this material. An' independent investigator, Richard E. Sprague,
has also done a brilliant job of analysis. Mentesana 2 and
Willis 10 (photos) indicate presence and "discovery" of one

and possibly two more rifles besides the one found on the sixth
floor. Why was that discovery not the basis for action? The
Mary A. Moorman photo shows a possible total of four men behind a
concrete wall, the fence and cupola structure at the west end
of the arcade The Hughes film and the Dillard photo show the
sixth floor Depository window from which Oswald allegedly did his
shooting within seconds of the assassination, and there is neither
Oswald nor anyone else at that window.
What we might call hard physical evidence, that relating to
angles of entrance of wounds, of positions from: which shots might
have been fired, the phsyical reactions of Kennedy and Connally, the
direction of flying skull matter which resulted from the fatal
wound in the President's head, the medical testimony of Parkland
doctors and photographic evidence all provided impressive
for the assumption of a conspiracy. Even if we would now regard
such evidence as questionable, there was a time at which author-
ities had such material as their best evidence, and were therefore
duty bound to but did not act upon it. If there existed evidence
for a conspiracy, and dangerous criminals who assassinated the
President of the United States were on the loose, then all
of us would be in danger. Surély our government in: not reacting
to evidence of conspiracy could not have felt the assassins a
threat or "a danger
Why not?
