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.
