Anatomy of the Second Floor Lunchroom Encounter

[LR Trotter]

Thank you for your kind comments,, Alan. Keep the good work. And Happy thanksgiving to you, and enjoy your break. I look forward to your future comments.

Incidentally everybody says that Oswald was wrong when he said two black guys came into the domino room, whilst he was eating his lunch. Seems at least one of them did. Jarman to the W.C.

Mr.BALL - Did you bring your lunch that day?
Mr.JARMAN - No, sir; I didn't.
Mr.BALL - What did you do about lunch that day?
Mr.JARMAN - I got a sandwich off the carrying truck.
Mr.BALL - About what time of day?
Mr.JARMAN - It was about 10 or a little after 10, maybe.
Mr.BALL Where did you put it, keep it until lunch?
Mr.JARMAN - In the domino room.
Mr.BALL - Where in the domino room?
Mr.JARMAN - Well, they have two little windows, they have two sets ofwindows in there and I put it in the window.
Mr.BALL - Did you talk to Oswald that morning?
Mr.JARMAN - I did.
Mr.BALL - When?
Mr.JARMAN - I had him to correct an order. I don't know exactly whattime it was.
Mr.BALL - Oh, approximately. Nine, ten?
Mr.JARMAN - It was around, it was between eight and nine, I wouldsay.
Mr.BALL - Between 8 and 9?
Mr.JARMAN - Between 5 minutes after 8 and 9.
Mr.BALL - You had him correct an order?
Mr.JARMAN - Yes, sir.
Mr.BALL - Did you talk to him again that morning?
Mr.JARMAN - Yes, sir. I talked to him again later on that morning.
Mr.BALL - About what time?
Mr.JARMAN - It was between 9:30 and 10 o'clock, I believe.
Mr.BALL - Where were you when you talked to him?
Mr.JARMAN - In between two rows of bins.
Mr.BALL - On what floor?
Mr.JARMAN - On the first floor.
Mr.BALL - And what was said by him and by you?
Mr.JARMAN - Well, he was standing up in the window and I went to thewindow also, and he asked me what were the people gathering around onthe corner for, and I told him that the President was supposed topass that morning, and he asked me did I know which way he wascoming, and I told him, yes; he probably come down Main and turn onHouston and then back again on Elm. Then he said, "Oh, I see,"and that was all.
Mr.BALL - Did you talk to him again?
Mr.JARMAN - No, sir.
Mr.BALL - What time did you quit for lunch?
Mr. JARMAN - Wentin the rest room and washed up.
Mr. BALL. Then what did you
Mr.JARMAN - Went and got my sandwich [which, according to him, was in the domino room]and went up in the lounge and got me a soda pop.

So now,what time did JamesJarmanJr quit for lunch? What time was it when Mr Jarman "Went and got my sandwich and went up in the lounge and got me a soda pop"? Is the lounge aka the 2nd floor lunchroom? Where did he eat his lunch? Did he encounter LeeHarveyOswald while lunching?
After finishing his lunch,and discarding his trash,as well as placing the returnable "soda pop" bottle into the case,what time did Mr Jarman arrive outside the TSBD building? How long did he stay? Where was he during the assassination of President JohnFitzgeraldKennedy Sr and wounding of Governor JohnBowdenConnally Jr? When,and where,did Mr Jarman last see LHO in or at the TSBD Building?
