My analysis is based on a more accurate Bledsoe statement, given the fact that Rachel had yet to be born:

Bledsoe: And then we got inside the house and he had a thing where this---pictures of his wife and baby, and he said he was in the Marine Corps, and I tried to be nice.

a more accurate Bledsoe statement

If Bledsoe gave "more accurate" statements, she also must have given less accurate statements, right?

Wait? Doesn't that, by definition, make her an unreliable witness?

Chapman, who is your intended audience? Mrs. Bledsoe's first cousin Jake Germany, Jr. was first cousin of notorious  Dallas / Las Vegas enforcer and
alleged hit man Russell Douglas Matthews, associated with Jack Ruby through organized crime activity.

Dallas SAIC Sorrels had current access to SS protective research in the wake of recent, fatal presidential visit to Dallas. Consider that he had
access to much of the following detail....but not only permitted Mrs. Bledsoe to testify, anyway. In fact, he encouraged her!

?...
Mrs. BLEDSOE - Well, I thought, "Well, he is gone," and forgot it.
Mr. BALL - But, before you go into that, I notice you have been reading from some notes before you.
Mrs. BLEDSOE - Well, because I forget what I have to say.
Mr. BALL - When did you make those notes?
Mrs. BLEDSOE - What day did I make them?
Miss DOUTHIT - When Mr. Sorrels and I were talking about her going to Washington, he made the suggestion that she put all the things down on paper because she might forget something, and I said, "Mary, you put everything on a piece of paper so that you can remember it and you won't forget anything, you know, what happened," and that's when she started making notes.
Mr. BALL - You have made the notes in the last week?
Mrs. BLEDSOE - Yes.
Miss DOUTHIT - At my suggestion and Mr. Sorrels.
Mr. BALL - You didn't make any notes during the week he was there?
Mrs. BLEDSOE - No; I didn't pay any attention to him. ?.

Her father, Dr. John W Germany, married the first cousin of Mary Bledsoe's ex, 24 years Dr. Germany's junior.

Mary as a witness is confused, unpersuasive exactly where you discern clear meaning?

?Mr. JENNER - And--when and if he obtained employment?
Mrs. BLEDSOE - And so, that give me a lead, something to talk about, and I said, "Well, what kind of work do you do? "Oh, I do electronics," he said, and I said, "Well, there is some good jobs because you are young, and you can get a good job a young man like you."
And then went on. Then something about him being in the Marines, and I said, "Well, that is wonderful. My son was in the Navy." And talking about him, you know, just getting to know him, and--but, "here is a picture of my wife, and picture of the girl, and the baby." And I said, "Oh, she has got a baby, hasn't she?" And he said, "Yes."
And everything he said, I had to pull it out of him to talk about something for him to say what it was.
Mr. JENNER - But, he volunteered the picture of his wife and child?
Mrs. BLEDSOE - Yes; he did that. Showed me that picture.
Mr. JENNER - Was that an ordinary snapshot picture? ...

My intended audience is John I. Why are you wasting bandwidth when in fact Bledsoe saw Oswald on the bus (affidavit)

"The bus traveled West on Elm Street to about Murphy Street and made a stop and that is when I saw Lee Oswald get on the bus."

Where is Murphy Street?

in fact Bledsoe saw Oswald on the bus

That's only a "fact" when you believe and rely on an unreliable witness.

@Newbies: (Psst... she saw Oswald on the bus)


There is no evidence in the 26 volumes that supports the claim that LHO stayed at Bledsoe's boarding house. If you disagree then cite it.

There is a document that could show that either LHO or a double did stay there, but it would also show that he would have known Jack Ruby too since it shows he was fighting with him on October 11, 1963.

How does that change the fact that Bledsoe claimed to see a picture of his baby (not June) before she was born?

Bill Chapman is a biased researcher. I've called him out on it time and again here.

And yes, Bill, it *does* make a difference when you're biased.
