Hi Ray, officer Marion Baker from the DPD was first on the scene.

James Powell, military intelligence, was trapped inside the TSBD when it was sealed after the assassination.

He produced a photo, taken just after the shots were fired, that infers he wasn't inside the building during the shots.

He also said he wasn't on duty that day.

Colonel Jones contradicted the "not on duty" assertion in his 1978 HSCA testimony.

He named Powell as one of 8 to 10 military intelligence personnel assigned to assist in JFK's secutrity on 11/22/63.

Who were the two DPD Deputies coming down the stairs., that Hooper met on his way up the stairs? According to Baker he joined by an F.B.I. man, but there is no mention of two Deputies. Who were they and did they ever file reports ?

From the HSCA testimony of Robert Jones, who was James Powell's boss on 11-22-63:

Mr. Genzman. I have several other names I would like to ask you about. Was James W. Powell one of these liaison personnel?
Mr. Jones: Yes, he was a Captain and also wore civilian clothes and was assigned to Region 2 of the 112 MI Group.
Mr. Genzman: Was he, in fact, on duty the day of the assassination?
Mr. Jones: Yes he was.

From James Powell's testimony to the AARB:

Wray: Let me turn now to the events around the 22nd of November, 1963. Do you recall when or how you learned that the President was going to visit Dallas? Did you learn the day before, two days before, a week before, a month before? Do you have any impression of how long you learned about this?
Powell: To be very honest with you, no. I'm sure like everyone else I read it in the paper and heard about it. It was interesting enough that I asked for time off, a leave of absence from my regular duties so I could see the motorcade, so I could go out to the airport and see the president. And I was hoping to get a few pictures. But I don't remember specifically how long before. I'd say in the neighborhood of a week, probably.
