No wonder Mr. Lovelady had to tell so many lies afterwards! He had been on the same team as Mr. Oswald-------which (as far as they had been given to understand) was Team Kennedy.
Pres. Kennedy was told to watch out for flags being waved in the Depository doorway by two guys in red shirts.
Thus!
1. Mr. Oswald did indeed bring curtain rods to work that morning: one for himself, another for Mr. Lovelady, to attach their flags to
2. Mr. Oswald, in custody, denied the curtain rods because they were a telltale element in what had really happened
3. At some point after the assassination, the two curtain rods were found in the Depository and tested for Mr. Oswald's fingerprints. Result: negative. It may be, however, that the one legible print was actually that of Mr. Lovelady. A dangerous set of prints to have on record....
4. So a DIFFERENT 'legible print' had to be 'found' and recorded on two curtain rods----------hence (at least in part) the ridiculous shenanigans in the Paine garage, where two curtain rods were 'discovered' and 'received' on-the-record by the WC; hence also the shenanigans with the two different versions of the crime lab form. They made sure that a non-dangerous legible print would be the one that went into the official record
