up as the scapegoat. 

Like all assassins, who believe they are doing a great service to their country .... Hunt believed that JFK was destroying America
and said that "the Kennedy's have to go"....   Hunt had the power and the money to eliminate those he hated....And like all assassins he wanted someone to know that he was to be credited.   ( Lee Oswald repeatedly denied that he had killed anybody)

Handwriting identifications made using non-original documents are admissible in courts of law. The FBI handwriting identification expert that examined the Klein's documents was asked about using non-originals during his WC testimony:

Mr. EISENBERG. Are you able to identify the handwriting of an individual on the basis of a photograph of that handwriting?
Mr. CADIGAN. Yes.
Mr. EISENBERG. Would you make an identification, such an identification, if your only questioned document was a photograph if the photograph was sufficiently clear?
Mr. CADIGAN. If the photograph is sufficiently clear, it is adequate for the handwriting comparison.
Mr. EISENBERG. Similarly with standards, if your only standard was a photograph or your only standards were photographs?
Mr. CADIGAN. If your standards were also photographs, it is possible to make the comparison and arrive at a definite opinion.
Mr. EISENBERG. And were the photographs in this case, both the standard and the questioned documents, clear enough to form the 'basis of an opinion?
Mr. CADIGAN. Yes. I might point out that some of the known standards are original documents and not photographs.
Mr. EISENBERG. Yes; I am aware of that, but I wanted to set out on the record whether the standards which are photographs are adequate----
Mr. CADIGAN. They are adequate.


Alwyn Cole, questioned documents expert with the the U.S. Treasury Department, was also asked about it during his WC testimony:

Mr. EISENBERG. Mr. Cole, I now show you a photograph of an envelope and a purchase order. The envelope is addressed to Klein's, in Chicago, from one"A. Hidell," and the purchase order, which is included in the photograph, is order also addressed to Klein's from "A. Hidell," and I ask you whether you have examined this photograph.
Mr. COLE. I have.
Mr. EISENBERG. Mr. Chairman, may I have this admitted into evidence as Commission Exhibit 773?
The CHAIRMAN. It may be admitted.
(Commission Exhibit No. 773 was marked and received in evidence.)
Mr. EISENBERG. For the record, this photograph was produced from a roll of microfilm in the possession of Klein's, a Chicago firm which sells weapons of various types, and which sold the assassination weapon. Now, Mr. Cole, I am going to hand you a group of documents which I will identify for the record. The first is an application form to Cosmos Shipping Co., Inc., signed Lee H. Oswald, and containing handprinting and cursive writing. Have you examined that document, Mr. Cole?
Mr. COLE. Yes, sir.
.........
Mr. EISENBERG. Does a photograph in your opinion provide a sufficient standard on which to base a conclusion as to a questioned document?
Mr. COLE. Well, I believe these particular photographs are satisfactory for that purpose.
Mr. EISENBERG. Would you draw a conclusion as to the origin of a questioned document if your only standard was a photograph?
Mr. COLE. If the photographs were comparable to the photographs we have in this case; yes.

Item 47.

Findings and conclusions of Joseph McNally:
https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=961#relPageId=239

VIII. The signature, "Lee Harvey Oswald," on the Hunt note (item 47) does not correspond to the Oswald signatures described under section I. To begin with, the bulk of the documents which are signed with the full name, "Lee Harvey Oswald," are more formal in tone. For example, the full name appears on all but one of the Marine Corps documents. The full name appears infrequently elsewhere-usually only the first name, middle initial, and last name are used. Further, in the Hunt note, the middle name "Harvey" is misspelled-the "e" appears to be missing; the "H" of "Harvey" differs from that found in the section I signatures; the "ar" of "Harvey" is ellided to a point that does not occur in any section I signatures; the "0" of "Oswald" is retraced part of the way along the left side, not true of the section I Oswald signatures; and the ending "d" of Oswald is smaller than the preceding "l", whereas most of the ending "d"s of the section I signatures are taller than the "l" (only in signatures that appear to be "squeezed-in" is the end "d" shorter than the preceding "1").

While the script writing on the Hunt note is similar in pictorial quality to the writings under section II, the format of the note differs from that of the notes and letters of section II. The writing line is so exact as almost to give the impression it has been made on a ruled line. Usually Oswald writes in an arhythmic manner--for example, with an irregular and crooked writing line. This writing creates the jumbled effect apparent in the section II documents.

From the examinations of item 47, it was determined that the signature does not correspond with any of the Oswald signatures of section I. Similarly, the writing does not correspond to that in the section II Oswald documents.

Findings and conclusions of David Purtell:
https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=961#relPageId=243

Item 47 was a photograph of an out-of-focus facsimile copy. Instead of having clear discernible lines, the copy has indistinct and blurred outlines. Such a muddy and unclear copy gives the appearance that it might have been so made for a purpose.

It should be noted that pictorial similarities can still be noticed between the handwriting appearing on items 18, 29, 39, 40, and 41 listed above, and the documents that have been identified as being written by one person (see A, B, and C). While the handwriting appearing in item 47 contains some of the pictorial similarities, the quality of the writing appears different, and the signature has a strange and distorted appearance


Findings and conclusions of Charles Scott:
https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=961#relPageId=250

It is impossible to determine positively whether the letter to Hunt (item 47) is or is not in the handwriting of the same person as the other writings purporting to be Oswald's.

Mr. COLE. If the photographs were comparable to the photographs we have in this case; yes.


Handwriting identifications made using non-original documents are admissible in courts of law.

In which court were the opinions of those FBI experts admitted?

I don't care much for the selfserving opinions of Cadigan and Cole. Of course they are going to say what they said. If they didn't their own testimony would have been rendered worthless.

Better educate yourself before you write another post, Tim. Contact some real life independent handwriting examiners and ask them. They will tell you that their conclusions are never absolute. They work with levels of probability.

This is the give away that Cadigan is full of it;

Mr. EISENBERG. How would you evaluate the possibility of another person having simulated the handwriting of Lee Harvey Oswald in these questioned documents?
Mr. CADIGAN. I don't think there is any possibility.
Mr. EISENBERG. On what do you base that?
Mr. CADIGAN. I base that on 23 years experience and judgment and the examination of the documents and the various writings involved in this instance.


Even the biggest fool understands that when you have a photocopy, there is always a possibility of manipulation. For him to claim there is no such possibility only discredits everything else he said.

Better educate yourself before you write another post, Tim. Contact some real life independent handwriting examiners and ask them. They will tell you that their conclusions are never absolute. They work with levels of probability.

This is the give away that Cadigan is full of it;

Mr. EISENBERG. How would you evaluate the possibility of another person having simulated the handwriting of Lee Harvey Oswald in these questioned documents?
Mr. CADIGAN. I don't think there is any possibility.
Mr. EISENBERG. On what do you base that?
Mr. CADIGAN. I base that on 23 years experience and judgment and the examination of the documents and the various writings involved in this instance.


Even the biggest fool understands that when you have a photocopy, there is always a possibility of manipulation. For him to claim there is no such possibility only discredits everything else he said.

Ok, you don't like Cadigan or Cole. I'll try to remember that. I'm not surprised though. McNally, Purtell, and Scott were all independent handwriting examiners. They all had private practices.

Yes indeed. It was a moot point.


McNally, Purtell, and Scott were all independent handwriting examiners. They all had private practices.

Yes indeed. And they do not support your "a copy is good enough" position, as they compared the handwriting on the back of the original the DeMohrenschildt BY photo with a signature on an original passport application dated June 24, 1963 and an original signature on a fingerprint card, which were both assumed to having been written by Oswald and they concluded that all were written by the same individual.

Ms. BRADY. Mr. McNally, did the handwriting panel compare the writing on the rear of the photograph with the signature on the passport application?
Mr. McNALLY. Yes; we did.
Ms. BRADY. What conclusion was reached by the panel about those two documents?
Mr. McNALLY. We concluded that the writing--particularly the signature of Lee Harvey Oswald on the lower lefthand corner on the back of the photograph and the signature Lee H. Oswald on the passport application--all of these signatures were written by one, the same individual.

Wow!

They had no way of knowing with any certainty that the handwriting on the passport application and/or the fingerprint card were authentic and had indeed been written by Oswald, or by anybody else, and they had no way to authenticate either document, which makes their conclusion, although perhaps true, irrelevant as evidence derived from unauthenticated other evidence can itself not be deemed to be authentic or conclusive.

I may have missed it in McNally's HSCA testimony, but I couldn't find where he actually said that the person who wrote those three documents was indeed Lee Harvey Oswald. Perhaps you can help me out here, Tim?

And btw; did you notice how the findings and conclusions of Charles Scott:

https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=961#relPageId=250

It is impossible to determine positively whether the letter to Hunt (item 47) is or is not in the handwriting of the same person as the other writings purporting to be Oswald's.

are along the same lines as what the article said about the position taken by the FBI;

The FBI said without the original letter it would be "almost impossible to certify whether it is genuine or not," the Justice Department source said.

"And they' (FBI) said "that Oswald has a childlike handwriting and it's easily forged,” the source said, "so they
just can't tell.”

Just like I believe the 'Oswald' 1963 passport application was faked and also the passport...'his' Mexico visa application was and the firearms orders were.

I'm disappointed that you believe the "Dear Mr Hunt" note is a fake.     I believe that it is authentic and the "Mr Hunt " is HL Hunt....   
John Currington knew this and wanted us to know that HL Hunt had been in contact with Lee Oswald before the assassination.

Currington didn't want to take his secret to the grave .....   He had information that he felt the people should know.

If Currington had thought the note was a fake, I seriously doubt that he would have included it his book.

Why? Why would LHO write this note to HLH [and make sure it was dated]?
The note does tend to incriminate Oswald for a planned crime that he was never aware of.
If JC "wanted us to know that Hunt was in contact with Oswald" then why wait for years to present it?
Withholding evidence is a crime.
Where is that original note? How would Hunt and Oswald ever have met?
Why would Oswald use his real name instead of signing the note with the alleged alias...A J Hidell?

Since Tim seems to respect the opinion of David Purtell:

“Photocopies have several limitations. They do not reproduce all the fine details in handwriting needed in making an examination and comparison. At best, they do not produce as sharp an image as a properly produced photograph, and they lack tonal gradations, a result of the contrasting process of reproduction. In addition, it is possible to incorporate or insert changes and alterations into copies. A method frequently used is to paste together parts of documents to make one fraudulent document, which is then copied. If the first copy can pass inspection, it will be used; if not, it will be reworked to eliminate all signs of alteration. This amended copy is then recopied for the finished product. This is usually referred to as the "cut and paste" method. Document examiners only render a qualified or conditional opinion when working from copies. They stipulate that they have to examine the original before a definite opinion will be made.”

No , Lee didn't want to talk to Mr Hunt about some trivial matter,  I agree , you're right .....  Lee wouldn't have wanted to talk to HL Hunt about some trivial matter.... The very tone of the note indicates that he was worried ......

And we are left to speculate about the subject that Lee wanted to discuss.....  Since we all have 20-20 hindsight and we know that JFK was murdered less than two weeks after Lee wrote the note we can easily suspect that the note was related to the assassination....But there is NOTHING in that note that even hints as such a possibility.

I strongly suspect that Lee had picked up info that The Dallas Birchers or minute men were planning something for JFK's visit to Dallas. I believe that Hunt knew that Lee Oswald had been involved in the hoax attack on Walker and thought that maybe he could recruit Lee to participate in another dumb stunt.

Tim,

Conclusions by experts are always questionable to some degree. In many cases the two sides will present their own experts who will provide completely contradictory conclusions about the same evidence.

That said, the conclusions they made on original documents were not the subject of this conversation. An expert can be a thousand times right on other original documents and still be wrong on a non-original. And besides, can you explain how an original signature on an original document can be authenticated to having been written by a now dead person?

And finally, whether you say that their conclusions about the Kleins' documents are "minorly" or "highly" questionable, you're only talking about the degree of questionability. In either case the bottom line is that those conclusions are in fact still questionable! Agreed?

All handwriting analysis is questionable. But in this case, the only handwriting that purports to connect Oswald personally to any Carcano is the copy of the 2-inch order coupon from the missing microfilm. And not only is it a copy, but it’s a tiny sample written in block letters.

By my observation, a quick look at the Kleins order and another Oswald document (seen on 'Texas History') reveals the 'D' in Dallas could easily be from the same person  And the way he handles the 'T' in 'Texas' (along with the prominent slash included in the 'x') is unique and repeated on at least one competing Oswald document.

You have ignored the far more telling item, which is not only in the way he writes the 'T' in 'Texas', but the way that his cursive capital 'T' in two other words display the exact same odd-looking 'T' as on the MO. Apparently Oswald missed the 'cross your tees' memo

The objective is to exonerate Oswald.  Not to figure out who was behind the grand conspiracy.  Why?  Because any analysis of the facts and evidence of this case can't be reconciled with any consistent conspiracy narrative.  So the objective must, by necessity, be limited to pedantic, defense attorney-like nitpicking of the evidence against Oswald even if, by implication, what is being suggested as an alternative makes no sense.

the MC rifle that the history books conclude was used to kill JFK.

Don't you know that the victor writes the history books?   In this case the victor was LBJ.... and it's his story...

LBJ writes the history books?  I thought folks like Robert Caro did that.  The foremost historian on LBJ who found no evidence of his involvement in the JFK assassination despite spending decades in the archives.

My dear dumbass....Perhaps it will come as a surprise to you but ......LBJ formed the Warren Commission, and he told them that he wanted them to find that Lee Harvey Oswald was the assassin and he acted alone and had no accomplices......

Actually the commission was tasked to make sure there was no conspiracy and that Oswald had no compatriots.
That memo was badly written, just as 'the right to bear arms' was.

In the new thread "Bogus evidence of bogus evidence" Jerry Freeman quotes from what I believe to be an article written by Earl Golz.

In the article he writes;

The FBI said without the original letter it would be "almost impossible to certify whether it is genuine or not," the Justice Department source said.

***"And they' (FBI) said "that Oswald has a childlike handwriting and it's easily forged,” the source said, "so they
just can't tell.”

The FBI declined to directly comment on the [Hunt] letter's authenticity. In 1964, the FBI repeatedly identified
handwriting on documents as Oswald's during the Warren Commission investigation. The agency also determined
in several cases that year that signatures of cranks on guest books around the country were not Oswald's.


There seems to be a massive contradiction here. On the one hand, you have an FBI expert confirming Oswald wrote the Kleins' order form documents, while having nothing more available to him than a photocopy of those documents (with limited text), allegedly taken from a, now lost, microfilm.

On the other hand, you have the FBI saying, about the Hunt letter (which contains far more text) that without the original it would be "almost impossible to certify whether it is genuine or not".

If the latter is indeed a quote from the FBI, then why didn't that apply to the documents examined by their expert for the Warren Commission?

Handwriting can easily be forged especially when you don't have an original copy and it's a photocopy that's being presented.

Forged copies are always photo copied trying to make it appear genuine.

Oh, but I have. Much more than you will ever know.
You on the other hand have only acquired the skill of lying.
First you falsely claim to be a succesfull artist, now you claim to having been a handwriting expert.
What will be next?

You on the other hand have only acquired the skill of lying.

First you falsely claim to be a succesfull artist, now you claim to having been a handwriting expert.

What will be next?
_Probably/likely/feasibly more instant, automatic personal attacks from you.

This took you two hours to write? Really? I saw in your profile that you started "Posting in...." some 10 minutes after I have written my post. Go figure.


So desperate for recognition and continuously showing the same "evidence".... probably the only thing you've ever done before disappearing in total obscurity.

It was easy to notice. Just after I had posted your name popped up at the "Users Currently Browsing This Topic:" section.
So, at that moment I knew you were on line, despite that fact that it was the middle of the night in Canada.
A short visit to your profile told me what you were doing.

You are boring me.

I'm having a far more interesting conversation with a toddler right now.
Get back to me when you have a life, a career and at least a little bit of credibility.

OMG, there you are again, sitting there waiting for me to show up, all excited & giddy about your toddler equals and keeping track of Canadian time.

_ A stalker is a stalker. No 'short visit' is going to get you off any stalker list

You and Herr Beck are the victims
Two heads are not better than one in CT DorkLand
It simply means you brainiacs are twice as stupid as we LNers thought

And when you go running to IacLOLetti, I score an easy Gordie Howe hat trick*

* A goal, an assist and a fight
   Wait a minute.. I can't see any of you scoring anywhere, assisting anyone, or fighting anybody
   Just what the hell are you nerds good for (OR AT) anyway? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Stupid:   Very slow of apprehension or understanding; mentally sluggish....  example:... a person who believes that fairy tales like the Warren Report are true.

As usual, Chapman pretends to be an authority about something he doesn’t even understand.

Thanks again for another irrelevant contribution to the discussion though.

Can you ask a more targeted question? Exactly which 'something' are you whining about now?

There was no question being asked at all, but I have one for you, now. Is this a good example of you not thinking?
