The Truth about the WC at Last

[Albert Doyle]

The main problem with Oswald being in the Altgens photo is that he denies it himself, and tells Fritz and the boys he was in the lunchroom. Why would Oswald give up a verifiable alibi for a less verifiable one?

I agree. Fetzer, of course, would say Oswald told Fritz he was "Out on the front steps with Shelley". However that isn't an honest interpretation of Fritz's shorthand that says after all the lunchroom business Oswald went out - with Shelley being on the front steps when he did.

None of this really answers how several other Depository witnesses could put Oswald getting change from the secretaries on the 2nd floor at the time of the shooting. Or even DiEugenio's analysis of Carolyn Arnold's statement that really said "12:25" as the time she witnessed Oswald sitting in the lunchroom. The problem doorway Oswald advocates have is they have to get Oswald from the lunchroom at 12:25 down to the front steps unwitnessed. Have him out there unwitnessed, and then back upstairs unwitnessed.

Meanwhile if you look at the Prayerman photo people are headed towards the Depository steps. The photo exists in a dynamic scene where, at this time in the assassination, people are headed towards the Depository entrance. That makes it nearly impossible that Oswald would not be witnessed by the numerous people that would have to be shoulder to shoulder with him in the Depository front door when he went back inside.
