Sir, Ms Penelope Dening's article (July 29th), gives the impression that Lee Harvey Oswald was killed on the same day as John F. Kennedy, and only a few hours after being arrested for the murders of the President and Patrolman Tippet. This is not accurate. John F. Kennedy died on Friday. November 22nd, 1963; Oswald was killed on Sunday, November 24th.
On November 22nd, Oswald was arrested for the murder of Patrolman Tippet only. He was charged with the President's murder in the early hours of the morning of the 23rd. - Yours, etc.,
