JOHN CORBETT SAID:
The bag was 40 inches long. The longest part of the broken down MC was 38 inches. It fit the bag.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
That's not quite right. The paper bag was 38 inches long, and the lengthiest part of Oswald's C2766 MC rifle was 34.8 inches [Warren Report; Page 133].
Conspiracy theorists must hate the above picture, because it demonstrably illustrates that Lee Oswald's rifle (when broken down) was certainly capable of fitting inside the brown paper bag that was found on the sixth floor of the Depository.
Which is probably why the Anybody But Oswald CTers (such as James DiEugenio) have to try so hard to pretend that the paper bag in evidence [CE142] is a fake bag, with DiEugenio coming up with a new twist on that theory recently, as Jim D. now apparently wants to pretend that Oswald didn't carry ANY BAG AT ALL into the Book Depository on 11/22/63.
The lengths to which conspiracy theorists will go in order to avoid the evidence (and the facts) are simply amazing.
