Sean Murphy's research deserves more

" Claims 2nd floor Coke when officer came in "


Sounds like it to me. The only wiggle room would be Oswald rushing back from the front entrance portal ahead of Baker and Truly. But I would have to say it sounds to me like Oswald is placing himself in the lunch-room when Baker confronts him.

According to Agent Bookout, the lunchroom encounter happens BEFORE Oswald goes down to the first floor to have lunch.
According to Bookout he then goes out front and is with Shelley... "Out front with Shelley"

According to Baker - the man he sees is between the 3rd and 4th floor coming down the stairs... no room, no door with a window, no draw pistol... this statement is recorded on a signed affidavit on Nov 22nd.

Notes of the interrogation are offered days to weeks to months even YEARS after the fact.

1st day affidavit versus posthumous incriminatory notes...

If Oswald was inthe lunchroom, who is it that Baker and Truly run into coming down the stairs?

As we reached the third or fourth floor I saw a man walking away from the stairway. I called to the man and he turned around and came back toward me. The manager said, "I know that man, he works here." I then turned the man loose and went up to the top floor. The man I saw was a white man approximately 30 years old, 5'9", 165 pounds, dark hair and wearing a light brown jacket.

Let's see, were'nt there some other first day affidavits about a Mauser, signed the next day AFTER the rifle was clearly identified?

One has to wonder why so much of what was FIRST SAID had to be replaced by information that was specifically incriminatory of Oswald, posthumously.

Mr. Rankin:
Then theres a great range of material in regards to the wound and theautopsy and this point of exit or entrance of the bullet in the front of theneck, and that all has to be developed much more than we have at the presenttime.

We have an explanation there in the autopsy that probably a fragmentcame out the front of the neck, but with the elevation the shot must have comefrom, and the angle, it seems quite apparent, since we have the picture ofwhere the bullet entered in the back, that the bullet entered below theshoulder blade to the right of the backbone, which is below the place where thepicture shows the bullet came out in the neckband of the shirt in front, andthe bullet, according to the autopsy didn't strike any bone at all, thatparticular bullet, and go through.

So that how it could turn, and --

Rep. Boggs. I thought I read that bullet just went in a finger's length.

Mr. Rankin. That is what they first said
