Handwriting experts cool Oswald plot claims in Kennedy case
Handwriting analysts testified before the House assassinations committee that 43 samples attributed to Lee Harvey Oswald were by one person, except a 1963 letter to H L Hunt whose copy was unclear. They found Oswald’s signature on Cuban visa documents matched other samples, supporting the lone gunman view, while leaving open the possibility of forgery. The panel continues hearings into conspiracy theories involving Cuba, the U S underworld, and Jack Ruby relations as it explores the Kennedy assassination.
