AFFIDAVIT IN ANY FACT
THE STATE OF TEXAS
COUNTY OF DALLAS

BEFORE ME, Mary Rattan, a Notary Public in and for said County, State of Texas, on this day personally appeared M. L. Baker, Patrolman Dallas Police Department who, after being by me duly sworn, on oath deposes and says:

Friday November 22, 1963 I was riding motorcycle escort for the President of the United States. At approximately 12:30 pm I was on Houston Street and the President's car had made a left turn from Houston onto Elm Street. Just as I approached Elm Street and Houston I heard three shots. I realized those shots were rifle shots and I began to try to figure out where they came from. I decided the shots had come from the building on the northwest corner of Elm and Houston. This building is used by the Board of Education for book storage. I jumped off my motor and ran inside the building. As I entered the door I saw several people standing around. I asked these people where the stairs were. A man stepped forward and stated he was the building manager and that he would show me where the stairs were. I followed the man to the rear of the building and he said, "Let's take the elevator." The elevator was hung several floors up so we used the stairs instead. 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.

SUBSCRIBED AND SWORN BEFORE ME THIS 22 DAY OF November A.D. 1963

Notary Public, Dallas County, Texas

Does this FRAMED individual even appear, let alone weighs 165lbs ? ---->



So, when the actual 165lb man Baker truly encountered, quote, came back to me, meaning him, it was back towards the stairway he was walking away from...nowhere even close to a lunchroom some 20-30 feet away.

Anything more than or less than this actual same day encounter is simply indicative of a hastily contrived script after the fact about a phantom hoax lunchroom encounter concocted by a trio of liars (Mrs. Reid, Baker, and Roy Truly).

The stairway was clear across the floor 25-30 feet away from the lunchroom door, let alone the spacing distance inside the lunchroom interior, where Bakerill-prepared to lie initiallymade up three different versions of a fake encounter w/the wrongly accused (Mr. Oswald) over in the lunchroom.

What is it Baker? He was sitting?...He was standing?...He was levitating?…

Merely holding a Coke?...Sipping a Coke?....Or, there was nothing in his hands?….

Go ahead, make up our minds, Baker...

Who did you & Roy "I caught a whale of a fish...again, but he got away...again" Truly really encounter that afternoon?

Sidebar: a previous post claims Deputy Wiseman was not on the heels of Baker & Truly, and the whole matter has been covered (with what? pigeon droppings?).

However, in fairness to the poster claiming this issue is a non issue, Go ahead, make my day, and dare to explain away why Deputy John Wiseman (an honest to goodness lawman) wasn't on Baker & Truly's heels...dare you to try.

"and the whole matter has been covered (with what? pigeon droppings?)".

"Go ahead, make my day, and dare to explain away why...dare you to try".

What kind of comments are those? Some may consider it an attempt to 'bully'.

Best remembered, it is a long way from Edsel to Eastwood.
