BWF and LMR may not have been the only ones who saw LHO with a bag on 11/22/1963

Friends, there is obviously some documentation missing from this discussion:

Tell us what your reaction would be if the curtain rods had never been checked for Oswald's prints.

No different to our reaction to the fact that the apples in the Paine kitchen were never checked for Oswald's prints
-------------i.e. complete indifference! 

Because we understand the purpose of crime-lab fingerprinting in a criminal case. Don't you, Mr Chapman? 

[Bill Chapman]

Nice try! 

  Yep, that's the size I'm responding to, alright. Try to focus.

Anyway...
Buell estimation, quick glance. No incentive for him or sis to put themselves on the hot seat, as TomS has opined here. And as I have mused, albeit in plainer language, in the recent past.

Not to mention Buell's lament that he didn't want to be known as the guy who drove the prime suspect to work that day.

So you have no info on my asks

Anyone...?

[Tim Nickerson]

Can you kindly quote me to this effect, Mr Nickerson? Thank you! 

Sorry, I must have you confused with someone else.  However, since we're on the subject, if Oswald did carry curtain rods with him to work on the morning of November 22, 1963, why did he deny doing so? Oswald lied during his interrogations and interviews, saying that he never carried a long package to work that morning and that he never told Frazier that he brought curtains rods with him. Why would he do that if he had in fact carried curtain rods instead of the rifle? Does that make any sense at all?

[John Iacoletti]

I have been looking for information that would confirm that Buell, at any time, saw Oswald with the package fully revealed to Buell in a full-frontal perspective. Additionally, no one has been able to confirm that Oswald's free arm was in full view as he walked ahead of Buell.

Are you forgetting that Frazier saw Oswald getting the package out of the back seat and sticking it under his armpit before Oswald started walking?

In addition, I'm 6'-6'1" and can only get 22-23" jammed into my armpit and held in my palm. A 5'9" man would have to be a real knuckle-dragger to get a 27-incher to fit.

Good point.  That would suggest that 27" was an over-estimate.  He did say "two feet, give and take a few inches. "

[John Iacoletti]

Day must also have written '2 curtain rods' when he meant to write '2 Russian pamphlets', which were items 275 and 276 of the well-loved Soviet series 'Bedtime Stories by Comrade Lenin'. It is curious that these pamphlets are not officially inventoried anywhere, but there is obviously some documentation missing.

 

Right, this whole "it must have been an error because I want to believe something different" will only carry you so far.
