DALLAS i LTD Police said
Saturday they have an airtight
case against pro-Castro Marx
ist Lee Harvey Oswald as the
assassin of President Kcnnnedy,
including photos of him holding
Die rifle.
Police were reported showing
tile photos to the sullen, 24-year-old
cx-Marme (rom suburban
Irving, Tex., who has stead
fastly maintained his inno
cence and has also denied
slaying a Dallas policeman.
The photos, police said, show
him with both the rifle used to
kill President Kennedy and the
pistol used to kill pursuing pa
trolman J. D. Tippitt shortly
after the assassination.
. "This case is cinched." said
homicide Chief Capt. Will Fritz,
one of the most respected police
officers in Texas.
"The man killed President
Kennedy. We are convinced
without any doubt he did the
killing," Fritz said.
Frilz said he could not dis
close the evidence on which he
based his statement. Oswald,
24, so far has stubbornly denied
any connection with the assas
sination. He relused Saturday to
take a lie detector lest after
paraffin tests showed gunpow
der traces on both his hands, in
dicating he recently had fired a
rifle the type of weapon used
to kill the President Friday.
The case was expected to go
to a grand jury Wednesday,

er's life could be belter. I
found some ..Marxist books on
dusty shelves in the New Or
leans library and continued to
indoctrinate, myself for five
years."
He added that living in the
United States means exploita
tion by the capitalists,
"Capitalism has passed its
peak." he said. VCapitalism
will disappear as feudalism dis
appeared." Oswald said he was against
segregation.
"'c seen pour niggers, be
ing a southern hoy," he shhI.
"And that was a lesson. Peo
ple bate because they're told to
hate, like sclnxil kids. It's the
fashion to hate people in the
United States."

Convinced Oswald duilfy
Nov. 27. or Monday, Dec. 2
Fritz refused to say whether
the sniper slaying of the Presi
dent and the wounding nl Texas
trfiv. John t'onnally as they rode
triumphantly through downtown
Dallas was an organized pint
or a spur-of-the-moment act.
"There were no accomplices,"
Fritz said, however.
Dallas County Dist. Ally. Hen
ry Wade said the assassination
trial of the 24-year-old Marine
Corps reject probably would be
held in January. Wade, with a
record of 24 convictions in 24
capital cases, said he would try
the Oswald case himself.
Should Oswald not lie convict
ed and sentenced to death by
electrocution, he then would be
tried for the slaying of a Dallas
policeman who sought to arrest
him after the assassination,
Wade said.
Wade was more cautious in
his appraisal of the state's case
than Fritz.
"There is no such thing as a
cinch. I do believe we have a
good case," Wade said.
Police had the Italian-made
sniper scope rifle used in the
slayings. They knew from Os
wald's Russian wife that he
owned such a gun. She saw it
the night before the assassina
tion. He bought it in New Or
leans, she said.

membership. Wade said lie
would not disclose the evidence
because:
"We have got to get a jury
whodoesn t know what evidence
we have."
Although he agreed with Capt.
Fritz that there was no evi
dence connecting anyone else to
Oswald, Wade said:
"Our mind is open."
Oswald also was accused of
slaying a pursuing policeman,
another charge he denied al
though he admitted he owned
the snub-nosed 38-calibcr pistol
which felled the veteran officer.
When he was arraigned ear
lier on this murder charge. Os-.
wald responded: "I don't know
what this is' all about."
Police claimed Oswald, who
qualified as a sharpshooter
while in the Marines, was in the
building from which the assas
sin fired the fatal bullet at Ken
nedy. But Oswald said it wasn't
so, that he was in a movie the
ater. There were small conflicts in
times and stories as federal
and state officials pieced togeth
er the details.
Mrs. R. C. Roberts who works
at the rooming house where Os
wald lives said he dashed in
soon after 12:43 CST (1:45 EST'.
Police said the suspect was
seen in the Texas schoolbook
depository building from which
the sniper fired at 12:45. The
building is 12 blocks from his

rooming house. A policeman
asked him what he was doing
there and a supervisor, knowing
he worked there, said:
"He is okay."
Kennedv was shot at 12 31
p.m., CST. Mrs, Roberts said a
friend called her at 12:45 to say
the President had been shot.
Suddenly, she said, in rushed
Oswald, "on the dead run."
"He ran to his room, came
running back with a gray zipper
jacket and out the door.
"I said 'you sure are in a
hurry' but he didn't even an

Mrs. Roberts said.
Patrolling in Oak Cliff was
Officer J. D. Tippitt, a 38-ycar-old
father of three. He was
about five blocks from the Tex
as Theater where the double
feature "Cry Battle" and "War
Is Hell" was playing.
It was near 1 p.m. the time
Kennedy was pronounced dead
but the exact time is not
known.
Tippitt fell to the street, shot
twice. How he accosted his slay
er is not known.
A witness called police and
cars headed for the area. Then
Mrs. Julie Postal, cashier at the
Texas Theater, called police.
A suspicious-looking man was
in the theater, she said.

The house lights flared up.
Oswald, in the third row. cen
ter section, leaped up and said
"This is it."
Some witnesses said he cried:
"This is the end!"
MacDonald headed toward
him. The 38 snub-nose came up.
It misfired. The officers jumped
him.
Oswald, a wiry 5 foot 8 indies
and 160 pounds, lashed out at
MacDonald's face.
The policemen smashed him
down and dragged him, still
fighting, to a police car.
