The deposit slip that was never stamped by the bank

[Jim Hargrove]

Sandy Larsen posted the following diagram on another forum showing how to decipher the Hollerith Code punches on the uncashed, unprocessed money order allegedly used to purchase the rifle.



Remember that this is the back of the form, and so everything is backward. Reading the round holes at left above from right to left, the holes represent the money amount: 02145, or $21.45. To the right, again reading from right to left, the square holes represent the serial number: 2202130462.

NONE of the punches represent processing by any other financial institution. Despite speculative posts by Brian Castle on Greg Parker's forum and by David Von Pein on EF, and others, the evidence is clear that this money order was never cashed, never deposited, and never processed by any financial institution.

Tom seemed to indicate above that the holes could have represented info from other financial institutions at a slightly different date, but I don't think this is true. At a very minimum, punched holes of this sort would have to represent the financial institution routing number, or name and distinguishing address, and a date, and that would require quite a few more punches.

All the above was started by John Armstrong's write-up that can be read here: http://harveyandlee.net/Guns/Guns.html

I should have added information about how real financial documents from "Lee Harvey Oswald's" era were handled. Below are photostatic copies of vouchers issued to Lee Harvey Oswald by the Texas Employment Commission. Note all the stamps, front and back, by various financial institutions that processed the documents.



USPS money orders, like other financial documents, could be processed by banks, post offices, and some other financial institutions, requiring a variety of stamps indicating the processing. Note all the financial institution stamps on the front and back of the cancelled paychecks shown below from Leslie Welding to "Lee Oswald."

[size=12]A number of people have been trying to debunk John's simple analysis of the fraudulent money order, but all these people offer is pure speculation, unsupported by the simple evidence. This isn't complicated.
