Blatburst-Roy, Carpenter and Holland

[Jim Hargrove]

As per the Corliss Lamont flyer, I don't quite get what you are trying to say. I thought that that flyer, along with other paraphernalia, was given to the FBI upon Oswald's arrest. Therefore it would not be in the DPD's hands at the time of the assassination. But the stamp on it was done with a rubber and ink stamp. And such a kit is in the WC volumes. Now if it did not belong to Oswald, who did it belong to?

And why would the FBI and WC put it there if it did not?

The FBI and WC relied on the whole 544 Camp street scene being covered up forever. This is why Ferrie was allowed to lie his head off to the FBI and why the WC never interviewed Banister or SAS. And why the FBI covered up the fact they knew that Shaw was Bertrand.

They understood how important all this was to keeping Oswald as the sociopathic communist they needed him to be. If not, a keystone of the cover up would collapse. Garrison screwed all that up for them.

Exactly! I can't disagree with a word you say, but that's why the stamp kit plant is so weird.

The kit clearly wasn't among Oswald's possessions at DPD headquarters the night of 11/22, and therefore it couldn't have been sent to Washington during the secret xfer of Oswald's possessions to the FBI during the wee morning hours of 11/23. But it sure as hell was among "Oswald's possessions" when the expanded items were secretly returned to Dallas a few days later, along with a Minox light meter, tax documents from Oswald's teen-aged years, and so on.

No doubt this is a minor point, but I've been puzzled about it for some time.
