Kat. Morse shifting his legs was never a problem with me. As you say, he testified standing and probably holding some kind of a rail with both hands. He had his body weight resting one one leg and put the other leg across, either in front of his supporing leg resting the tip of his shoe on the floor or behind his supporting leg hooking his nonsupporting leg to his supporting leg with his foot. Then he shifted doing the same thing but the other way around. Continuously repeating this pattern during the whole time he was interrogated by Mr. Knowlton  he gave the reporter the impression of twisting and untwisting his long gray trousered legs. Crystal clear, isn´t it?

(I see I brought you a new spelling of the word ”response”. Sorry!).

That makes sense.  That does sound like a little kid who has to "go".
Did anybody else write about that, is there corroboration?

I think I understand you are interested in writing reponses here to the opinions you received from your recent article, which are in The Hatchet?

I'm sorry that I don't have a password since I got this new computer- so I have not read the feedback.  I will get a password today.

I got my password and I looked at the polls.
Lookin' good.

There are 35% who think Morse knew the killer before the murders.
There are 30% who agree with your theory.
There are 50% who partially agree!

I think that is like winning a lottery!
It's very hard to gain that much support for a theory.

Don't overlook the fact that JVM was also an old man. Maybe pains in his knees or legs caused this? WAIT until you get to be that age!!!
Plus reporters then were quite creative in their descriptions.
