I'm considering a series called "Follow the Footnotes," posting footnote references from the WCR that cannot confirm whatever open question is being asked in
"Appendix 12: Speculations and Rumors."
"Appendix 12: Speculations and Rumors."
Pay attention to the timeline the Warren Commission is up against. They want to be finished by July 1st 1964.
There are specific time setbacks in their process, March, June, and August 1964.
In these months questions came up on key items, that each time, had to be confirmed .
In these months questions came up on key items, that each time, had to be confirmed .
In March they were scrambling for TSBD evidence from co-workers and the curtain rods, the package etc.
In June it was trying to button down the SBT, it was the FBI trying to confirm the stretcher bullet, chain of evidence for the final report.
Also in June there was a call to ALL FBI to gather ALL JFK evidence with a confirmed CoE.
By August there are still many open items and so Appendix 12 was created as a place to address these concerns.
One by one they are listed as "Speculation" and answered as a "Commission Finding."
The finding has footnote references that are often times circular or simply imprecise.
Regarding a 7.65 Mauser being found, what actual reference of fact does the WC use to conclude none was found?
I follow the footnotes from the 900 page summary on a wild goose chase thru the 26 volumes to a circular solution..."it is said here; because we said it here..."Let us see:
7.65 Mauser 1909 sniper rifle
WCR page 646
Speculation.--The rifle found on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository was identified as a 7.65 Mauser by the man who found it, Deputy Constable Seymour Weitzman.
Commission finding.--Weitzman, the original source of the speculation that the rifle was a Mauser, and Deputy Sheriff Eugene Boone found the weapon. Weitzman did not handle the rifle and did not examine it at close range. He had little more than a glimpse of it and thought it was a Mauser, a German bolt-type rifle similar in appearance to the Mannlicher-Carcano. Police laboratory technicians subsequently arrived and correctly identified the weapon as a 6.5 Italian rifle. 31
The last line is the solution, right?..it's what we're looking for:
"Police laboratory technicians subsequently arrived and correctly identified the weapon as a 6.5 Italian rifle." right?
so for that we go to:
footnote ref. 31 is: See supra, pp. 79, 81
