Hi there Gordon...
That's a great question...
Personally, I do not think that Bledsoe saw anyone who could be mistaken for Oswald.. the "Torn buttons" give her away... as Oswald's buttons were not torn until the THEATER
and he had changed clothes at home first... Mary was given a story to tell... as was Whaley imo.
If an Oswald lookalike was in Whaley's cab, we do learn this person walked EAST and SOUTH when he got out...
You may also want to reread Whaley's testimony... here's a cab driver who knows the area like the back of his hand:
The CHAIRMAN. The witness has been driving a taxicab in Dallas for 36 years.
Mr. WHALEY. Thirty-seven, sir.
The CHAIRMAN. Thirty-seven.
Mr. WHALEY. You name an intersection in the city of Dallas and I will tell you what is on all four corners.
Mr. BALL. Did you stop and let your passenger out on this run on the north or south side of the intersection?
Mr. WHALEY. On the north side, sir.
Mr. BALL. North side?
Mr. WHALEY. Yes.
Mr. BALL. That would be--
Mr. WHALEY. Northwest corner.
Mr. BALL. Northwest corner of Neches and Beckley?
Mr. WHALEY. Northwest corner of Neches and Beckley
(See attached map - he's not even close)
Mr. BALL. When you parked your car you parked on what street?
Mr. WHALEY. I wasn't parked, I was pulled to the curb on Neches and North Beckley.
Mr. BALL. Neches, corner of Neches and North Beckley?
Mr. WHALEY. Which is the 500 block.
Mr. BALL. What direction was your car?
Mr. WHALEY. South.
Mr. BALL. The cab was headed?
Mr. WHALEY. South.
Mr. BALL. And it would be on the west side of the street?
Mr. WHALEY. Parked, stopped on the west side of the intersection, yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. When he got out of the tab did he go around in front of your tab?
Mr. WHALEY. He went around in front, yes, sir; crossed the street.
Mr. BALL. Across to the east side of the street?
Mr. WHALEY. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Did you see whether he walked south?
Mr. WHALEY. I didn't see whether he walked north or south from there.
Mr. BALL. In other words, he walked east from your cab and that is the last time you saw him?
Mr. WHALEY. Yes, sir.
It is also my opinion that the honk-honk of the police car was a signal to Oswald (who may even have been dropped off by this car or the Rambler)
That Oswald was taken to the Theater by these men - which is why no one sees him traveling from Beckley to the theater
and the Whaley fare winds up doing the Tippit killing..
