Oswald Leaving TSBD?


Recommended Posts

...he wasn't on the Sixth Floor when the assassination happened.

Then how did OSWALD'S rifle get on the sixth floor, Bill?

HEY DAVE, WHERE YOU BEEN, ITS ABOUT TIME YOU CRASHED THIS PARTY, COME ON IN.

YOU KNOW DAVE, I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW IT GOT THERE. FRAZER IS ADAMANT THAT HE DIDN'T BRING IT IN HIS CAR. I'D ALSO LIKE TO KNOW HOW THE RIFLE GOT FROM THE POST OFFICE SHELF TO OSWALD'S HANDS - WITHOUT ANYBODY REMEMBERING THAT - AND HOW THE RIFLE GOT FROM DALLAS TO NEW ORLEANS AND BACK AGAIN, WHILE OSWALD WAS IN MEXICO CITY. SOMEBODY MUST HAVE HELPED HIM. i WONDER WHO?

And why did Oswald lie about the "curtain rods"? What possible reason would Oswald have had for telling such a false tale to Buell Frazier (twice)?

YEA, I CAN'T FIGURE THAT OUT EITHER, OR WHY HE ADMITTED TO OWNING THE PISTOL BUT NOT THE RIFLE. WHAT'S WITH THAT? WE'RE GOING TO START A THREAD FOR A "CAREFUL AND SOBER" ANALYSIS OF THE INTERROGATION SESSIONS REAL SOON, SO STICK AROUND AND MAYBE WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT.

And you think it's just a coincidence that OSWALD'S prints were all over the boxes in the Sniper's Nest--the same nest where Kennedy's killer was located at 12:30 PM?

WELL, AS OSWALD HIMSELF SAID, "i WORK IN THAT BUILDING," AND WHO WERE THE OTHER HALF DOZEN PRINTS - COPS - AS THE BOXES WERE NEVER PROTECTED AND EVERYBODY WHO HANDLED THEM PUT THEIR PRINTS ON THEM. AND DAVE, WHO DO YOU THINK WAS SEEN IN THE SNIPER'S NEST WINDOW BY THE COURT CLERK FROM ACROSS THE STREET WHEN OSWALD WAS WITH BAKER AND TRULY? WHO WAS THAT GUY, MOVING BOXES AROUND, AND ARE HIS PRINTS ON THE BOXES TOO?

AND DAVE, THANKS FOR CALLING THE SIXTH FLOOR SNIPER "KENNEDY'S KILLER" AND NOT OSWALD. YOU MAY MAKE A GOOD CSI SOMEDAY.

My, what lucky patsy plotters.

I DON'T THINK LUCK HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. I THINK THEY HAD IT DOWN PAT AND ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS LEAVE THE SHELLS AND RIFLE TO BE FOUND AND OSWALD WOULD BE IMPLICATED. THOSE WHO PLANNED THE ASSASSINATION DIDN'T CARE IF IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE MORE THAN OSWALD - AS LONG AS THE DOGS CHASED OZZIE THE RABBIT, THE SIXTH FLOOR SNIPER COULD JUST TAKE HIS TIME TO SLIP AWAY.

THOSE WHO PLOTTED THE MURDER AND SETTING UP OSWALD AS THE PATSY WANTED THE CASTRO-COMMIE CONSPIRACY TO BE DISCOVERED AND FOLLOWED, AND THE LONE NUT SCENARIO ONLY CAME INTO PLAY WHEN THE COVER STORY DIDN'T PAN OUT.

YOU SHOULD KNOW ALL OF THIS STUFF DAVE,

Sarah Stanton. You still haven't shown us where she is in the footage with Frazier standing near the top of the steps. He said he spoke to her just after the shots. Where is she?

It appears that you are cherry-picking your way through a bunch of statements in order to arrive at your preferred conclusion. You can not reasonably claim that Prayer Man is Oswald when you can't even say for sure Prayer Man is a man.

So that's one person on the steps who could be "Prayer Man." Shall we go for another?

How about Roy Lewis? He said he was alone in the entrance of the building when the shots were fired and that Oswald wasn't with him at the time of the shooting. If he's not Prayer Man, and Oswald was, then he would have to be considered a part of the cover-up.

Could he be Prayer Man? Why not? Because he's a negro? Couldn't he have been a light-skinned negro? I honestly don't know Lewis' skin tone. Do you?

What is it about Prayer Man that makes you so sure it's a white male? And Oswald? It's hard for me to believe that a number of people not involved in the conspiracy (Baker, Truly, Frazier, Lewis, Reid and ???) would all pretend they either didn't see Oswald at the front of the building after the shots, or that they did see him elsewhere in the building, and then keep this secret for decades.

I don't know who Prayer Man is. If you could identify all the people on the steps, and show how they were all employees of the TSBD, that would be a solid start toward making the case Oswald was Prayer Man, and that a number of people lied to cover it up.

There are no short-cuts around this, IMO.

I'm cherry-picking my way through a bunch of statements, Pat?

All I did was quote, without omission, the relevant text from www.patspeer.com.

If you now suddenly disagree with the following analysis--

Although Mrs. Saunders [sic] tells us almost nothing on how the shots were fired, her brief statements are at least of some assistance in clearing up some other mysteries. For one, she says she left the lunch room at 12:20, but has no recollection of seeing Oswald on the day of the shooting. This works against Oswald's being in the second floor lunch room at that time. For two, she says she stood on the east side of the top step, and worked on the second floor. This, along with Billy Lovelady's claim the woman shielding her eyes in the Altgens photo worked on the second floor, suggests the possibility Saunders was this woman. If not her, then Stanton.

--then I suggest you take the matter up with yourself and the two of you work up an amended version of the text.

I'm in a helpful mood so here's a first draft:

Although Mrs. Saunders [sic] tells us almost nothing on how the shots were fired, her brief statements are of no real assistance in clearing up any other mysteries. For one, she says she left the lunch room at 12:20, but has no recollection of seeing Oswald on the day of the shooting. This works against Oswald's being in the second floor lunch room at that time. For two, she says she stood on the east side of the top step, and worked on the second floor. But can we believe her? Her statement, along with Billy Lovelady's claim the woman shielding her eyes in the Altgens photo worked on the second floor, may suggest[ ] the possibility Saunders was this woman. If not her, then Stanton. However, it is perfectly possible and cannot be disproven that Stanton herself got down on her hands and knees, crawled over to the west side of the front entrance in order to secure a lousier view of the motorcade's progress and was subsequently too embarrassed to mention this fact to anyone. ANALYSIS: There is no hard evidence on record that Stanton was a feminine female, but every possibility she was a masculine female.

**

As for Sarah Stanton showing up in Altgens or Wiegman, why should she? Witness statements place her back in the shadows with Frazier and Pauline Sanders.

This may well be her to Frazier's immediate left in Darnell:

sFrr2JP.jpg

We have no earthly reason to believe that Sarah Stanton could possibly be Prayer Man.

Yet you insist on raising this profoundly silly idea.

Why?

**

Prayer Man a "light-skinned Negro"?

You cannot possibly be serious.

What's next?

Buell Wesley Frazier is a "dark-complected Caucasian"?

Who's next on your list, Pat?

Avery Davis

Judy McCully

Ruth Dean

Madie Reese

Carl Jones

Roy Lewis

Joe Molina

Otis Williams

Pauline Sanders

Sarah Stanton

Bill Shelley

Billy Lovelady

Buell Wesley Frazier

Perhaps you'd like to make the case for Billy Lovelady again?

No, I never met Marion Baker but looking at the video interviews with him he comes across very credible to me.

And if what Roffman says about the second floor lunchroom encounter excludes the possibility of Oswald descending the steps from the sixth floor, how could he be the Sixth Floor Sniper.

i don't believe that Baker or Truly were told to say anything, were coached by anyone, or someone wrote a contrived script that set up a fictional second floor encounter that the three people involved have described in detail.

If you believe that the encounter with Baker that exonerates Oswald was contrived, tell us who contrived it? Who is behind the charade? Who is the scriptwriter and who is pulling the strings? I want to know.

As with those who try to blame Oswald or promote any conspiracy theory, only the evidence that supports your theory is presented, while all others are ignored or said to be lies or fiction.

I prefer G. Kinston Clark's principles as elaborated on here: http://jfkcountercoup.blogspot.com/2013/09/g.html

G. Kinston Clark, in The Critical Historian, writes:

“The distortion produced by bias are potentially present in any attempt to write history. Sometimes the danger is obvious and menacing, sometimes it is covert, coming from unexpected angles and in not easily detected forms. ….Any interpretation which makes use of facts which can be shown to be false, or accepts as certainty true facts which are dubious, or does not take into account facts which are known, are at best, potentially misleading, and possibly grossly, and dangerously deceptive. ….It is the first task of the historian to review any narrative to find what links are missing altogether…where what is defective cannot be supplied by further research, it is an historian’s duty to draw attention to the fact so that men can know where they stand.…Any historical conception which has not been adjusted to the most recent results will cease to be satisfactory.”

Bill,

How exactly does your or Roffman's analysis of the second-floor lunchroom incident exclude the Oswald-behind-the-door-window scenario I have outlined? Please be specific.

Are you still claiming that Oswald himself described the second-floor lunchroom incident in detail? Where are you getting this idea from? Please be specific by citing the relevant document(s).

Bill,

You have several times stated that Lee Oswald himself confirmed in detail the second-floor lunchroom story as told by Baker and Truly.

You seem to be basing this claim on the two following sources:

1. "... I asked Oswald where he was when the police officer stopped him. He said he was on the second floor drinking a coca cola when the officer came in." (Captain Will Fritz, Interrogation Report)

2. "Oswald stated that on November 22, 1963, at the time of the search of the Texas School Book Depository building by Dallas police officers, he was on the second floor of said building, having just purchased a Coca-cola from the soft-drink machine, at which time a police officer came into the room with pistol drawn and asked him if he worked there." (FBI Special Agent James Bookhout, Interrogation Report)

In both instances, Oswald is reported as having claimed to have already bought a coca cola by the time the officer came in the lunchroom. Fritz even has Oswald state that he was actually drinking said coca cola at the time.

This version of events is clearly irreconcilable with Baker's description in his WC testimony of the circumstances under which he caught his first glimpse of Oswald.

Now:

Do you maintain that Oswald really said those things under interrogation?

If not, how can you possibly ask us to depend upon these interrogation report statements?

If so, do you believe Oswald was lying?--Or, do you believe Baker was lying in his WC testimony?

I would appreciate, in the interests of constructive and meaningful dialogue, direct answers from you to these simple questions.

Bill,

Is it still your contention that we have a detailed description from Lee Oswald of the second-floor lunchroom incident?

If so, do you believe he claimed to have already bought the coke by the time the officer came into the lunchroom?

I think Richard's Timeline helps a lot, and it should be expanded to include Shelley and Lovelady and Frazer movements after the last shot and other items that are appropriate.

Richard"s

Questions and observations:

1. Electrical Power Events: Geneva Hine's phone system lights go off, just before12:30. Was this a power outage or just no calls at that time?; Truly and Baker are unable to get an elevator down from the 5th floor less than a minute after the shots. Sandra Styles said she and Vicky Adams tried the passenger elevator in front, but when it did not work, they went to the backstairs. The West elevator has power when Mooney gets on the 1st floor,then loses power on the 2nd floor, 12:33-12:36. Who cut power to elevator at that precise moment? Select Elevator circuits and possibly he phone system circuit were reported off, but I have seen no report of all power to the TSBD being off, which would have happened if the Main Circuit breaker was thrown. The 3 elevators would have been on their own dedicated circuits, as would the phone system. The evidence supports the possibility that selected circuits may have been turned on/off at various times just before and after 12:30. This rules out random fuse failure (or circuit breakers being tripped) and supports the notion of manipulation of the power circuits. Was the Fuse/Breaker box located in the basement of the TSBD?

2. Why is there no exchange of information with Mooney when he is passing the men he believes might be DPD officers on the stairs? They would have been the very first respondents on the scene. If you were Mooney, wouldn't you at least ask them a few questions … like Had they seen a man with a rifle roaming around on an upper floor? And why were they were leaving the scene so soon?

3. There are three general descriptions of unknown men seen on the upper floors, in some cases with rifles, just before and at the time of the shooting:

First man: a younger white man who was slender.

Second man: another white man who may have been older, heavier, and wearing a tan jacket or coat and possibly glasses.

Third man: a dark complected man who may have been Latin/Mexican/Negro.

4. Secret Service men were reported on the back entrance dock and at the front entrance within minutes of the shots, and well before Forrest Sorrels was the first actual SS agent to return to Dealey Plaza/ TSBD.

5. Unidentified men who were thought to be police officers:

A. "Some" plain clothes officers seen by Officer Mooney as he ascends the NW stairs from the 2nd floor

B. Weatherford searches the 1st floor with an unknown DPD detective

6. Unidentified Civilians:

A. Man seen in front elevator by Sawyer

B. Two men seen by rear elevator seen by Baker (may be Lovelady and Shelley)

7. Individuals seen leaving the scene:

A. Man seen by Worrel

B. Man seen by Carr

C. Man seen by Craig

D. Woman in car arrested by Craig.

You are right, Bill. The Timeline is ripe to be updated. Including the items you have mentioned, here is the short list of updates I believe are appropriate to include:

1. PrayerMan coming out onto the steps

2. Movement of Lovelady, Shelley, and Frazier after leaving steps

3. Vicky Adams encounter with what she believes are 2 plain clothes DPD in the West Elevator on the 2nd floor (after power has gone out)

4. Denham arrest of subject on 3rd floor

THOSE WHO PLOTTED THE MURDER AND SETTING UP OSWALD AS THE PATSY WANTED THE CASTRO-COMMIE CONSPIRACY TO BE DISCOVERED AND FOLLOWED, AND THE LONE NUT SCENARIO ONLY CAME INTO PLAY WHEN THE COVER STORY DIDN'T PAN OUT.

YOU SHOULD KNOW ALL OF THIS STUFF DAVE.

Sure I know all of that stuff, Bill. Does that mean I have to swallow it like you have?

You're the one who swallowed the Patsy cover-story hook, line and sinker, and after being corrected, and are in denial and refuse to believe you've been suckered. You can't cheat an honest man.

You asked me questions that I answered, why don't you answer mine?

How did the rifle get in the building if Frazer didn't drive it from Irving?

How did the rifle get from Dallas to New Orleans and back again if Oswald didn't take it with him on the bus?

Who was that man in the window when Oswald was with Baker and Truly on the second floor?

Did that man leave fingerprints on the boxes, which were moved around while he was there - as the photo evidence proves?

How many fingerprints are on the boxes besides Oswald's (and Malcolm Wallace's) and the Cops?

You asked the questions, why not answer them?

I'll add in one more relevant item.

An FBI memorandum states that when administering a polygraph to Frazier the evening of the assassination, the Dallas police showed Frazier the actual bag which was being represented as having

been used by Oswald to carry his rifle into the TSBD just that morning. The actual bag, that Frazier would have seen that same morning. Frazier was adamant that it was not the bag Oswald

had carried into his car just that morning and the polygraph confirmed his truthfulness.

To my knowledge the transcript of that polygraph session has never surfaced and there have been a variety of conflicting remarks by very DPD officers in regard to it. If the FBI memo is accurate

there would not only have been a major hole in the case against Oswald but a serious question as to the origin of the bag in question.

"12:31: Officer Baker enters TSBD front Entrance, runs past "Prayer Man" and goes to back w Truly, who shouts twice to release elevator. (no response). They see 2 white men by the elevators. (probably Shelley and Lovelady according to Adams) 21"

I am still trying to understand how Lovelady and Shelley were able to proceed West on Elm St. to the concrete island, plus able to look back and see Truly/Baker entering the TSBD, yet be waiting in the vicinity of the elevators to be spotted first by Vicki Adams and then by Marrion Baker; especially if we read Shelley's testimony, in which he describes himself and Lovelady then going to the railroad yards before returning to the TSBD by the rear door. By her testimony, I think Miss Adams was on her way out of the building through the back door before Truly/Baker arrived at the elevators. If not, there is no way they could have not run into each other on the stairs.

Also, according to Miss Adams' testimony, she had returned from the railroad yard to the TSBD and stopped to listen to the two way radio on a police motorcycle parked in front of the TSBD. Presumably, this was Baker's motorcycle, further proving she had managed to get out of the TSBD before Truly and Baker had entered.

No, I never met Marion Baker but looking at the video interviews with him he comes across very credible to me.

And if what Roffman says about the second floor lunchroom encounter excludes the possibility of Oswald descending the steps from the sixth floor, how could he be the Sixth Floor Sniper.

i don't believe that Baker or Truly were told to say anything, were coached by anyone, or someone wrote a contrived script that set up a fictional second floor encounter that the three people involved have described in detail.

If you believe that the encounter with Baker that exonerates Oswald was contrived, tell us who contrived it? Who is behind the charade? Who is the scriptwriter and who is pulling the strings? I want to know.

As with those who try to blame Oswald or promote any conspiracy theory, only the evidence that supports your theory is presented, while all others are ignored or said to be lies or fiction.

I prefer G. Kinston Clark's principles as elaborated on here: http://jfkcountercoup.blogspot.com/2013/09/g.html

G. Kinston Clark, in The Critical Historian, writes:

“The distortion produced by bias are potentially present in any attempt to write history. Sometimes the danger is obvious and menacing, sometimes it is covert, coming from unexpected angles and in not easily detected forms. ….Any interpretation which makes use of facts which can be shown to be false, or accepts as certainty true facts which are dubious, or does not take into account facts which are known, are at best, potentially misleading, and possibly grossly, and dangerously deceptive. ….It is the first task of the historian to review any narrative to find what links are missing altogether…where what is defective cannot be supplied by further research, it is an historian’s duty to draw attention to the fact so that men can know where they stand.…Any historical conception which has not been adjusted to the most recent results will cease to be satisfactory.”

Bill,

How exactly does your or Roffman's analysis of the second-floor lunchroom incident exclude the Oswald-behind-the-door-window scenario I have outlined? Please be specific.

Are you still claiming that Oswald himself described the second-floor lunchroom incident in detail? Where are you getting this idea from? Please be specific by citing the relevant document(s).

Bill,

You have several times stated that Lee Oswald himself confirmed in detail the second-floor lunchroom story as told by Baker and Truly.

You seem to be basing this claim on the two following sources:

1. "... I asked Oswald where he was when the police officer stopped him. He said he was on the second floor drinking a coca cola when the officer came in." (Captain Will Fritz, Interrogation Report)

2. "Oswald stated that on November 22, 1963, at the time of the search of the Texas School Book Depository building by Dallas police officers, he was on the second floor of said building, having just purchased a Coca-cola from the soft-drink machine, at which time a police officer came into the room with pistol drawn and asked him if he worked there." (FBI Special Agent James Bookhout, Interrogation Report)

In both instances, Oswald is reported as having claimed to have already bought a coca cola by the time the officer came in the lunchroom. Fritz even has Oswald state that he was actually drinking said coca cola at the time.

This version of events is clearly irreconcilable with Baker's description in his WC testimony of the circumstances under which he caught his first glimpse of Oswald.

Now:

Do you maintain that Oswald really said those things under interrogation?

If not, how can you possibly ask us to depend upon these interrogation report statements?

If so, do you believe Oswald was lying?--Or, do you believe Baker was lying in his WC testimony?

I would appreciate, in the interests of constructive and meaningful dialogue, direct answers from you to these simple questions.

Bill,

Is it still your contention that we have a detailed description from Lee Oswald of the second-floor lunchroom incident?

If so, do you believe he claimed to have already bought the coke by the time the officer came into the lunchroom?

Sean,

I think the Oswald interrogation sessions must be reviewed in full rather than just plucking a few quotes here and there. I don't know what Oswald told Fritz or any of the cops, or if the cops got the story right from Oswald, though he certainly did mention getting a coke.

I don't know if Oswald said he had already got the coke when Baker stopped him, but if Oswald had just entered the room from the offices - as he would had he gotten change from Mrs. Hine - and would leave by according to Mrs. Reid, then he was on his way to buy the coke and hadn't bought it yet.

When Baker swore out one of his reports - at first he said "coke in hand" and then crossed that out, possibly realizing he only heard about the coke in hand - via Mrs. Reid, after the fact, and Mrs. Reid said the coke was full, so recreating the scene in my mind - Oswald doesn't have the coke when he meets Baker in the lunchroom.

But I agree with you that a review of the interrogation sessions is in order so we can clarify some things like the coke in the chronology.

How did the rifle get in the building if Frazer didn't drive it from Irving?

Frazier, of course, did drive the rifle from Irving to the TSBD on 11/22. That fact couldn't be more obvious. And it's also obvious that the bag found on the sixth floor could easily hold Oswald's disassembled rifle, as this side-by-side photo amply illustrates (the caption of the FBI photo from CD#1 is slightly off when it says that the blanket was found in "Oswald's garage"; it should say Ruth Paine's garage, of course; that is one of dozens of errors made by the FBI during its haste in preparing its 12/9/63 report):

OswaldsRiflePaperBag.jpg

http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?absPageId=327309

Ergo, Wesley Frazier was simply in error about the bag's length.

VINCE BUGLIOSI -- "Is it true that you paid hardly any attention to this bag?"

BUELL WESLEY FRAZIER -- "That is true."

BUGLIOSI -- "So the bag could have been protruding out in front of his body and you wouldn't have been able to see it, is that correct?"

FRAZIER -- "That is true."

http://dvp-potpourri.blogspot.com/2010/07/buell-wesley-frazier.html

Tell us, William Kelly, how did Oswald's prints get on that 38-inch paper bag (CE142) if he didn't handle it at some point prior to the assassination?

How did the rifle get from Dallas to New Orleans and back again if Oswald didn't take it with him on the bus?

Huh? On the bus? The rifle was almost certainly transported back to Dallas from New Orleans via Ruth Paine's station wagon. No mystery there at all. So why create one?

Who was that man in the window when Oswald was with Baker and Truly on the second floor?

There was nobody in the Sniper's Nest window during that time. You surely aren't relying on Lillian Mooneyham's observations about seeing a person in the window several MINUTES after the shooting, are you? The idea that any assassin would just be hanging around the sniper's window (to be easily seen from the outside) for several minutes after having just shot the President is just crazy and everybody knows it.

Mooneyham's times are off--which couldn't be a more common mistake made by witnesses. Another perfect example being Earlene Roberts' estimate of "3 or 4 minutes" for Oswald staying inside his closet-sized room on 11/22, even though Roberts herself contradicted her own "3 or 4 minutes" timeline when she also said that Oswald was in his room "just long enough, I guess, to go in there and get a jacket and put it on". Does that activity usually take a person three or four minutes to accomplish?

Did that man leave fingerprints on the boxes, which were moved around while he was there - as the photo evidence proves?

Well, there was no "man" in the window several minutes after the assassination. But anyway, I do know that OSWALD'S fingerprints and palmprints were on two of the boxes that were located deep within the Sniper's Nest.

Stated another way -- Lee Harvey Oswald's fingers touched the same boxes that were utilized by the person who fired a rifle at President Kennedy.

Do the math. It isn't rocket science--or even 10th grade algebra. It's 1st grade 2+2 arithmetic. You're just looking for an excuse to throw away some very incriminating evidence that corroborates and solidifies all of the other "Oswald Was Here" stuff that is also on the table.

But go ahead and play defense attorney for Oswald if that's your desire. But I doubt a jury would buy it (especially when that same jury considers whose gun deposited those three empty cartridge cases that were lying just a few inches away from Oswald's prints on those boxes).

How many fingerprints are on the boxes besides Oswald's (and Malcolm Wallace's) and the Cops?

I see you've fallen for the myth about Malcolm Wallace's prints being on the TSBD boxes. Of course, Wallace's prints were not on any of those boxes, because the only unidentified print on ANY of the TSBD boxes (per Commission Exhibit 3131) was a palmprint, not a fingerprint. The Wallace thing is a hoax. Simple as that.

Sorry. I guess it did get "off topic" yet again. So easy for that to happen, especially when a person (Bill Kelly) asked me a series of questions within this now-derailed thread. (Of course, Bill isn't to be scolded in this "off topic" regard, is he Bob? Only me.)

Should I have just ignored Bill's list of inquiries to me, Bob?

BACK ON TRACK -

I'd like to know who came first - Baker and Truley or Vicky Adams and her friend? Can anyone tell me whether Baker and Truly went up the back steps before the girls came down, or was it vise versa?

Questions and observations:

1. Electrical Power Events: Geneva Hine's phone system lights go off, just before12:30. Was this a power outage or just no calls at that time?; Truly and Baker are unable to get an elevator down from the 5th floor less than a minute after the shots. Sandra Styles said she and Vicky Adams tried the passenger elevator in front, but when it did not work, they went to the backstairs. The West elevator has power when Mooney gets on the 1st floor,then loses power on the 2nd floor, 12:33-12:36. Who cut power to elevator at that precise moment? Select Elevator circuits and possibly he phone system circuit were reported off, but I have seen no report of all power to the TSBD being off, which would have happened if the Main Circuit breaker was thrown. The 3 elevators would have been on their own dedicated circuits, as would the phone system. The evidence supports the possibility that selected circuits may have been turned on/off at various times just before and after 12:30. This rules out random fuse failure (or circuit breakers being tripped) and supports the notion of manipulation of the power circuits. Was the Fuse/Breaker box located in the basement of the TSBD?

2. Why is there no exchange of information with Mooney when he is passing the men he believes might be DPD officers on the stairs? They would have been the very first respondents on the scene. If you were Mooney, wouldn't you at least ask them a few questions … like Had they seen a man with a rifle roaming around on an upper floor? And why were they were leaving the scene so soon?

3. There are three general descriptions of unknown men seen on the upper floors, in some cases with rifles, just before and at the time of the shooting:
First man: a younger white man who was slender.
Second man: another white man who may have been older, heavier, and wearing a tan jacket or coat and possibly glasses.
Third man: a dark complected man who may have been Latin/Mexican/Negro.

4. Secret Service men were reported on the back entrance dock and at the front entrance within minutes of the shots, and well before Forrest Sorrels was the first actual SS agent to return to Dealey Plaza/ TSBD.

5. Unidentified men who were thought to be police officers:
A. "Some" plain clothes officers seen by Officer Mooney as he ascends the NW stairs from the 2nd floor
B. Weatherford searches the 1st floor with an unknown DPD detective

6. Unidentified Civilians:
A. Man seen in front elevator by Sawyer
B. Two men seen by rear elevator seen by Baker (may be Lovelady and Shelley)

7. Individuals seen leaving the scene:
A. Man seen by Worrel
B. Man seen by Carr
C. Man seen by Craig
D. Woman in car arrested by Craig.

1. PrayerMan coming out onto the steps

2. Movement of Lovelady, Shelley, and Frazier after leaving steps

3. Vicky Adams encounter with what she believes are 2 plain clothes DPD in the West Elevator on the 2nd floor (after power has gone out)

4. Denham arrest of subject on 3rd floor

Other items I want to add, but need to get a good time range on:

• Gloria Calvary encounter with Lovelady and Shelley

• Truly call to Aikens to get Oswald info from Employment application

• Lovelady and Shelley moving to guard the elevators

And anything on the whereabouts of Jack Daugherty.

I would welcome any input for time-stamping the above items, with citations of course.
