There is nothing "reasonable" about your possibility. In fact, it is quite laughable.

As usual you asked for speculation that only a seance can confirm one way or another, then worryingly you think you get to decide what is fact and fiction, now that is truly laughable.

   The risks of linking Oswald to the Walker shooting far surpassed any gains from a conspiracy perspective.   After his death, with the authorities satisfied of his guilt in the JFK assassination there would have been no need to falsely link him to Walker.
So you indeed admit the accusation was false?  ::)  No?
Then answer this.... why did they do it anyway?

....the Commission has concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald attempted to
take the life of Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker (Resigned, U.S. Army)
on April 10, 1963.  The finding that Lee Harvey Oswald attempted
to murder a public figure in April 1963 was considered of
probative value in this investigation...

A steel jacket bullet was pulled out of Walker's wall

MR. EISENBERG -- "Can you think of any reason why someone might have called this [CE573] a steel-jacketed bullet?"
MR. FRAZIER -- "No, sir; except that some individuals commonly refer to rifle bullets as steel-jacketed bullets, when they actually in fact just have a copper-alloy jacket."


Btw in 2 assassination attempts in Dallas in 1963 the shooter used FMJ bullets, bullets that were designed to be safer.

The Ballistics evidence is far from conclusive in the Walker investigation:

The Washington Post and Times Herald reported the Dallas Police had conducted ballistics tests linking Oswald's weapon to the Walker case on February 19, 1964. Yet the media was unaware the FBI had taken custody of the JFK bullet fragments before the DPD could undertake such testing. The FBI noted this and contacted Jessie Curry the Chief of Dallas Police. Curry who was repeatedly quoted to support the articles claims informed the FBI he "gave no such information to the paper...Chief Curry further advised the Dallas Police Department made no 'ballistics test' of this material."

The Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted a series of test to discover if the bullets from each shooting matched. The results of Bureau laboratory tests state "...the bullet recovered from the attempted shooting of General Walker was different from the lead alloy of a large bullet fragment recovered from the car in which President Kennedy was shot."

Dallas City County Laboratory investigator Floyd Alexander states he "...was only able to ascertain the types of guns from which the bullet could have been fired but that this was speculation on his part. He explained this was due to the fact he did not have any weapon with which to make a comparison. Alexander stated he subsequently...had been unable to definitely determine the type of gun that fired the bullet...as there was nothing on which to base a written report other than the above speculation."

The House Select Committee on Assassinations' firearms panel did not match Oswald's weapon to the Walker bullet, it found that it was similar as previous officials had. This does not exclude other weapons from having fired the bullet, it merely confines the projectile to similar types of weapons. Officials state the bullet "probably" was the type Oswald's rifle used, not definitively. Thousands of other weapons in the United States used this type of bullet as well.

Made a leisurely [7 or 8 mile] stroll at right shoulder arms? Maybe he took a cab? Then why need a map?

Where did I say anything about a map? I'm addressing why Oswald might have wanted Walker's phone number. Try to keep up.

You have not told us why it's laughable to you. Tell us a more efficient way to find out if Walker was home that night, if not by calling his number?

No, not allegedly.  It's part of her testimony.

So was his alleged outing to go visit Nixon.  :D

Oswald also had recon photos of Walker's home and gave Marina instructions on what to do if he was arrested or killed.

You mean the unsigned, undated note in Russian that doesn?t mention Walker?

Maybe it?s the steel-jacketed bullet the police found at Walker?s house...
