Then went outside to watch P. parade ( Parts 1 & 2 )

[Alan Ford]

Holmes: "when he went down stairs, a policeman questioned him as to his identification and his boss stated that "he is one of our employees" whereupon the policeman had him step aside momentarily. Following this, he simply walked out the front door of the building."

None of the three who were there  Truly, Baker, or  Lee Oswald ever said that Baker asked for identification.....

'Do you work here?' would be questioning him as to his identification.

Baker has testified that he called out to Lee...."Come Here"....  And about that time Roy Truly stated, "He's one of my employees". So Holmes isn't reporting the encounter correctly.  Also....the policeman had him step aside momentarily.

Nobody ever testified that Baker asked Lee to "step aside".....

Mr Holmes gets some things muddled

Well, for one thing Shelley said he didn't go outside until 12:15.  Also, why would Shelley "flirt" with Sarah Stanton?

Are you serious??....     Do you think that Lovelady was lying when he casually recalled that when he returned to the first floor after buying his coke, he saw Bill Shelley and Sarah Stanton talking at the front door of the TSBD.   I can't imagine why Lovelady would want to lie about something so mundane. And....   What man doesn't enjoy flirting with a pretty, young lady?

Why would anybody look to Harry Holmes' testimony for reliable information about anything?

"But he went downstairs, and as he went out the front, it seems as though he did have a coke with him, or he stopped at the coke machine, or somebody else was trying to get a coke, but there was a coke involved.  He mentioned something about a coke."

Why would anybody look to Harry Holmes' testimony for reliable information about anything?

Oh, Oh, John....  This is not Good....    You took the words right out of my mouth....   You'll probably want to retract that statement, now that you know that we are in total accord and harmony.

'Do you work here?' would be questioning him as to his identification.

Really??  So the next time I get stopped by a traffic cop, He'll probably just ask if I live or work in the neighborhood? He won't ask for identification

Mr Holmes gets some things muddled

Mr Holmes gets some things muddled         You can say that again!!

You think Stanton was a "pretty young lady" do you?  To each his own, I guess...

John ....Don't be so hard on yourself....   Nobody has said that you are like a broken clock.
