Countdown to Dallas, Ruth Paine’s House

The night before the assassination Oswald  came home with his co-worker from the  depository, Wesley Buell Frasier.
It was thursday november 21st.

Oswald never visited Marina on Thursdays . He always came home on friday
The reason he came home on Thursday was to ostensibly try and woo Marina back into moving in with him.
Oswald even told her that ” if you agree to  come back with me i will get an apartment  in dallas tomorrow”
Marina rebuffed him.

It’s believed at that point of course Oswald went to his other option which was to retrieve his gun.
Probably around 9:00 or so, it’s believed oswald went into the  garage to fetch his rifle.
Let’s go in.
It was kept in a blanket similar to this one
This is not the the exact blanket of course but a blanket similar to that 
oswald’s rifle was disassembled in 
at the book depository the brown  wrapping paper bag to conceal that 

So he came into the garage here took the pieces of the rifle out of the blanket.
Slipped them into the bag 
After that he probably left the package in here
Some historians think it probably would have been too risky for Oswald to bring the package into the house.
There was no reason to he could easily retrieve it and more safely retrieve it the next morning.
Now Oswald went to bed before Marina did 
She finished some house chores then took a long bath went to bed with oswald 
It was her belief that oswald was still awake at one point 
She touched his leg he shoved her leg away apparently the next morning on the bedstand as you  can see here this is a replica of the china cup that Marina brought with her from the soviet union .
According to her, Oswald that morning placed  his wedding ring and approximately $187.
He told marina then that she could use the  money to buy the washing machine that she wanted.
Oswald then went into the garage, according to the official version of events, picked up his rifle and then walked down the block to Wesley Buell Fraziers house
So Oswald retrieved his rifle from the garage walked not too far
about a block down west fifth street
this is where we are crossed the corner of west fifth and westbrook came here to the home of his workmate Wesley Buell Fraziers
Oswald came here with his package stood outside the garage

Here this window is the kitchen of the Randall home.
Linnie Mae Randall was doing the dishes in front of the sink.
She later testified that she looked out the window saw Lee harvey oswald with the long package.
