DVP - Take the Money Order Image to your bank and ask them if it was processed

[Jim Hargrove]

Oh, man, Dallas Postal Inspector/FBI informant Harry Holmes had all the materials, equipment and connections to have fabricated this money and to have inserted it into evidence. Some lowlights of Holmes's many contributions:

* Holmes was the first person to report the money order serial number after, he said, he located the stub in Dallas, although that stub disappeared, as did his memory of who gave it to him.

* Holmes reported that Oswald paid $12.78 for the MC rifle after locating a similar version in Field & Stream mag. The $12.78 purchase price held up for nearly a week, and was reported in many newspapers, until the Dial Ryder encounter didn't pan out and the rifle now had to include a scope, which increased the price. The new price, of course, magically appeared on the money order.

* Months before the assassination, Holmes informed SA James Hosty that Oswald was in touch with FPCC.

* Unlike anyone else present at Oswald's final interrogation, Holmes "heard" LHO say he had been to Mexico City AND that he had been shown a certain postal money order.

* Other than Marina, I can't think of anyone else more helpful in helping to create and 'splain the case against LHO.
