I just thought of something else. Look at this exchange between Ball and
Arce:
Mr. BALL. I am not going to mark this purposely because other witnesses
have to see it.
Mr. ARCE. Yes.
The date was April 7, 1964, and the time was 2:15. An hour later, Ball was
going to show that picture to Lovelady and have him mark it. But, the
picture that Ball showed to Lovelady was ALREADY marked with Frazier's
arrow. That was from a month earlier: March 11, 1964. And that means that
the picture Ball showed to Arce was definitely ALREADY marked with
Frazier's arrow.
So, there was Joseph Ball- holding a photograph in his hands that had a
big mark on it consisting of an arrow drawn by Buell Frazier, and while
holding that marked photo, Ball had the audacity to say:"I'm not going to
mark this purposely because other witnesses have to see it."
IT WAS ALREADY MARKED! Ball said that as if it were unmarked. Think about
the loonyness of holding a marked photo and saying that you don't want to
put any marks on it.
So, the situation was that the same photo was shown to all three. The
first one, Frazier, was made to mark. Then with Arce, there was no
marking, just pointing and responding. And then an hour later with
Lovelady, it went back to marking WITHOUT REFERRING TO DOORMAN AT ALL.
Mr. BALL - I have got a picture here, Commission Exhibit 369. Are you on
that picture?
Mr. LOVELADY - Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL - Take a pen or pencil and mark an arrow where you are.
Now compare that to this:
Mr. BALL. Just 1 minute, I want to show you a picture. I show you
Commission Exhibit No. 369. I show you this picture. See this man in
this picture? Recognize him?
Ball must have been pointing to Doorman when he said that. And you can't
get any more direct than that. You point to the guy and ask, who is he?
Ball did that with Frazier, and he could have done it with Lovelady an
hour later, but he didn't. You'd think that he would have, but he didn't.
But right now, I just want you to dwell on Ball holding a marked photo-
one with a big glaring black arrow- and saying I don't want it marked
because other witnesses have to see it.
And let's go further because it was just as weird with Lovelady. How weird
was it for Ball to ask Lovelady to draw an arrow on a photo which already
had an arrow? If you were in charge, wouldn't you have used a fresh photo?
DIdn't they have copy machines in those days? Wasn't there an unlimited
supply of Altgens photos? Was Ball trying to save the taxpayers a few
pennies? Wasn't it possible that the pre-existing arrow would bias
Lovelady, and wouldn't Ball, being a lawyer, realize that?
Here's an idea: maybe Ball was trying to bias Lovelady. Maybe Ball was
trying to give Lovelady a not-so-subtle hint as to where his arrow should
go. But, Lovelady didn't take it. Lovelady drew his arrow to Black Hole
ManSo, Danny Arce was sandwiched in-between two guys who were asked to
draw arrows on the same photograph. But, there was no arrow-drawing for
Danny. For Danny, it was a simple matter: a point to Doorman, and: "Who is
he?"
Danny Arce said Doorman was Lovelady even though Doorman was wearing
Oswald's distinctive clothing; had Oswald's slender build; and was doing
Oswald's distinctive stance of clasping his hands in front, left over
right. Arce admitted to seeing Oswald when he arrived at 8:00 AM. He
admitted seeing him again during the morning. He admitted to seeing him
again when they broke for lunch. And he admitted to seeing him again at
the Dallas PD where we all saw him- wearing his distinctive clothing, the
same clothes we see on Doorman. And yet, three times Danny Arce said,
"That's Billy Lovelady." "That's Billy Lovelady." "That's Billy Lovelady."
He didn't elaborate. He didn't break it down. He didn't say how he knew or
what he recognized. Rather, he just sparsely, flatly, and abruptly said
without the slightest explanation, "That's Billy Lovelady." That's bull
shit is what it is.
