John Armstrong blasts the mail order rifle "evidence"

[David Josephs]

Ahh.... thanks for re-posting the teletype, DJ. No doubt I've seen it before, but this stuff takes time to absorb.

Despite the endless bs, I see no evidence whatsoever in publicly verifiable documentation from late November 1963 that Kleins ever possessed C2766. Do you?

The only verifiable evidence of C2766 are the 10 packing slips offered by Feldsott representing a shipment from Italy to Harborside storage and the packing list from the 5200 rifles.

What happens to that C2766 from that point is undocumented. Period.

It is not possible for those 10 slips to also be the packing slips from the fictitious Feb 22 shipment. They could not be offered as evidence from both men, 5 months apart... fopr two completely different things... In my work I discuss how the SOP was for Rupp to mail the packing slips..

Mr. BELIN. I'm going to hand you what has been marked as Waldman
Deposition Exhibit No. 3 and ask you to state if you know what this is.
Mr. WALDMAN. Yes; these are memos prepared by Crescent Firearms
showing serial numbers of rifles that were shipped to us and each one of
these represents those rifles that were contained in a case.
Mr. BELIN. Now, you earlier mentioned that these were packed with the case.
Mr. WALDMAN. Well, I would like to correct that. This particular company
does not include these with the cases, but sends these memos separately with
their invoice.


This could not be farther from the truth. We refer again to Rupp's FBI interview report
where he states that he places the packing slips inside the carton and pastes
one slip on the outside as well.

There is more to it of course, yet this is a great example of the limited evidence and its re-purposing.
