Lovelady in front of TSBD

[David Josephs]

In this little Rashoman of events, I am most inclined to believe Vicky Adams' account and start from there. She is the only one of the usual suspects that had no agenda. Baker's story went through so many emendations that it could be almost anything. Did he take the rear stairs at all? Did he instead take the front elevator. How much time elapsed talking to Truly and maybe Prayerman at the door? It seems to me quite possible that Adams could be down the stairs and out the back door before Truly and Baker.

Indeed Gordon.... No reason not to accept that she was down and out and may have even been standing near the rear exit as they went up the stairs.

From my posted images, she is obviously not there in Dillard... question remains - wasn't Dillard less than 30 seconds after the shots stopped?

Mr. DILLARD - Well, after the third shot I know my comment was, "They killed
him." I don't know why I said that but Jackson - there was some running comment
about what can we do or where is it coming from and we were all looking. We had
an absolutely perfect view of the School Depository from our position in an open
car, and Bob Jackson said, "There's a rifle barrel up there." I said, "Where?" I
had my camera ready. He said, "It's in that open window." Of course, there were
several open windows and I scanned the building.

Mr. BALL - Which building?

Mr. DILLARD - The School Book Depository. And at the same time I brought my
camera up and I was looking for the window. Now this was after the third shot
and Jackson said, "there's the rifle barrel up there." And then he said it was
the second from the top in the right hand side, and I swung t it and there was
two figures below, and I just shot with one camera, 100-mm. Lens on a 35-mm.
Camera which is approximately a two times daily photo twice normal lens and a
wide angle on a 35-mm. Which took in a considerable portion of the building and
I shot those pictures in rapid sequence with the two cameras.
