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

There had to be two renditions of the Oswald shooting in the garage, one with Jack Ruby which came first, and then the one with James Bookhout which came later and was televised. Here's why:

This is from John McAdam's timeline of Lee Harvey Oswald.

9:30 AM: LHO is signed out of jail in anticipation of a transfer to the county facility.

11:15 AM: The transfer party leaves Fritz' office after a final round of questions.

So, that's 9:30 to 11:15. It's almost 2 hours. That makes it BY FAR the longest interrogation that Oswald did. I find that very strange. That's because after all the ground that was already covered in the many hours of interrogation that preceded this, I should think they were running out of things to ask him.

But, though it was the longest interrogation, here is what Will Fritz wrote down about it:

Nothing.

Fritz put the duration of it as 10 to 11:15. Then what happened between 9:30 and 10:00? But, the most important thing is to look at the information he wrote down from it. Nothing. Not a word. Zilch.

According to Harry Holmes, Oswald was singing like a canary about his trip to Mexico City during that interrogation, yet Fritz didn't write down a single word about it? Not one thing was said that Fritz thought was important enough to write down?

The official story has it that Jack Ruby went to the Western Union office to wire money to one of his dancers. But wait. That doesn't make sense. She was one of his dancers, right? So, she was local, right? So, why would he wire her the money? Why wouldn't he just give it to her? Why pay the exorbitant Western Union fees for nothing? And look at all the bother. He had to go to the Western Union office to send it. Then, he would have had to call her and say that he sent it. Then she would have to go out to a Western Union place to get the money. She could have just gone to him directly and gotten the money. No muss, no fuss. So, why Why WHY would he do that way? He wouldn't. Nobody would. This was just an excuse to get him close to that basement.

But, Ruby said he went from there to the garage. He said he walked down the ramp, and it happened at the bottom of the ramp. He said he remembered seeing reporters, and he remembered being pushed down to the ground by cops. And he said that he reacted by saying, "What are you doing? This is me, Jack Ruby. You know me." which indicates that he was not aware that he had done anything wrong.

So, I suggest that it actually happened, and I mean beforehand. I mean during that long so-called interrogation of Oswald, there must have been a rendering of this in the basement in which Ruby showed up and was pounced upon by cops and made to believe that he had shot Oswald. Everyone there must have been in on it, and that isn't hard to believe. The jail transfer was scheduled for 10 AM. The televised version occurred at 11:20. The one with Ruby had to occur before the latter. So, first, they did the version with Ruby to implant in his mind that he had done it, and then the version with Bookhout followed for posterity.
