Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

 

Do you realize the implication of saying that Ruby's soiled underwear were put in Bin Number N-30? Although on this on, the N30 is crossed out and replaced with N18. This ridiculous property invoice was done multiple times, multiple ways, and in different colors, and with different stamps and scribblings.  But, if the bins went up to letter N, that means there had to be bins A through M. You know, like the Cat in the Hat, with little cats O,P, Q, etc. And since the Ns went up to 30, at least, we have to assume that all the other letters did as well. So, it means that the Dallas PD was crawling with all these bins containing the clothes and belongings of their detainees, and that they had to keep track of all the stuff and return everything to their rightful owner- somehow. 

And since, they were replacing shoes, and feet come in all different sizes, it means that they must have had a shoe room bigger than that of a major bowling alley. 

"Let me guess, Jack: I bet you're a 10 1/2 D. Am I right?"

But, the worst thing of all is that if you're going to take a man's soiled, sweaty underwear, l hope to God you have enough sense to put it in some kind of hamper and launder it. You don't just put dirty underwear in a bin. 

So now, we also gotta have a big laundry there at the DPD: washers, dryers, etc., 

Now, in reality, this was just a very stupid ruse that was thought up by a very stupid man who never thought that 58 years later, anyone would be questioning his designation of N30 or N18 as the bin destination of Ruby's stuff. And maybe he thought it added a nice touch to cross out the N30 and make it N18, but what about the other copies that still say N30? 

Look, they just fucked up with the mug shot. They gave it away that it's not Jack Ruby in the famous Jackson photo. It's somebody else: James Bookhout. And he was wearing white socks and wingtip shoes, which Ruby did not wear. 

And that of course makes the whole thing very bloodied: bloodied for Oswald; bloodied for Ruby; and bloodied for JFK. Who is going to defend this? How about you, Dr. John McAdams? You're a college professor, at least, you were. You were in charge of young minds. Let's have you defend this. And before you do, raise your right hand and repeat after me, "I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God."
