It seems illogical for the 6th floor to have been chosen ( allegedly) by Lovelady , Norman Jarman , or Williams since as the photos show there’s not an east west open aisle along the row of south facing windows. Boxes are clustered up against the south wall.
In contrast, rhe 5th floor had an easy to traverse east-west aisle along the south facing row of windows per the photo showing Norman and Jarman taking their positions for the WC investigation photos.
As Arnold Rowland claims to have seen an elderly negro wearing a red and green plaid shirt , at the 6th floor SE corner window at 12:15 such persons as Bonnie Ray Williams or Eddie Piper must therefore be ruled out as probable candidates since they do NOT match the description.
Simultaneously, Rowland observes a man whom Rowland described as a white man or possibly LATIN man and the man is holding a rifle that appears (in Rowland opinion) to be a 30.06 HUNTING rifle with a LARGE scope.
One has only to look at the BackYard photo of Oswald ( or someone ) holding the 40 “ MC rifle and how the left of center mounted scope is almost NOT visible at all. And this LOS perspective from camera is a mere 10-15 ft away from Oswald and on the same level.
So it is difficult to see the scope on the MC rifle a mere 15ft away on the same ground level, how much MORE difficult would it be to see the scope from 140 ft away and looking at it from iUPWARD angle to a 72 ft height window?
Questions:
1. The 6th floor seems to have been being occupied by 2 persons whom do NOT appear to be TSBD employees. One was an “elderly” negro at the SE 6th floor window from 12:15-12:20 and he was LEANING OUT the window! WHY?
2. The other white/Latin man at the SW 6th floor corner window was AT THE SAME TIME , displaying a rifle with a scope so large that Rowland could see it from 140 ft distant. WHY?
3. After the fact, the WC attempts to explain these 2 men seen by Rowland as being Bonnie Ray Williams and Oswald. They place BRW, at a window that Is CLOSED and is several windows WEST of the SE 6th floor corner window. WHY?
Do they not see the obvious conflict with Arnold Rowland observations?
Even if their intent was to discredit Rowland, why does the WC choose to place a YOUNG “negro” with SOLID red shirt, (BRW) at a window CLOSER to Oswald and at a window BRW could NOT have been hanging out? This makes it highly improbable that BRW could not have seen Oswald , and just as unprovable that Oswald would not have seen BRW BEFORE Oswald even gets to to the SW window to theoretically display an MC rifle.
IMO, the answer must be that the WC decided (from influence by LBJ) to zealously follow the Hoover directive ( K-memo) that the public must be convinced there was no conspiracy. To that end, they created the simplistic “Lone “Nut” theory which they HOPED the public would accept. They apparently did not anticipate the public critical scrutiny that was to follow.
