The running time from Frame Fram 10 to Frame is 56 U seconds The agreement ends there theN Because of the limited firing capacity of the Car eano cano the critics say I the president and governor could not have been tD hit Mt within 16 sec sec- seconds seconds by two two- rounds fired from that rifle and 2 three- three bullets could not have been fired within 8 seconds Epstein examining the firing tests by three experts says says- they says they used stationery targets and that the time was measured from the sound of the first report to the sound of the third report and thus had unlimited time to aim the first shot This is a significant factor For example If it is assumed it took the assassin one second to react aim and pull the trigger then he be had only 46 seconds not 56 seconds to fire Ep Ep- Epstein Epstein Epstein stein says Mark Lane makes the same contention and adds to it a de de- detailed detailed tailed attack in which he says the tests themselves themselves'

is right on all of this what does it change The fact is that that rifle rine was owned by Oswald he was in the depository the empty shells sheIls were fired by that weapon the recovered bullet was fired by that weapon The beat evidence that the rifle was capable of delivering the shots shots- and that Oswald was capable of hitting the president and governor is that it did and he did Specter
