No sign of misunderstanding whether she recognized Oswald or not.

Mr. BALL. Did you recognize anyone in the lineup?
Mrs. MARKHAM. No, sir.
Mr. BALL. You did not? Did you see anybody--I have asked you that question before did you recognize anybody from their face?
Mrs. MARKHAM. From their face, no

BALL started harassing and leading the witness when Markham didn't deliver what he wanted. 

Mr. BALL. Did you identify anybody in these four people?
Mrs. MARKHAM. I didn't know nobody.
Mr. BALL. I know you didn't know anybody, but did anybody in that lineup look like anybody you had seen before?
Mrs. MARKHAM. No. I had never seen none of them, none of these men.
Mr. BALL. No one of the four?
Mrs. MARKHAM. No one of them.
Mr. BALL. No one of all four?
Mrs. MARKHAM. No, sir.

In court BALL would have been immediately stopped as she had already answered his question; Markham fully understands "recognized":

Mr. BALL. All right. I have some pictures here that I would like to show you. I have Exhibits 521 and 522, which have been marked as Exhibits. Here is one picture, 521. Do you recognize that as the sign down?
Mrs. MARKHAM. This is the corner of Patton and 10th.
//
Mr. BALL. No, I have another picture I will show her. I have here Exhibit 522; do you recognize the white house in the picture?
Mrs. MARKHAM. Yes.
//
Mr. BALL. Northwest corner; that is the northwest corner. Here is a picture. Do you recognize that?
Mrs. MARKHAM. Yes, sir.
//
Mr. BALL. I have some other pictures here that might illustrate. Do you recognize this?
Mrs. MARKHAM. Yes.

Straight answers all the way. She didn't recognize Oswald in the lineup. BALL was desperate.

She had seen the streets prior, so naturally she recognized them

You've avoided the way in which she reacted upon realizing he was the killer

How does Markham's testimony in July of 1964, whether she was confused by the questioning or not, negate her 11/22/63 positive identification of Lee Oswald as the man she saw murder J.D. Tippit?

Regardless of how one chooses to view her testimony eight months later, NONE OF IT takes from the fact that she positively identified Oswald at the police lineup on the day of the murder.

It's called cross contamination.

Explain.

How do you positively identify someone you don't recognize?

On the evening of the murder, many months before her confused Warren Commission testimony, did Markham pick the "number two" man or not?  Of course she did.

Transfer of fiber while handling evidence.





So the fibers jumped into the sleeves of Oswald's jacket and the same fibers lodged themselves in Oswald's rifle?

So now it's "pick". I get it.

Correct.  Markham picked out the #2 man (Oswald) as the man she saw murder a police officer.

I know what cross contamination means.  Sheesh.

I'm asking you to explain how it's relevant to the fibers found in the sleeve of the jacket.

If you knew you wouldn't have to ask how it's relevant.

The question is: when were the fibers transferred?

Can you answer that question?

Finally.  An explanation (or, at least a question).

Of course I cannot say when the fibers were transferred.  No one can possibly answer such an inane question.  If the fibers found inside the sleeve of the jacket did come from Oswald's shirt, what difference would it make it they were transferred there on 11/22/63 or a month earlier?
