Ed, thanks so much for this post and the info What I wouldn't give to know exactly where Bill Randle was around 7-9am that morning I think too, its very strange how each one of the coffee club girls from the Irving viper's nest tried oh so hard in their various interviews to down play the frequency of their sordid little gatherings. Cheers Ed, and absolutely love the Dallas Transit Transfer thread | |

Thanks for this Colin, I really believe that meeting of the three at the Paine house, with Ruth, Linnie, and Dorothy at or around 3.00pm followed shortly afterward by Michael, is for me the "ground zero' of the bag/curtain rod story. | |

I said in that thread Ed pointed to at the old forum that Willie had left that morning for Austin. Not sure whether that was in one of the documents or whether I just made an assumption based on I have no idea what. But either way, I am not aware of any evidence he left that morning. The only evidence I know of states that he arrived at his motel in Austin at 7pm. It is nowhere near an 11 or 12 hour drive so there is no known fact which would prohibit him as being LHO's chauffeur that morning - or lunchtime for that matter. It is the Schneider lead and the inactions and actions which followed it, that convinces me Willie driving Ruth's car to take LHO to work has merit. Especially when you add that to the lack of witnesses and inconsistent testimony of Wes and Linnie regarding the official version. | |

And this:
Mr. BALL - This night, this evening, do you remember you did talk to her about the fact that Oswald had come home with you? Mr. FRAZIER - 1 believe I did. Mr. BALL - Did you tell her what he had told you? Mr. FRAZIER - Yes, sir. I believe she said why did he come home now and I said, well, he says he was going to get some curtain rods.
And Randle:
Mr. BALL. Did you talk to Wesley about the fact that he had brought Lee home on this night? Mrs. RANDLE. No, sir.

Greg, this from the old forum: Greg parker: 2009 Post
WILLIAM ("BILL") EDWARD RANDLE
Business in Austin Neither Linnie Mae nor Buell Frazier were asked during testimony if Bill Randle was home on the morning of Friday, November 22, 1963. His only recorded whereabouts on that day is at the Austin Motel in Austin. And only then because of a tip to the FBI from the motel manager.
Mrs John O Thompson phoned the Austin FBI office on November 23 to inform them that Randle had arrived at about 7:00pm the previous day with a man named Berry J Caster driving a Chevy pick up. The report goes on to say, "they both claimed to be employees of the Irving Counter Top Company", and that he had a "personal acquaintanceship" with Oswald, the extent of which was not discussed.
According to Mrs Thompson, Randle said his wife worked at the same building as Oswald, and also told her of rumors that had circulated in Dallas that Kennedy would be shot when he came "on account of the Veteran's Administration Offices being moved out of Dallas".
At about 7:30pm, Randle attempted to contact Marvin Randle in Irving, but was unsuccessful, though he did get through in a later attempt, learning that his wife had been called in for questioning concerning the assassination. On receiving this news, he checked out of the motel and caught a flight back to Dallas at 11:05pm. Caster checked out at 7:00am the following morning and drove the Chevy back to Irving.[16]
This report was not followed up until January 21 when Randle was interviewed by Special Agent Warren de Brueys. Randle advised that the trip to Austin was in connection with his employment for Irving Counter Top, that the business was owned by his brother, Marvin, and it was purely a business matter that had prompted his call to his brother. He denied any knowledge of Lee Harvey Oswald, had never even seen him except in newspapers after the assassination, and said he could not recall making any statement that Kennedy would be killed because of the Veteran's Offices being moved out of the city.[17] Notably absent in the report is what time he left Irving that day (it is about a 3 hour drive, so the latest he could have left to arrive at 7:00pm is about 4:00pm); what time he arrived home after his flight; and whether Berry Caster was related to Warren Caster who had been displaying rifles in the TSBD two days before the assassination.

http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?mode=searchResult&absPageId=342873 According to CE1799, the postal inspectors, including in particular Harry Holmes, interviewed a Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Schneider of Irving, Texas, in the neighborhood of the Paines and Randles, on November 22, 1963, at 6pm. They said that Mrs. Ed Roberts, i.e. Dorothy Roberts, told them that "Willie Randle" had driven Oswald to work that morning. She apparently didn't know that it was Wesley Frazier who drove Oswald to work that morning. | |

"Dorothy Roberts, told them that "Willie Randle" had driven Oswald to work that morning. She apparently didn't know that it was Wesley Frazier who drove Oswald to work that morning." Bingo, Greg! Seems you must've remembered this from somewhere. She "didn't know" it was Frazier... duh! | |

She apparently didn't know that it was Wesley Frazier who drove Oswald to work that morning. Mick, why would she say it was Willie unless she was told that herself? She surely didn't make it up out of thin air. The information should have been followed up with an interview of Roberts followed by an interview with her source. I mean, this at 6pm - Willie himself was still ont booked into his motel room at Austin - presumably he was still on the road on his way there. And you've reminded me -- the motel managers told the FBI that Willie had told them he had an "acquantenship" with Oswald... yet officially they'd never laid eyes on each other. I would love to have a photo of Willie. | |

Spot on Greg, My point exactly, I find this to be extremely interesting. She told them that Willie drove Oswald to work. She had to have seen what she thought was Willie driving Oswald to work. I believe Randle drove Oswald to work. I am thinking I need to get a photo from somewhere, anywhere, of Mr Bill Randle | |

I realize this may be an off-the-wall sort of question, but I just got to thinking about the way other areas of the case have simply vanished under detailed inspection, i got to wondering: Did Oswald actually go home Thursday night?
Is there any proof that he did, in fact, alter his schedule and go to Irving on Thursday evening rather than his "usual" (or semi-quasi-close to usual) Friday evening.
I do not mean to derail the fascinating look into the Vipers' Nest but I was thinking we might look at if there is any need to find out who drove him back to Dallas on Friday morning. If he was never in Irving Thursday night...
Ooooh, my head is spinning! | |

Terry, he was seen around 6pm of Nov 21 on the Paine lawn by CP schneider. I have no reason to doubt that sighting. I believe he was either staying at the Paines the whole time (although there are other schools of thought that may hold more water), or living somewhere else in Oak cliff. There is evidence of him looking for accommodation in Oak Cliff long after he was supposed to have moved into the N Beckley boarding house. | |

Greg,
Thanks for the response. Unless it was Crafard at the Paine's house, I suppose he did go home on Thursday evening.
It is amazing how close Irving was to Oak Cliff. I have always wondered why he didn't just go home with BWF everyday. But that's for another thread.
Now we can get back to the business of dissecting what BWF and the Randalls were up to. And it certainly doesn't look good for Buell. (No wonder he's kept his mouth shut about PM.) | |

Greg you raise agood point. and you've reminded me, how easy it was for neighbours back in '63 on Fifth and Westbrook to see one anothers daily business. Just how little vegetation there was, trees gardens, and the fences surrounding the houses were only waist high cyclone wire fencing which ran down the sides and across the rear. Most had no front fence whatsoever. I still maintain that it is beyond plausible (bloody near impossible) that nobody saw Oswald trudge across from the Pain house to the Randle house given the geographical environment, with a package large enough to carry a rifle, and not be seen by anyone especially at that time of the morning. And thats important to the official story, not only have we got nobody seeing a package but we have nobody seeing Oswald. It makes sense that Oswald was driven home on Thursday night by Frazier, but then again as far as I'm aware we only have BWF and LMR who confirm this. Was he driven home by Frazier? I don't know. Was he in Irving on that Thusday night, almost certainly IMO | |

Lets consider the testimony of Randle and Frazier and Essie Mae with regards to Oswald at that kitchen window: Mr. FRAZIER - I was sitting there eating my breakfast there, so sitting there, I usually talk to my little nieces, you know, they have them cartoons on for a while and we usually talk a little bit back and forth while eating breakfast and I was just finishing my coffee there and my sister, you know, was working over there around, you know the sink there, and she was fixing my lunch so she was somewhere around there over on the cabinets fixing the cabinets and mother just happened to glance up and saw this man, you know, who was Lee looking in the window for me and she said, "Who is that?" So what we have here is Essie Mae observing Oswald looking through the kitchen window, with Randle right at the window at the sink and by way of her testimony tells us she can't identify who is going to Wes's car: Mrs. RANDLE. He opened the right back door and I just saw that he was laying the package down so I closed the door. I didn't recognize him as he walked across my carport and I at that moment I wondered who was fixing to come to my back door so I opened the door slightly and saw that it--I assumed he was getting in the car but he didn't, so he come back and stood on the driveway. How could Randle not recognise Lee, if he was looking through the window while she was right there at it she almost certainly knew who it was. And we have further proof the story is a fabrication, IMO because Essie Mae asks Wes "who is that" out loud, and Frazier says out loud and before Lee has gone to the car: And I said, "That is Lee," Now unless someone can prove that Linnie Mae was deaf, the story of Lee coming over that morning IMO is a total fabrication | |

Thanks Vinny, Priceless, and is a powerful tool in showing just how lame Randles Testimony is regarding not knowing who was aiming to go to Wes's car. Which reminds me to let you know to have a look at the album I've posted in the Photo section regarding the geography of the walk fromthe Paine house over to the Randle home and the walk into the TSBD from the parking lot | |

Mick,
Don't forget that the direction Frazier's car when parked next to the car port suddenly changed during the investigation. | |

Let’s look a little more closely at the shambolic testimony of Randle and Frazier from the Randle’s kitchen. IMO none of the events from the kitchen which these two describe could have possibly happened in the manner they have told us. Let’s be clear here, this is no longer just about observing a package, this is about these two, Randle and Frazier and whether they really did eyeball Oswald that morning. Randle said she saw Oswald crossing the Street, she didn’t know from where, but she observed him nonetheless walking toward the house. She said, she saw Lee long enough to establish he was carrying a large package in his right hand and gripped somewhere near the top, and that the package was almost touching the ground.
IMO Randle certainly goes to quite considerable length to have us believe she did indeed eyeball Oswald walking across Westbrook Street making his way to the house. She wanted us desperately to believe that, she has given us so much detail in her testimony of Oswald’s walk to the house, that it’s hard not to imagine Lee trudging across the bitumen towards the Randle home. But then in a severe case of memory loss, Randle dropped the ball. She had a melt-down in her sworn testimony. IMO that goes a long way to powerfully suggest Randle never really saw Oswald at all. After testifying to the W.C. about all the details of Oswald’s walk to the house from the alleged view she had through the kitchen window, IMO Randle had a problem. She had to give reason to get to that back door for the illusion to be created further. We all know why that is. She had to get to the door to create the illusion Of Oswald placing the package in the car after having walked across the street. It was imperative that this was in their story. It’s here where IMO Randle exposes her deceit and the fantasy of that morning. She claimed to have left the kitchen bench supposedly after eyeballing Oswald. She claimed she did this because she didn’t know who was aiming to come to her back door. She claimed she was at the open back door for a just a moment, but long enough to see Oswald walk to the car and open the right rear door and place the package inside the car and walk to the driveway. That’s some moment! In Frazier’s Testimony he contradicts Randle’s version by allowing the mother Essie Mae to ask out loud “who’s that” and Frazier responds, “That’s Lee” In Randle’s world she missed hearing this apparently. She missed hearing her mother’s question and Frazier’s reply IMO because the event never occurred. The contradiction comes from the testimony of Frazier, as Oswald stood looking through the window long enough for Essie Mae to have asked “Who’s that” and for Frazier to reply (out loud) “That’s Lee”. Randle then wanted us to believe she had completely forgotten what she had just seen through the window, and had heard and dived for the door, because she “wanted to see who was aiming to come to her back door”. This is the clue to the deceit, the lies and the fabrication.
IMO Randle’s story is false. She cannot have seen so much detail of Oswald coming over to her house and a moment later not know who is aiming to come to the back door. I believe Frazier’s lie is in his testimony of what his mother had said that morning and subsequently what he claimed he said in reply to her, that is the clue to the deceit. IMO that is why Randle did not recollect that very important part of the official story. It simply did not happen. It was Frazier’s invention which Randle had forgotten to recall. Randle said I didn't recognize him as he walked across my carport and I at that moment I wondered who was fixing to come to my back door. We know this to be false. And one last thing to consider, In all the testimony, affidavits and interviews by the various authorities, over the issue of Oswald trudging over to the Randle house from the Paine’s, with a package large enough to carry a rifle, don’t you find it a little odd that in reality there is really only one person who saw Oswald make that walk with that large package. That person just happens to be Linnie Mae Randle. Wes never admits to actually seeing Lee at any time before meeting up with him outside of the house in the driveway when they leave for work. IMO Wes takes up the slack of the fable at this moment, with the car trip into work and that walk into the TSBD. There is someone else who just happened to be the only person who witnessed Oswald with a package that day, as he walked through parking lot 1 on his 3 block walk on his way into the TSBD. That person just happens to be Buell Wesley Frazier Now that really is keeping it all in the family.
