PRAYER PERSON - PRAYER MAN OR PRAYER WOMAN? RESEARCH THREAD
Ian Lloyd replied to a topic in JFK Research
Roy, Good stuff!!! Can you post the pics you have of JED please? I'm sure a lot of people here would be extremely interested in them since he seems to be such an elusive character. -
PRAYER PERSON - PRAYER MAN OR PRAYER WOMAN? RESEARCH THREAD
Ian Lloyd replied to a topic in JFK Research
IIRC, BWF (not WBF) was asked the question at a recent conference he was attending (in the last year or so) and BWF said he couldn't recall who it was that was standing there and that the photograph was too blurry for him to figure it out. Jack Dougherty is an interesting character too... -

Jim, The time that the ambulance service received the call (time stamped at 1:18) is the only question mark in the 1:06 shooting time. This would give LHO more time to arrive at the murder scene. However, this 'late' time would require convincing the ambulance company and crew to lie about the times, and that would be more than a bit suspicious to them. Would they lie? The police were present at the hospital when JDT was pronounced. The only explanation of the 1:06 or 1:09 TOD was if they supplied that information. It was later changed to 1:15. DPD could have done the type-over at any time. Barbara J. Davis called about 1:08 reporting a shooting (not knowing it was a police officer). IIRC T.F.Bowley looked at his watch and noted his arrival time as 1:10. The latest that DPD should have received his "Officer Down" call would be about 1:12. That is a long, long time for DPD to wait to make the ambulance call. Unless of course they wanted to be certain JDT did not survive the shooting... 1 minute to the shooting scene 3 minutes to load JDT 4-5 minute drive to hospital 2 minutes to ER 2 minutes to work on JDT, as they stated they did... Total time: 12 (very optimistic) minutes According to Bowley reporting at 1:12, they would not have pronounced JDT until 1:24... I only found this doc which pronounces JDT at 1:25, AFTER calculating the above times: If they received a 1:18 call they certainly didn't pronounce him at 1:15, and given the 1:10 arrival time of Bowley, 1:15 couldn't be the time JDT was pronounced. IMO, the 1:15 time was the time DPD WANTED the shooting to have occurred, but it actually happened at 1:06. Does DPD state a time that Barbara Jeannette Davis' call was received? Tom When I enlarge this, the '2' in the 1:25 looks like it's been altered...

Chris, I remember looking into the JFK docs on MF some years ago trying to find information on weapons sounding like firecrackers and actually found something - can't recall whether it was an FBI doc or whatever but it definitely described a handgun of some kind that, when fired, made a sound like a firecracker...may be worth a search?

If we assume for a moment that there was only one Oswald at the TSBD that day, I would conclude from reading the above, and from reading the testimony of the bus driver and the teenager on the bus, that it was our Oswald (the one killed by Ruby) who got into the Rambler. And that the person who got into the bus was not Oswald. Correct me if I am wrong, but the testimony pointing to Oswald being on the bus is quite weak. Neither the bus driver nor the teenager got a good look at him. On the other hand, there were a number of witnesses who saw Oswald entering the Rambler, even some who knew him. Remember also, Oswald's response under interrogation when he said that the station wagon was Ruth Paine's, and not to bring her into this. Why would Oswald have said this had the interrogators not brought up the car he had hopped into? Now, there is one problem with this analysis. (At least one, anyway.) And that is that Ruth Paine supposedly didn't own a Rambler station wagon, according to an FBI report. In JFK and the Unspeakable, author James Douglass dismisses that FBI report. So apparently he believes that Ruth Paine did indeed own a Rambler station wagon. I'd love to hear other people's thoughts on this. I know that what I'm saying here contradicts a portion of Armstrong's essay. But I think that challenging it when warranted is the right thing to do. (And I say that as an Armstrong fan.) In the second photograph within the linked article showing a view of the Paine house, part of a station-wagon can be seen parked on the driveway in front of the garage (behind what appears to be BWF's car?) - can anyone tell what make/model car this is?

Comparing the White Jacket to CE 162
Ian Lloyd replied to Gil Jesus's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Is there a photograph of the B-9738 laundry tag available anywhere? -
No foresight? There seem to be cops milling around the street outside the TSBD and quite a few people standing around there...not sure if I see Robert West in one of the pics - I wonder if these were taken during one of the assassination reenactments? Also looks like the scope is strapped on - can the bolt be operated and a cartridge ejected?

There Was No Bullet Wound in John F. Kennedy's Throat
Ian Lloyd replied to Ashton Gray's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
You call them "holes", but do they only look like that now due to some of the material having been cut away for spectographic analysis? Actually, a further thought on that - was a 'control sample' also removed from the shirt for comparison? If so from where? -
Can you point me to the evidence that shows: The self closer on the second floor stairwell door is a safety device for fire, not noise abatement. The double doors at the end of the hall, like on 3rd floor, were the original fire doors(by the #27) But as you can see smoke and fire could proceed through the spaces via lunchroom to the stairwell.The odd shaped room was added as the interior occupied spaces (lunchroom, Conference, etc) were exposed to the stairwell, so a partition was added to separate them, and be compliant with an self closing door. Now interior had a way to access the lunchroom without having to enter and exit a self closing door, and as you may have noticed in the re-enactment videos, and photos those 2nd floor hallway double doors are always open. as allowed. Please?

So, we've got Baker & Truly heading up the stairs at a high rate of knots, adrenaline pumping, on the lookout for a killer... I'm guessing their awareness of their surroundings is somewhat heightened and they're on the alert for any movements, noises etc. They're standing in the foyer/vestibule area questioning a person since MB, in his heightened awareness state spotted movement behind a vision panel in a door but, either they fail to hear 2 ladies running down the stairs or, if they did hear them decided that the noise wasn't worth investigating? Hmmmm...
-
Not that it's really on topic, but what's been bugging me about this is what that foyer/vestibule between the stairway landing and the 2nd floor lunchroom is actually there for...Fire? Noise? I don't really think either of these...looking closely at the photos, there is what appears to be a sprinkler pipe passing through the wall but the hole looks like it's cut quite 'loosely' and not sealed which makes me think the foyer/vestibule is a later addition...

Ian, Care to speculate where Baker ran to, if not up the TSBD front steps, about 30 seconds after the assassination? Care to speculate as to why there were no witnesses who said anything about where Baker sprinted to (other than "in front of the TSBD" for a few seconds), and what he did once he got there? Cowboy Bob needs all the help he can get with these little details. --Tommy Tommy, You know that my reply was in response to your post that you subsequently deleted and replaced with a new post as I was responding to your initial post...(if you can follow that!!)... Yes, Ian I was hoping you wouldn't notice that. The Bad Guys pay me a lot of money to do that sort of thing here from time to time. Nice catch, Old Boy. --Tommy Ha!! I was just having a bit of fun anyway...

Re-Post from ROKC: re Baker entering TSBD
Ian Lloyd replied to Robert Prudhomme's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Who is the person marked as no. 2? Has the person marked as no. 3 got an extra pair of legs? Or maybe it's just my eyesight fooling me... -
There Was No Bullet Wound in John F. Kennedy's Throat
Ian Lloyd replied to Ashton Gray's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Hey Bob, Ian and Ashton, In an FBI memo, the damage to the tie is described as "a HOLE in the outer layer of the tie that exposes the white inner lining". So there's a HOLE in the outer layer, and a NICK in the tie... Does everyone agree that the 'stain' is a dried blood clot? Tom Agreed. I wonder why the FBI report describes the damage to the front of the shirt as having been caused by a "fragment"? Where did they get that from? Would seem to shoot down the SBT!!! (Get it?)... -

Is it daylight? Isn't it the white 'filler' within the the tie that we see through a hole in the outer fabric of the tie? -
There Was No Bullet Wound in John F. Kennedy's Throat
Ian Lloyd replied to Ashton Gray's topic in JFK Assassination Debate
Robert, How about a little experiment? As I understand it, you go shooting so own guns? How about getting an old shirt and firing a (reduced velocity) bullet through it in the same position as the slits in JFK's shirt appear and see if you can replicate those slits? Maybe post photos of the results? -
I wasn't doubting you. I know how unreliable Wiki can be and was just highlighting it. I guess Wiki needs editing.
