A Few days in November
Upon his return to Dallas, Oswald’s wife gave birth to their second child. The birth of his second child did however not stop his political activism, and activity that did not end until the 22nd of November 1963.
On the day of the assassination, Oswald went to work at the Texas Book depository with Buell Frazier, a coworker. According to Frazier brought with him curtain rods for his apartments in Dallas (naturally this is believed by many as to in reality to have been the Carcano rifle).
At 11:40 am, Air force one landed at Love Airport and at 12:30 pm the presidents motorcade passed the Book depository during which an assassin or assassins shot and killed President John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
Oswald was directly after the shooting spotted at a soft drink machine on the second floor by officer Marrion Baker (an officer from the motorcade who ran directly into the book depository).
Oswald thereafter left the building, and made his way home, where he got out his Smith and Wesson revolver and a grey jacket before he left. Fifteen minutes later, police officer J.D. Tippit was found bleeding to death by his radio car (and ballistics later proved that he was shot with the gun that Oswald was carrying and witnesses saw a man resembling Oswald speaking to Tippit just minutes before he was shot).
On 1:50 p.m. Oswald was arrested by Police in a movie theater in Oak Cliff, under the suspicion of killing Officer Tippit. Captain Fritz of the Dallas police then questioned Oswald until 1:35 a.m. During the interview Oswald denied buying a Carcano rifle and even claimed that the famous Life magazine picture of him with the rifle was authentic.
At 1.35 a.m. Oswald was arraigned in front of Justice David Johnston, who to Oswald surprise told him that he was a suspect in the killing of President Kennedy (He responded “ Oh, this is the deal is it”).
To me, it has always been strange that Oswald was never informed that he was a suspect in the killing of JFK during the entire interview with Captain Fritz, and that he was interviewed without a lawyer (which he did request)
On the morning of the 24th of November (c.a. 11:00 a.m.) Captain Fritz had completed his interrogation of Oswald, without obtaining the admission that he had sought.
A few minutes later Oswald was taken to the Police garage, where he was to be transferred to the county jail. Oswald did not make it. As he emerged from the elevator a man jumped out of the crowd and shot him with a single shot. Oswald died the same day at Parkland Hospital at 1:07 p.m.
