To get double their money's worth on sheep-dipping Oswald as a nut. The target wasn't the public. The target was persons or groups of interest and political targets that wouldn't know which side it was coming from. This was a cutting-edge intel program seeking maximum effect. Oswald was then switched to patsy in a presidential assassination.
We also tend to view such "why on earth" questions through modern filters. No one involved in the conspiracy had any reason to believe that information would be as readily available as it is today. They controlled the story (Mauser simply shifts to Carcano, no muss no fuss) and believed that their control would continue.
