Albert: I wonder if you could point me to the book or article or quote by Geneva Hines about the coke money cause she doesn't say anything like that in her WC testimony. I haven't read your material.
That said, there is something strange about the way she responded to questions:
"Mr. BALL. Did you see Oswald come in?
[size=12][size=12]
Miss HINE. My back would have been to the door he was supposed to have
come in at.
Mr. BALL. Were you facing the door he is supposed to have left by?
Miss HINE. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Do you recall seeing him?
Miss HINE. No, sir."
You would think the answer to "did you see him?," would be a yes or no. Instead she offers an explanation. And you are left to wonder why she thinks Oswald was supposed to do something a particular way, or why she is "supposing" that something did or didn't happen if she didn't see it. Is she saying that someone told her that Oswald did "x" but she didn't see "x" happen?
And Ball seems to be deliberately obscuring the unresponsiveness of her answer by adopting her turn of phrase.
[size=12]Ms. Hines is ("supposedly") wandering around the building right after the shooting, knocking on doors and rattling doorknobs (I "suppose" looking for help). She runs past the elevator twice? Other than a woman talking on a phone behind a locked door, she doesn't see anyone on the second floor, or the stairs, or the elevator, until a group of her fellow employees return, which apparently happens before the police come in as well..

James Tracy: "There is sometimes an undue amount of paranoia among some conspiracy researchers that can contribute to flawed observations and analysis."
Gary Cornwell (Dept. Chief Counsel HSCA): "A fact merely marks the point at which we have agreed to let investigation cease."
Alan Ford: "Just because you believe it, that doesn't make it so."
