Lee Harvey Oswald is shot by Jack Ruby as Oswald is being moved by police, on Nov. 24, 1963. The idea that there was more than one Lee Harvey Oswald has to be among the most bizarre conspiracy theories suggested to explain President John F. Kennedy’s assassination. It is also the only one that led graveyard diggers to disturb Oswald’s corpse.
Groody shared his concerns with assassination researchers, and together they developed a theory that makes Eddowes’ look uninspired. While Groody agreed that the body buried in Oswald’s grave was the same one he embalmed, he wasn’t so sure about the head.
The plan was to take a set of dental X-rays and compare them to a set produced while Oswald was in the Marines.
Eddowes noted that passport and Marine Corps application papers created before Oswald went to Russia listed his height as 5-foot-11, but after his arrest the FBI reported Oswald’s as 5-foot-9.
Once the digging started, it became clear that Oswald’s concrete vault had cracked, and water damage had caused the coffin lid to partially cave in, exposing the remains. Workers covered the dilapidated coffin in a white sheet, and drove it the 35 miles to Baylor Medical Center in Dallas in a hearse.
Marina, when she met Oswald in Minsk, had at first believed she was speaking to a native Russian with a Baltic accent. Upon Oswald’s return from Russia, family members noted that he had lost some hair and weight, while his complexion appeared ruddier.
He first approached the Medical Examiner’s Office in Tarrant County, where Oswald was buried, but when his requests were denied, he turned to Dallas County, where Oswald had been killed.
During Lee Harvey Oswald 's interrogation by the Dallas Police on the evening of 22 November 1963, pending his arraignment for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, he requested the services of Mr. Abt: I want that attorney in New York, Mr. Abt.
In 1965 , the Supreme Court ruled that individuals may invoke their constitutional privilege against self-incrimination and refuse to register with the Government as members of the US Communist Party. Abt considered this decision as his greatest legal victory.
In February 1948, Abt left the Amalgamated and Lee Pressman left the CIO to go work for the Progressive Party to support its presidential candidate, former Vice President Henry A. Wallace. At the time, the Washington Post dubbed Abt, Pressman, and Calvin Benham "Beanie" Baldwin (C. B. Baldwin) as "influential insiders" and "stage managers" in ...
Although Abt's short and simple defense did not succeed at this trial, Lightfoot's conviction was ultimately overturned by the US Supreme Court in 1964. In 1960, Abt again defended the CPUSA before the U.S. Supreme Court on the constitutionality of the McCarran Act.
Both men seized upon the proposal with great enthusiasm. Abt and Pressman became the CIO-PAC's co-counsels. (Thus, in 1943, as American spy Elizabeth Bentley resurrected the Ware Group [of which Abt had been a member], Abt could not risk involvement with her or the group.

Abt was the Chief of Litigation, Agricultural Adjustment Administration from 1933 to 1935, assistant general counsel of the Works Progress Administration in 1935 (where Lee Pressman was also working), chief counsel to Senator Robert La Follette, Jr. 's Committee from 1936 to 1937 and special assistant to the United States Attorney General, 1937 and 1938.
Two days after the President was killed, Oswald was shot in full view of television cameras by a Dallas nightclub owner, Jack Ruby. Mrs. Porter, her lawyer and a lawyer for Mr. Eddowes were on hand today. According to Mr. Eddowes's lawyer, the coffin contained ''just skeletal remains'' that ''could not be removed in one piece.''.
Oswald's brother, Robert, who lives in Wichita Falls, had sought in court for some time to block the exhumation. It was sought first by Michael Eddowes, a British writer, who theorized that the coffin contained the corpse of a Soviet spy who assumed Oswald's identity while Oswald was living in the Soviet Union.
Eddowes's lawyer, the coffin contained ''just skeletal remains'' that ''could not be removed in one piece.''. The pathologists here were reported to have taken 150 X-rays. They identified, in the skull, the scar made by surgeons in a mastoid operation when Oswald was 6 years old, in 1945.
Porter withdrew her permission from Mr. Eddowes to exhume the body and took over the legal battle herself. However, the exhumation, estimated to cost $8,000 to $15,000, is reportedly to be paid for by Mr. Eddowes.
In 1978 , she testified before the House Assassinations Committee and for five and a half hours told about her life with Oswald.
The grave of the man accused of assassinating President Kennedy was opened in Rose Hill Burial Park in Fort Worth, Oswald's home town , starting shortly after 7 A.M. The public and reporters were kept out of the cemetery as work began.
The 40-year-old Mrs. Porter, who married a carpenter, Kenneth Porter, refused to view the remains but had trusted friends do it. She was asked to identify two rings on Oswald's body. Mrs. Porter spent hours yesterday in meetings with lawyers in Dallas planning the event. She recalled the years of work leading to it.
