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.
David,
First off your discovery on the tramps is brilliant. It is the best thing I have seen in a long time. Holy shit I can't believe there's evidence of the bums being incarcerated for days and hanging out with Oswald in jail. This is serious evidence of chicanery with the railroad tramps. I would check for the dupes being paraded through the Plaza in front of the cameras while the other arrestees took a more secluded route. Wow.
As for Baker I would suggest he omitted the lunch-room encounter because he had witnessed a second Oswald by the 4th floor landing. He didn't know which spook to mention. I think DPD knew Oswald was a spook and were playing it cool until instructed what to do. DPD knew Ruby wasn't a reporter but they let him pretend to be one. Ruby knew Oswald was a spook as did the Carousel regulars. If the DPD hung out for pay-offs at the Carousel it makes sense they knew "Ozzie" was a spook.
The Coke and lunch-room were exculpatory since they show signs Oswald was settled in there. Baker could have been avoiding giving information that conflicted with Oswald being on the 6th floor. It doesn't work in the conspiracy's favor to place Oswald in the lunch-room where Victoria Adams could later exonerate him. They could have given in to the lunch-room witnessing once they realized too many people witnessed it like Fritz, Truly, and Baker (and maybe Carolyn Arnold).
