Another Anomaly or simply a labelling error?

[David Josephs]

Wasn't there a giant stack of books right there (CE 719) where the FBI guy is leaning over a short stack? Oswald at 5'9" could not have stuck the gun there, by leaning over, if the stack of books were as pictured before the Valentine photo op.

It does seem like they opened it up a little. It also seems like Oswald would have gone in front of the window with a rifle if he made that move.

Oswald was not on the 6th floor shooting anything...

Talking about what he might have done while up there is non-sequitor.

Question remains... who put the rifle by the back stairs and when.

Mooney was up on the 6th floor pretty quickly... yet Fritz was not back to the TSBD until 1pm.

Mr. MOONEY - It was a push button affair the best I can remember. got hold of the controls and it worked. We started up and got to the second. I was going to let them off and go on up. And when we got there, the power undoubtedly cut off, because we had no more power on the elevator. So I looked around their office there, just a short second or two, and then I went up the staircase myself. And I met some other officers coming down, plainclothes, and I believe they were deputy sheriffs. They were coming down the staircase. But I kept going up. And how come I get off the sixth floor, I don't know yet. But, anyway, I stopped on six, and didn't even know what floor I was on.


....And so we looked around up there for a short time. And then I says I am going back down on six.
At that time, some news reporter, or press, I don't know who he was--he was calming up with a camera. Of course he wasn't taking any pictures. He was just looking, too, I assume. So I went back down ahead of Officers Vickery and Webster. They come in behind me down to the sixth floor.
I went straight across to the southeast corner of the building, and I saw all these high boxes. Of course they were stacked all the way around over there. And I squeezed between two. And the minute I squeezed between these two stacks of boxes, I had to turn myself sideways to get in there that is when I saw the expended shells and the boxes that were stacked up looked to be a rest for the weapon. And, also, there was a slight crease in the top box. Whether the recoil made the crease or it was placed there before the shots were fired, I don't know. But, anyway, there was a very slight crease in the box, where the rifle could have lain--at the same angle that the shots were fired from.
So, at that time, I didn't lay my hands on anything, because I wanted to save every evidence we could for fingerprints. So I leaned out the window, the same window from which the shots were fired, looked down, and I saw Sheriff Bill Decker and Captain Will Fritz standing right on the ground.
Well, so I hollered, or signaled I hollered, I more or less hollered. I whistled a time or two before I got anybody to see me. And yet they was all looking that way, too except the sheriff, they wasn't looking up.

Is there any correlation between Mooney's power outage (he was already using the elevator) and Baker's power outage (less than 60 seconds after the assassination) is interesting. Was the building just traditionally a bad spot for electricity? or was it just something that only happened that day?
