Thanks, Jean Paul. Flip de Mey's analysis of the Martha Jo Stroud letter is convincing.

As to whether Adams did or did not say she saw Shelley and Lovelady on the first floor, De May has hedged his bets a little (page 24: "The Commission misused a mistake in the Adams-testimony (the sighting of Shelley and Lovelady on the ground-floor), or perhaps even added that element to her deposition.")

In my view, the Ernst/Armstrong debate about whether Adams did or did not identify Shelley and Lovelady on the first floor is not likely to get us anywhere. 

William Hoyt Shelley remains a very suspicious figure, regardless of whatever Adams did or did not say.
