Altgens 6: Case for Alteration?

[Jack White]

A hypothesis for your consideration:

The controversial Billy Lovelady/Lee Harvey Oswald figure depicted in the so-called Altgens 6 photograph is a doctored image comprised of Lovelady's head on LHO's body as photographed when Oswald was in custody and wearing the shirt in which he was captured; additionally, the left sleeve of the Altgen 6 figure's shirt is from Lovelady's plaid shirt.

My hypothesis can be dismissed if the first documented public viewing of Altgens 6 in its current form took place before such forgery could be reasonably expected to have taken place.

I remain agnostic on this matter, and I eagerly invite your interpretations and clarifications.

Thanks.

Charles...The question of AUTHENTICITY of "Altgen's 6" is a good one,
but I think your hypothesis is faulty.

Based on years of study, here are a few of my observations:

1. I disagree with contentions that the man in the doorway is Lovelady,
based on photos and other evidence too lengthy to mention.
2. I doubt that the man is "Oswald" for many reasons, among which he
is alleged to have been in the 2nd floor snack room at that time.
3. A cut and paste job like you speculate is too complicated; simple
retouching would do the job.
4. I believe that this and several other "Altgens" photos are very suspicious
and may have been part of a "smoke and mirrors" false trail.
5. I have found all of MY studies of the issue to be INCONCLUSIVE.
6. If the man is Lovelady, the issue is much ado about nothing.
7. If the man is "Oswald", the issue was important enough to COVER UP.
8. The issue is complicated by Lee, Harvey and other doppelgangers.

The issue was one of the earliest, and has been studied copiously for
decades without resolution. This thread will not solve it either, but may
elucidate the uninformed.

PS...thanks for the two images. They precisely show the best comparison!
