Did Roy Truly and/or Marion Baker Lie?

As far as 'my experience' goes...the TSBD was built as a farm machinery warehouse in around 1910. So, in modern buildings, we know that usually the first access to upper floors are elevators. Presently, the old TSBD are Dallas County offices [except for the museum areas]

What would the logical thing for a police officer ( or anybody) to do, if they entered the building and wanted to get to the upper floors ??
Would they have looked for the arrows that pointed to the stairs to the upper floors? ....Or would they have stood there scratching heir head in trying to decide how to get upstairs?

According to the story...a man told the cop that he was the bldg manager--and to follow him.

Thank you, Jerry, and yes that is the official tale.... But does it make sense ?? When Baker ran into the TSBD he would have been looking for a way to get upstairs ASAP. And the stairs to the second floor were clearly marked with an arrow ( Baker would have had no way of knowing that the stairs only went to the second floor and then the passageway through the second floor was blocked by a swinging gate that had a latch) It is logical that at this point Baker might have asked anybody at hand ( like Roy Truly) how to get to the roof......Or perhaps Baker had already gone to the second floor and found that he could not get through and returned to the first floor.....I don't know ...but the official tale just smells a bit fishy....

Who can explain the reason the "official looking" circular "stamp" to fill the quarter round space at the right hand corner of the ID photo was made by using a quarter dollar US coin and a date stamp.... If you doubt that the "stamp was made by using a quarter and an ink pad...Just get a good copy of the document and you can read the word QUARTER ( spelled backwards ) and you can scale the photo to find that the round "stamp" is exactly the size of a quarter.

And as for Baker being confused about the floor he was on is perfectly understandable because he first walks up steps to get into the Depository and then enters a closed stairwell which has a set of stairs leading to a platform and then he leaves the platform and walks up another set of stairs to the next floor.

In other words Baker was just a dumbass cop and couldn't count floor entries.
