Friends, the single biggest recent breakthrough in the case has been this from Agent Hosty:

It added a massive boost to the PrayerMan claim....
However, skeptics have pointed to the following exchange as counter-evidence:
"REPORTER: Were you in the building at the time?" (i.e. when the President was shot?)
"OSWALD: Naturally if I work in that building, yes sir."What if the skeptics are right and Mr Oswald really did mean
right inside the building,
------------i.e. not even in the front entranceway?
But! What if he was
telling the truth in both of the above claims?
-----------He went outside to watch JFK pass

-----------He was inside when JFK was shot
1. HUGHES FILM:![](https://i.imgur.com/uWtB8rk.gif)
--------Mr Oswald is the red-shirted (long-sleeved) man we see standing just above Mr Carl Edward Jones. He has just slipped out to catch a glimpse of JFK (‘
Then went outside to watch P. parade’)
--------Although we can't see them here in the Hughes film, Mr Billy Lovelady (in red plaid shirt, but
sleeves rolled up) and Mr Bill Shelley (white
short-sleeved shirt) are at this moment right behind Mr Oswald, by the west wall, where Mr Buell Frazier's WC testimony puts them both
...and where Mr Lovelady's March 1964 FBI statement puts him
very precisely:
2. WIEGMAN FILM & ALTGENS PHOTO:--------Mr Oswald,
having watched JFK pass,
has gone back inside ----- no one but Messrs Shelley and Lovelady (and Frazier?) have noticed him, everyone's attention has been on JFK's car
--------Mr. Lovelady has moved a little east across the top step to keep the President's car in view: his right side is not in shadow in Wiegman but it will be blacked out to hide the fact that
his sleeves are rolled up...but the early wirephoto version of Altgens shows the exposed white skin of his lower left forearm:

Mr Shelley in short-sleeves-------------
3. DARNELL FILM:------------Mr Shelley has left the steps and already run into Ms Gloria Calvery out at the corner of the ‘park’ (as per his 11/22 affidavit)
------------Ms Calvery is now at the steps telling people about what she's just seen down the street
------------Mr Lovelady (red plaid shirt, sleeves rolled up) has moved over to the ‘Prayer Man’ position

Oswald, back inside on the first floor, has meanwhile heard the shots and/or the ‘excitement’ and is making his way back to the front door: he is about to be stopped by Officer Baker in the front lobby (Mr Harry D. Holmes:
‘… in the vestibule… First floor. The front entrance to the first floor’) and asked if he works there (so he can show Officer Baker the way to the stairs)
The Long And The Short Of It:
Could Mr Lovelady possibly be Prayer Man in Darnell? If so, then he would not be the red-shirted man seen in Hughes as JFK is passing. That would be Mr Oswald. ![Thumb1 Thumb1:](https://www.jfkassassinationforum.com/Smileys/DarkB/icon_thumleft.gif)
