ASSASSIN'S RIFLE HELD 4th BULLET

   Lee Harvey Oswald shoved a fourth bullet into the chamber of his mail-order rifle after he 
fired three shots into President Kennedy and Gov. John Connally, an investigator said Monday.
   "There was a live round in the firing chamber when officers picked up the rifle," he said.
   Officers found the weapon in the Texas School Book Depository Building at Elm and Houston.  
They said Oswald left it there after he opened fire on the Kennedy motorcade from a 6-th floor 
window.
   "WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS IN OSWALD'S MIND," THE INVESTIGATOR SAID.  "WE CAN ONLY SPECULATE ON 
HIS REASON FOR WORKING THE BOLT AND PUTTING A FOURTH BULLET IN THE FIRING CHAMBER.
   "It's possible he intended to shoot again at President Kennedy or the governor.... or maybe 
at Jacqueline Kennedy.....but found the car out of range.  After President Kennedy and Connally 
were hit, the driver took off at high speed.
   "Or it may be that Oswald intended to use his rifle to shoot his way out of the building if 
the need arose, although I doubt it."
   Oswald is thought to have walked away from the downtown building and gone to his Oak Cliff 
room, where he got a jacket and a pistol.  Officers say he used the pistol to kill Patrolman J. 
D. Tippit minutes later.
   "We haven't been able to determine where Oswald was going," the investigator said.  "He 
wouldn't tell us when we questioned him before Jack Ruby shot him.  But we're convinced he 
didn't plan to return to the Oak Cliff room or to the Irving home where his wife and children 
lived.
   "It wasn't cool enough at the time for Oswald to need the jacket.  He may have put it on to 
change his appearance.  But it's more likely he thought he would need it at night.  It's my 
guess he planned to get into Mexico and from there to Cuba."

One may ask the most obvious question to arise from this article of why it took two and one half 
weeks to tell us of the fourth bullet being found in the chamber.  More make-evidence?

And, why would any assassin waste time loading an unneeded shell when it was obvious that JFK 
was dead? 
  
It is little wonder the above quoted investigator remained nameless; he was a total dumb ass.
