this frame-up must go up to the highest levels-those - levels which
prevent our knowing information concerning Oswald's realtionship
with the 8 vernment. It certainly goes up to the Warren Commission,
which refused to consider any evidence bearing unfavorably on and
lone assassin theory.
Further, it is interesting that while Oswald was arrested
without real evidence, and tem ciously clung to as the lone assassin,
no such action was taken against others who may have been suspicious.
Only action against Oswald, where it most probably was unjustified
but none against others where it might have been justified. As
we have already observed, Richard Sprague has brought the fact to
our attention that a number of arrests were made after the assass-
ination. There is photographic evidence of this. What happened
to these men? Why were they not regarded with more suspicion
considering the fact there was sufficient suspicion to arrest
them- at a time the military was informing the new leaders there
was no conspiracy
A most interesting figure is Igor Vagahov. I am not suggest-
ing he is guilty of anything, -but the was sufficiently suspicious
for the F.B.I. to question him for two hours. He was an excellent
shot; carried a gun; turned up in Dallas not long before the
and
assassination; left shortly thereafter,/fit the description of one
of the men Acquilla Clemons said she saw kill Officer Tippit.
He had a red Thunderbird and, Domingo Benavides, one of the wit-
hesses to Tippit's murder, saw a man in a "red Ford. Tippit was
shot with a .38 caliber revolver, the same kind Vaganov had with
him. Further, Vaganov's whereabouts during the killing of Tippit
haven't been substantiated. And the evening before the assassination,
