But, the Oswald who was arrested in Dallas was 69 inches. In fact, when he was arrested in New Orleans, the police put him on a height ledger which said 5'9" and they took a picture which we have. It's hard to read, but the top reading on that chart, which Oswald doesn't reach is 5'10", and the next lower one which he exceeds says 5'8". So, Oswald was between those two in height; he was 5'9".
And, the form also says that he was 150 pounds, and his age at the time was 18. Well, the Oswald of fame was never that heavy. In New Orleans, he was 140 pounds, and he was round in the face then. In Dallas, he was 131 pounds. There is no reason to think that he was 150 pounds when he was 18 years old.
Or could he? I hear tell that Richard Hooke claims that in New Orleans, after the pinch torture and then the tickle torture, they subjected him to the stretch torture, and it lengthened him a couple inches. I wish they would do that to me. I could use it.
So, what gives? What gives is that there were two different Lee Harvey Oswalds. One was 5'11" and the other was 5'9".
