Wrong! You're making the same mistake the WC Attorney made. Lovelady made it clear to the WC attorney that he was NOT talking about entering the Houston St dock. He made it clear that there were 2 docks and that he and Shelley entered the dock at the end of the Elm St Ext. Which is very close to the 1st set of railroad tracks that he and Shelley stopped at. This dock makes for a very quick entrance into the TSBD. Also, we can see Officer Baker running toward the TSBD as those 2 guys move down the Elm Ext on the Couch Film. This further discredits the Lovelady/Shelley 3+ minutes timeline. That, or the current timeline of the Couch Film is incorrect, and the Darnell Film timeline would also be incorrect.
Having now re-reviewed the testimony, I am pretty impressed with my months-old recollection. I understood where Shelley and Lovelady reentered the TSBD – on the west side – but was conflating Adams’ testimony that she encountered them on her way out to the Houston Street dock. Set forth below are the relevant portions of their testimonies, together with a diagram of the first floor from John Armstrong’s site.
This is a really, really excellent piece called “Inside the Book Depository.” Chapter IX, “The Stairway,” begins at 46:00 and goes completely through the Shelley-Lovelady-Adams-Styles-Garner mystery in very clear detail:

I had forgotten that Adams herself suggested that her encounter with Shelley and Lovelady had been falsely inserted into her WC testimony. How does
that factor into the mysterious “ramifications,” those of us trapped in the prison of rational thought are inclined to wonder?
Anyway, thus endeth my interest in this topic – whatever this topic actually is. Even though I still run half-marathons, my aged heart simply cannot take this level of excitement.

Mr. SHELLEY. We walked on down to the first railroad track there on the
dead-end street and stood there and watched them searching cars down there
in the parking lots for a little while and then we came in through our parking
lot at the west end.
Mr. BALL. At the west end?
Mr. SHELLEY. Yes; and then in the side door into the shipping room.
Mr. BILL. When you came into the shipping room did you see anybody?
Mr. SHELLEY. I saw Eddie Piper.
Mr. BALL. Then what did you do?
Mr. LOVELADY. Came back right through that part where Mr. Campbell, Mr.
Truly, and Mr. Shel1ey park their cars and I came back inside the building.
Mr. BALL. And enter from the rear?
Mr. LOVELADY. Yes, sir; sure did.
…
Mr. BALL. Did you go in through the docks, the wide open door or did you
go in the ordinary small door?
Mr. LOVELADY. You know where we park our trucks-that door; we have
a little door.
Mr. BALL. That is where you went in, that little door?
Mr. LOVELADY. That’s right.
Mr. BALL. That would be the north end of the building?
Mr. LOVELADY. That would be the west end, wouldn’t it?
Mr. BALL. Is it the one right off Houston Street?
Mr. LOVELADY. No ; you are thinking about another dock.
Mr. BALL. I am?
Mr. LOVELADY. Yes; we have two.
Mr. BALL. Do you have a dock on the west side and one on the north side
of the building?
Mr. LOVELADY. East, and well, it would be east and west but you enter it
from the south side.
Mr. BALL. Now, the south side---
Mr. LOVELADY. Elm Street is that little dead-end street.
Mr. BALL. That’s south.
Mr. LOVELADY. I drive my truck here (indicating) but we came in from this
direction; that would have to be west.
Mr. BALL. You came into the building from the west side?
Mr. LOVELADY. Right.
Mr. BALL. Where did you go into the building?
Mr. LOVELADY. Through that, those raised-up doors.
Mr. BALL. Through the raised-up doors?
Mr. LOVELADY. Through that double door that we in the morning when we
get there we raised. There’s a fire door and they have two wooden doors
between it.
Mr. BALL. You came in through the first floor?
Mr. LOVELADY. Right.
Miss ADAMS: And after the third shot, following that, the third shot, I went to the back
of the building down the back stairs, and encountered Bill Shelley and Bill
Lovelady on the first floor on the way out to the Houston Street dock.
Mr. BELIN. When you say on the way out to the Houston Street dock, you
mean now you were on the way out?
Miss ADAMS. While I was on the way out.
…
Mr. BELIN. Where did you see them on the first floor?
Miss ADAMS. Well, this is the stairs, and this is the Houston Street dock
that I went out. They were approximately in this position here, so I don’t know
how you would describe that.
Mr. BEI.IN. You are looking now at a first floor plan or diagram of the Texas
School Book Depository, and you have pointed to a position where you encountered Bill Lovelady and Mr. Bill Shelley?
Miss ADAMS. That’s correct.
Mr. BELIN. It would be slightly east of the front of the east elevator, and
probably as far south as the length of the elevator, is that correct?
Miss ADAMS. Yes, sir.
