The Book Depository as a Potemkin Village

[Alan Ford]

Other problems:

Both Truly and Baker report seeing thr elevators on the same floor when they look up

Dougherty fails to mention any kind of 'hubbub' on the first floor, although he does state that the front steps were crowded, presumably with employees waiting to see the motorcade

Dougherty makes no mention of the 'madhouse' of police, reporters and stunned employees when he returns to the first floor

But the main problem is the notion Dougherty calmly goes back up to the sixth floor to resume his work after talking to Piper, ignoring the chaos ensuing on the first floor.

Other problem:

Other problem:



 

These notes are NOT the notes that Hosty scribbled DURING the first interrogation of Lee Oswald. And Hosty was present only during the initial interrogation of Lee.    So Hosty got his information about the coke from another source, Which was probably Bardwell Odum,    Furthermore, the coke issue never surfaced until  AFTER Fritz talked to officer Baker ( after 5:00pm ) And according to Hosty's notes Lee went downstairs and ate his lunch AFTER buying the coke and BEFORE going outside (to watch the P. parade)

There was no parade to watch five minutes AFTER Baker saw Lee in the lunchroom with the coke in his hand.

Jack Dougherty was deeply involved.....  I believe that he was an accomplice ( a lookout) for the 165 pound, dark haired man who was wearing a khaki colored jacket.  This 165 pound man was the man that Howard Brennan, and Arnold Rowland saw behind the sixth floor window.

Why not have Dougherty as the 'man with the rifle' Rowland saw?

No, the main problem with Dougherty was that he was retarded. You can look it up.

How retarded do you have to be before you can't use a rifle?

That's possible.....But even if Dougherty was the man with the "high powered hunting rifle " ( "a thirty odd six" with a large scope as Rowland described it)  I doubt that he fired it.    I doubt that there were any shots fired from the TSBD..

Whoever the puppeteer was, who was pulling the strings....  He may have set the simple minded Dougherty up as an accomplice or a back up patsy, in the event that Lee Oswald foiled their plan to frame  him.
