by Adams. Who were these lookalikes? What are the odds of one picture showing
3 lookalikes for 3 CIA operatives associated with the assassination? Even if all
three are not the people they look like, THAT IS HARDLY TRIFLING.
As for Prouty, I do not believe that he was accept at face value that the image
is that of Adams. He tended to look beyond "official explanations."

Tell me, Jack -- who accepted AT FACE VALUE that the image is that of Adams? I certainly did not.
No one has said that Conein was not in Dealey Plaza, although you and Fetzer keep implying it; it's a convenient smoke screen. And "trifle" was your word, not mine.
Morgan...I am not an investigator. I analyze photos. I do not make
trips to interview witnesses. I do not make long distance phone calls.
I am mainly interested in looking at evidence like photos, documents
and books.
Looking at the Eaglesham original identification of the Altgens man
as Conein, I was impressed that there was a great resemblance. Years
later when he changed his mind and said NO, IT WAS A MAN NAMED
ADAMS, I looked at photos he sent me of Adams and was NOT equally
impressed. Most of the Adams photos he sent did NOT look like the
man in Altgens (only one did). But the fact that there was a Dallas
lookalike for the man diminished the chances of the photo showing
Conein, but did not eliminate them. I made my position well known
on JFK forums for several years. The Altgens man is NOT IMPORTANT
if it is NOT Conein, whether it is Adams or anyone else.
My position remains UNCHANGED from the time Adams was introduced
into the scene. PHOTO COMPARISONS are inconclusive. There is a
VERY STRONG REASON that I do not ID Adams in photo comparisons.
The supranasal ridge is totally different. ADAMS PHOTOS show a man
with VERY WIDELY SPACED EYEBROWS, as I have shown and stated
on every occasion. The Altgens man has closely spaced eyebrows.
Therefore, BASED ON PHOTOS (and not witness interviews nor opinions
of others) I cannot change my opinion that comparison of photos
is inconclusive.
In the investigation of the murder of JFK, the misidentification of lack
of identification of spectators along the curb route, IS A TRIFLE lacking
significance, UNLESS an UNIDENTIFIED person can be identified as
someone of suspicion. IF the man on the curb IS Adams, it is totally
irrelevant to the investigation. IF the man is associated with the CIA,
it becomes very relevant. To me, this is self apparent, and I see no
reason to change any conclusion I have drawn from study of photos.
Attached is an additional photo of Adams. Note the great distance
between the eyebrows over the nose, not present in the "Altgens"
photo.
Keep warm. It is 11 degrees here right now.

You are mistaken. I never sent you photographs of Robert Adams.
OK...then someone associated with you did. I did not invent them.
I remember it being you, but if I am wrong, I do not know who else
sent them. It is so long ago that I no longer have the email which
contained them. So who sent them?
