The Warren Commission (WC) would make many claims against Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO) during their supposed investigation into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy (JFK), but in the vast majority of the claims they were totally deficient in supporting evidence. For example, they would claim that LHO did “A”, but the evidence that they put forth would show that “B” or maybe “C” occurred.
A great example of the evidence found in the twenty-six volumes failing to support the claim found in their report (WCR) can be seen in the claim regarding the pamphlets. This post will look at this claim.
*******************************************
The WC claimed that LHO used yet another alias, “Lee Osborne”, to order a thousand pamphlets on May 29, 1963, while he was in New Orleans, Louisiana. Here is what they wrote regarding this issue in the WCR.

In late May and early June, Oswald had apparently begun to formulate plans for creating a New Orleans branch of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee. Using the name “Lee Osborne” he ordered a number of printed circulars demanding “Hands off Cuba” in large letters, and application forms and membership cards for the proposed chapter. (WCR, p. 728)

We now see the WC claimed that LHO used a THIRD alias (O. H. Lee and Alek Hidell were the other two mentioned) to allegedly order the pamphlets, application forms and membership cards for his supposed New Orleans chapter of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee (FPCC). As we have seen numerous times in other posts, there is no supporting evidence showing that LHO ever used the alias “Alek Hidell” as claimed. Furthermore, if he put so much effort into creating that alias as claimed by the WC, why wouldn’t he use it for this order when that name was tied to the FPCC activity in New Orleans?
We have also seen that the only alias listed by the Dallas Police Department (DPD) upon LHO’s arrest was the one of “O.H. Lee” which he had used to rent his current boarding room. So where is the evidence for him using the Osborne alias? I don’t see any, but that never stopped the WC from claiming that he did.
We see the same claim repeated in this document.

Under the name OSBORNE, OSWALD ordered 1,000 copies printed of “Hands Off Cuba” FPCC handbills from Jones Printing Company…May 29, 1963, which he probably received on June 4, 1963. (CE 2548, XXV, p. 773)

Again, there is no supporting evidence for this claim, and there is a good reason for that. The good reason is that the only evidence we have shows that LHO never ordered or picked up any pamphlets, application forms or membership cards.
The Secret Service (SS) and FBI looked into this issue and the only two witnesses found for this incident both said that they did not think that the man who ordered the pamphlets was LHO.
One witness was Douglas Jones who was the owner of Jones Printing Company (JPC). He said this when he was questioned about this issue.

Douglas Jones, Jones Printing Company, 422 Girod, advised after viewing the photographs of LEE OSWALD, that although he could not positively be sure, he said he did not believe the person ordering the handbills relating to Cuba last May 29th was OSWALD. He said to the best of his recollection the man ordering the handbills was a husky type person, to the order of a laborer…He again stated that he could not positively say the person ordering the handbills was not OSWALD, but he did not think it was. (CE 2542, XXV, p. 769)

Jones said that he did not believe that the man who placed the order for the pamphlets, applications and membership cards was LHO. While the intelligence agencies and the WC did their familiar dance of “while he can’t say positively that it wasn’t LHO, he didn’t believe that it was LHO”, thereby leaving some doubt, we simply have to look at the description that he provided.
He said to the best of his recollection that the man who ordered the pamphlets was “a husky type person, to the order of a laborer.” This doesn’t describe LHO at all. The arrest documents from New Orleans (the arrest occurred on August 9, 1963, so these are very relevant) list his weight at 136 pounds! I doubt that weight would make LHO “husky” in anyone’s book. Clearly, this was not LHO.
Further confirmation that the person who ordered the pamphlets was not LHO came from the secretary of the JPC – Myra Silver.

Myra Silver, secretary, Jones Printing Company…She stated that on May 29, 1963, a person who she understood gave his name as OSBORNE appeared at the Jones Printing Company and placed an order for 1,000 copies of a handbill…Mrs. Silver was shown a photograph of LEE HARVEY OSWALD, at which time she stated she could not recognize the person represented in the picture as the person who placed the order for the handbills.

This shows that the owner and the secretary failed to identify LHO as the person who ordered the pamphlets. In fact, Jones described the man as a “husky type” which is totally opposite of what LHO was. Notice too the sneaky way the WC separated these two statements that did not fit their claim. One is volume XXII and one is in volume XXV. Why? Since these statements are about the same issue shouldn’t they have been put in the same volume? Despite these two statements the WC would still claim that LHO ordered the pamphlets while providing no supporting evidence showing that he did.
Moreover, they utterly failed to support their other claim that LHO employed the alias “Lee Osborne” as well. Small issues like this are really a microcosm of the entire case as it shows how the WC (SS, FBI, CIA, DIA, ONI, etc…too) constantly made claims that they either failed to support or were in direct opposition to what the evidence actually showed!
Since we know that LHO did not order or pick up the thousand pamphlets, why was the invoice for the order allegedly found among his things in the Paine's garage on November 23, 1963?
CE 2003, p. 341; p. 281 in original:

The invoice is in the 12th box on the right side of the page. Was this invoice planted among his things or was it given to him to hold to incriminate him later on with?
Clearly, the WC was not searching for the truth as they claimed since someone, or some group, searching for the truth would not employ sneaky tactics like this.
Obviously the WC was out to make it appear as though LHO was a lone assassin, and totally to blame, for JFK’s assassination despite what the evidence actually showed, therefore, their false claims in this issue are sunk by the actual evidence.
