What's the latest word on this? I'm a little hazy on the specifics, but I seem
to recall Lovelady claiming he was on the steps, but he showed the WC the shirt
he was wearing that day, and it doesn't match the doorway man. But the doorway
man's shirt matched Oswald's.

Can anyhone shed any light?

Mark, I believe that it was Lovelady in the doorway. He showed the wrong shirt
to the FBI or WC.
On Page 159 of Robert Groden's book "The Search For Lee Harvey Oswald, Oswald
is shown in the police station passing Lovelady, who is there seated. Lovelady
has on the same shirt as the man in the doorway and, according to this
photograph, Lovelady's shirt and Oswald's shirt were different, not the same.

Gil, the photo you refer to looks fake to me.......

It looks like Lovelady has been added to the picture....

Question.... Doesn't it seem strange that Lovelady would be just sitting
there at a desk ????

There is no latest, except the latest post dredging up the subject. The
matter was resolved by the 1970s.
It was Lovelady in the doorway. An FBI report erroneously stated that
the red and white striped shirt he wore to the interview was the one he
wore on Nov. 22, but photos and films from the day clearly show this was
incorrect, yet people still cite the FBI report as though it were
Lovelady himself making the claim.

And here I thought you couldn't find a more bizarre argument for this
nonsensical theory.
The "photo" of Lovelady waiting to be questioned at the police station
as Oswald was brought in was a still from an NBC newsfilm broadcast that
day. Some published copies may have been touched up for publication, but
the newsfilm itself also exists, and has been widely used in
documentaries. It's authenticity has never been questioned, nor has
there ever been any reason to question it--too many people saw the live
broadcast and the taped re-broadcasts (taped, by the way, for archival
purposes).

Martin,
I'm still unconvinced that it is Lovelady instead of Oswald. The
reasons I say that follows. I believe witness statements and Oswald
himself places him in that vicinity at that time but inside the
building. The fact that Oswald himself is not reported to have stated
that he went outside means very little in this case IMO. If one stands
on the front top landing right outside the entrance of the TSBD looking
down Houston, Lovelady was seen on the leftside of the stairs in later
photographs. On the rightside is the person seen whose identity is
questioned. The open unbuttoned part of the shirt and the sagging
tee-shirt that is seen matches Oswald's appearance when he was arrested.
The photograph that is printed on page 373 of 'Pictures of the Pain' by
Richard B. Trask that is apparently taken from the Wiegman film shows
two people of interest. Maintaining the aforementioned position of
looking down Houston there is a person on the left that appears to be
Lovelady. The other questionable person in the photograph that is also
in the Altgens photograph would be where you would be standing as
previously mentioned looking down Houston. The blow-ups of Altgen's
photograph shows comparable facial features to both Oswald and Lovelady.
One should not use this comparison alone as the deciding factor. For
instance there are several frames in the Zapruder film that I would have
to declare that it does not look like Kennedy. Of course even though
the camera has mottled his face I know it is Kennedy. Again I say I'm
not so sure that it is Lovelady we see in Altgen's photograph.

Good for you=everybody got that? See the big 'bald spot' on the crown
of Lovelady's head? Its even more obvious than the fact that he was
wearing the striped shirt he wore that day when the FBI asked him to
attend later wearing the same shirt=which we know he did.

Anybody got any photos of Oswald displaying such a bald spot on his
head?

Oswald was just innocent, you know=that doesn't tell us very much
about who actually killed Kennedy=but it tells us a lot about who did
not.Its a good place to start with the process of elimination,as the
field of available suspects narrows like it does when we talk about
who could have planted the SB found at Parkland=process of elimination
of suspect being the norm in murder case investigation.

Martin Shackleford argues that Oswald was actually downstairs in the
Domino room rather than on the front steps in the Altgens photo=but
either way Oswald is still just innocent.

Why would Groden, a Conspiracy Theorist, publish a fake photograph, and one no
less, that proves that Oswald was not in the doorway ?

Look at the shirt and not the bald spot. Compare the shirt in that photo that I
mentioned with the Altgen's picture of the man in the doorway.
Then tell me there not the same man.
C'mon now , some things are obvious.

Gil I believe you are confusing the Altgen's "Man in the Doorway" photo with
the photo that appears on page 159 of TSFLHO. The photo on page 159 shows
Oswald in handcuffs being led past Lovelady who "APPEARS" to be seated at a
desk. In my opinion Lovelady's image appears to have been inserted into
the photo.

Hi Walt.
While I am 95% certain in my own mind that it was indeed Lovelady captured
standing on the TSBD stairway in the Altgens photo, you bring up a curious
point that I never thought of before. Yes, I have this book of Groden's,
and I recall seeing this photo. Anyway, I wonder what the odds were that
following his arrest, Oswald would be in such close proximity to Lovelady
that they would be able to be captured in the same picture? Hell, did the
DPD normally process potential witnesses at a desk that suspects were paraded
by? Seems just a tad curious to me.

Regards,
O.H. LEE (Gary)

Thanks Gary,...That's my thinking also ..... and please take a look at the
photo on page 159 and see if it looks like Lovelady has been inserted into
that photo.

P.S. I remember seeing a photo that was snapped infront of the TSBD
shortly after the assassination. That photo was taken by a photographer who
was behind Lovelady and it showed Lovelady looking toward the railroad
yards.....just as he is seen in the photo on page 159....... His image
could easily have been lifted from that photo and inserted in the other.
Just as Oswald's face was lifted from the photo taken on the streets of New
Orleans and added to the fake B.Y. photos CE 133B and 133C......

Robert Groden's new DVD "JFK: The Case for Conspiracy" is very useful
for study purposes. Last night, I applied it to a point in the "Man in
the Doorway" controversy.
Some have argued that Lovelady was sitting down in the doorway.
They were right.
Others, myself included, have argued that Lovelady was standing.
We were also right.
The films show that Lovelady was initially sitting on the steps in the
doorway. As the President passes, he stands, and remains standing as the
shots are fired.
The films:
Tina Towner film of limo passing the Depository and proceeding down Elm.
(Lovelady is seated on the steps)
F. Mark Bell film of limousine passing the Depository.
(Lovelady is rising)
(this is the chronological order--the video reverses them for purposes
of continuity).
John Martin film of limo passing the Depository.
(Lovelady is standing)a
Mal Couch and Dave Weigman films, taken during the shots.
(Lovelady is standing)
These would be during the period when Altgens took his photo.

Okay, now you're telling me something I didn't know...the image of Oswald's
head used in the backyard photos comes from a known photo? Has it been
published? I'd love to see it.

Understood Martin. But this still seems like terribly shoddy police procedure
at best. Should potential witnesses have been sequestered or processed at
a desk in a room that suspects in that very crime were paraded past as they
were brought in? Shouldn't these material witnesses have been processed in
a room far removed from where suspects were taken? What if, instead of Lovelady,
this had been a Tippit killing witness that Oswald was paraded by? Don't
you think this would have hopelessly tarnished any line-up by having such
a witness see this person hauled in in handcuffs and then seeing them appear
in the line-up? It would be hard not to know who the arrested suspect was
at the line-up if he was paraded right by you in handcuffs a couple of hours
earlier, no? It just seems as though any witnesses should have been processed
quite apart from where Oswald was paraded, that's all. Otherwise, any line-ups
would be hopelessly tainted.

Hello Mark.....Someone was filming Oswald while he was handing out leaflets
on the streets of N.O.
There are many photos that have been produced from that movie. Take a look
at the photo at the top of page 75 of Groden's "TSFLHO"..... That face is
very simular to the one that was added to the man in the fake BY photo CE
133B and 133C..... ( Notice that I did NOT include CE 133A .....CE 133A is
the authentic photo that Marina snapped )

Either way=the AP network distributed the Altgens photo(possibly of
Oswald as I argue) and the WFAA-TV footage distributed the Lovelelady
bald spot "widely" as you say.Either way Oswald was still innocent
whether he was in the Domino Room as you say,OR photographed BEHIND
all the other witnesses who saw Lovelady's bald spot in front of them
as they testified.It comes to the same thing either way=Oswald was
just inocent.Oswald's mere innocence takes him out of the story=except
for the simple role we know he played by the incriminating evidence
found."I am just a patsy" holds true even if Oswald was in the Domino
room instead of the doorway.

Of course not Martin. Which is why I wrote "what if, instead of Lovelady,

Or do you think that care was taken to parade Oswald only past known associates

Actually, Walt, I now believe Oswald was telling the truth when he said he was
eating lunch with Norman & Jarman circa 12:30. Truly (Biffle stories in '63 &
'64) & Baker (1st Day Evidence recounting) ran into O on the 1st floor just
after the shooting; meanwhile, Euins (as per Underwood & Biffle) saw only one
black man upstairs at the window, Brennan (as per McCloy's questioning of
Williams) saw only Williams, & Patrolman Hill's "2nd window from the end"
witness saw only one man on the 5th floor, too. All 3 witnesses thot Williams
was the shooter. He was not, but their singling out of him proves that Norman &

Bingo...either way.Two failed theories either way=Oswald was not 'with
others' on the 6th floor any more than Oswald was there alone=and for
all the same reasons.Of course its clear that someone else still shot
and killed Kenedy=and the question then becomes what options are left
by the evidence once you eliminate Oswald as a suspect either way? The
process of elimination narrows suspect rather than enlarging into
absurd "massive conspiracy"=as you appear to appreciate.As you
eliminate Oswald either way applying process=what does the narrowness
of suspect leave you with?As you know I have asked this before about
who could have cleared security at Parkland in order to plant the SB
found as it was found.Eliminating implausible suspects according to
evidence is the correct way to proceed...waddya' get from what you
say?
