The Nov 20th Janitor Phonecall

[Gerry Down]

So far the only thing I see propping up the viability of Yvonne Coopers claim is that the Nov 20th toll tickets, according to the FBI documents on this thread, might not have been examined. 

That potentially leaves Nov 20th as the date for the call Mrs Cooper recalled.

The last I have is him trying to arrange an IBM search on the pre-21 toll-tickets, (some 70,000). I can't find if that was done.

I will pick-this up tomorrow sometime

Who are these two new hot shot researchers Gerry Downs and Tom Gram?

Wow!

They're really something.

 

Is this sarcasm?

I was an adviser to Judyth and helped her understanding the evidence. I warned her about making unbased claims as we often see them in this group. She did not listen to me, and her credibility crashed ever after. She should have listened to me because I am the best researcher out there and have the best brain.

The other parts of JVBs claim do not seem to hold up. She said that Oswald made a long-distance phonecall from a laundromat on the night of Nov 20th to her. The report coming from the laundromat near LHOs rooming house, Renos Laundromat, only has Oswald staying late at the laundromat that night with no reference to him making any phonecall:

Its odd LHO would have been doing laundry this night because he had been doing his laundry there on Saturday Nov 16th too according to LHOs landlady:

Also, JVB mentioned that there were reports of LHO making long-distance phonecalls from a gas station near 1026 North Beckley. The only reference to this gas station, presumably the Gulf gas station, I have been able to find is the fact Marguerite Oswald called to the Gulf gas station near Oswalds rooming house once after the assassination looking for Oswalds old rooming house:

Mr. Davis of the Gulf gas station was interviewed by the FBI after the assassination and did not recall LHO ever being there:

The only other mention of these long distance phonecalls is mentioned in the 1966 book "The Second Oswald". Does anyone have a copy of this book handy and perhaps screenshot what that page of the book says about these long distance phonecalls:

Is it possible that the janitor phonecall had anything to do with Hosty checking to make sure LHO was working at the TSBD? Apparently he made some phonecall to the TSBD to check.

Bit of a long shot, but for this theory to work Hosty would have had to get a female colleague in New Orleans to make the phonecall to the TSBD to make this check. Though Nov 20th seems a bit late for this check up. I thought Hosty had done it earlier in November.
