Denial of Rifle Ownership
Describes the circumstances of Lee Harvey Oswald’s arrest at the Texas Theatre on the afternoon of the assassination, including the events that led police to identify him as a suspect, his resistance during arrest, and the seizure of evidence from his person at the time of detention.
The Revolver

Actions During and After Shooting
Reviews evidence related to the .38 caliber revolver used to kill Patrolman Tippit, including its connection to Oswald, its recovery during his arrest at the Texas Theatre, and ballistic confirmation of its use in the murder.
Prior Attempt To Kill
