"He knew that if he was connected up to the rifle he was cooked. On other matters he told the truth, but on anything concerning the rifle he lied and that is a proven fact."

Let me preface this by saying, you hear so many things and can't know what if any of it is true. I heard years ago that someone had expert marksmen attempt to shoot a rifle like that one as fast as they could. None of the experts could shoot it, cock it, shoot it, cock it...etc as fast as those shots rang out that day, let alone be accurate while they did it. It was a bolt action type from what I understand.
I was 7 years old and remember being let out of school early and my Grandmother was crying when I got home. We watched all the news reports and watched the funeral procession as it happened. My Grandmother kept a picture of him hanging in her living room until the day she moved into a nursing home.

A show was on just this week and they showed an 80 year old guy shooting the rifle three times in less time than Oswald took.
