(23,872 posts)Any conspiracy using Oswald as the hit man would have needed to have communicated with Oswald or have some reliable and secretive way of doing so. But Oswald's life does not seem to have such accessibility to anyone.
The one phone at the boarding house was a pay phone and communal. No one could recall Oswald ever receiving phone calls. The housekeeper said that Oswald would stay in his room 95% of the time. And he almost never went out, except to wash his clothes or twice attending a meeting (a speech of General Walker's and a meeting of the local ACLU). Oswald's boarding house was renting to 17 different people including him, so privacy was at a minimum.
Oswald never received or made phone calls at Ruth Payne's house, either. And no one ever saw Oswald using the phone at work, something he would have to have had permission to use anyway.
So unless he was flawless in using the phone at work without anyone seeing him, the only times that Oswald was really free to call his handlers in the conspiracy would have been after work on a pay phone before getting to the boarding house. And they would never have a reliable way of contacting him.
Does this seem likely to you?
