    The linchpin of the Warren Commission's conclusions that a lone assassin was exclusively responsible for the fatal gunshot wounds of President Kennedy and for the critical wounding of Texas Governor Connally was the claimed discovery at the southeast window on the sixth floor Texas School Depository building, two shells of which were directly below the window and a third a bit farther away from the wall and several feet west of the other two. These three cartridge shells supposedly represent three shots fired at the motorcade and comports with the three shot scenario adopted by the Warren Commission as the official version. One shot accounted for Kennedy's back and neck wound and all of the missile wounds of the Governor resulting from the so-called "magic bullet" under a theory one round transited through both individuals, a second was the separate fatal head shot, and the third was a shot that must have missed the limousine and hit the street pavement or the concrete slab of a sewer which then ricocheted to strike a nearby bystander.[1] My purpose is not to expand upon the controversy over the popular two, three or four shot firing sequences nor the timing of the shots. The limitations of a single gunman theory in this regard have been well covered by other researchers. My focus instead will be on the supposed discovery of three expended 6.5-mm cartridge rounds at the sniper's lair and then the supposed discovery just a short time later of a single live round that was in the chamber of the rifle. The Mannlicher-Carcano weapon was claimed to have been the one from which all the rounds were fired and was discovered abandoned between book storage boxes in another area on the sixth floor of the Depository.
