He refers us to Breach of Trust, the hardback copy, pages 114 -116. He wants us to focus on Caroline Arnold's testimony and Oswald's revelations regarding his directing two men (Pierce Allman and Terrance Ford, whom he thought flashed SS badges at him) to the phones on the first floor after the shooting. Oswald told SS Agent Kelly that Allman was a SS agent. Following up on that, Kelly confronted Allman and Ford who denied using SS identity cards. They both worked for WFAA Television. It wasn't until February 1964 that this happened. But, did they flash WFAA cards at Oswald, and if so, why? Is there any reason to think that Oswald lied about what they did? Why did Oswald think they were Secret Service agents? Why would you flash anything just to ask where the pay phone was? Did they flash anything at Oswald or not?
Then, Dr. McKnight draws attention to SS Agent Kelley's interviews of Oswald. Dr. McKnight: "I suspect these sessions were recorded on tape." He points out that the Secret Service definitely had tape recorders. They recorded their interviews with Marina Oswald. Dr. McKnight is convinced that Oswald "opened up" more with Kelly than he did with the FBI. If those sessions were recorded, what happened to them?
Dr. McKnight feels that what constitutes strong evidence was Hoover's diligent and determined avoidance of bringing in photographer James Altgens. Why did they put it off for so long? The FBI did not get around to questioning Altgens until July 22, 1964 when, according to Dr. McKnight, he "was questioned by a militantly disinterested Wesley Liebeler. See WC Vol 7, pages 515-527."
Dr. McKnight says that there is no evidence that Dallas Police, the FBI, or the Secret Service ever asked Oswald any questions pertaining to the Altgens photo. In contrast, the FBI visited Lovelady on November 23rd and brought with them an Altgens blow-up that was 30 inches by 40 inches. Source: 22H794.
Cinque: I must say that this is a brilliant point. The controversy about the Altgens photo began immediately. If they were showing Lovelady a picture of the Altgens doorway and asking him if he was Doorman, why didn't they do the same with Oswald?
Those of you who think that all was innocent with the Altgens photo need to explain why they weren't straight-forward with Oswald and show him the image of Doorway Man and ask him if that was him just like they did with Lovelady. Why the hell not?
Dr. McKnight: Look at Wesley Frazier's contradictory testimony. See 2H210-245. On p. 234 of this volume Frazier pinpoints Lovelady as located on the right-hand side of the steps in front of the TSBD when the shooting occurred.
Cinque: Note that Doorman was in the center of the doorway, not on either side, which we can see clearly in the Wiegman film. In the Altgens photo, it looks like he is next to the west column, but the west side of doorway was cut off to Altgens view.
Dr. McKnight: On March 18, 1964, Shelley told FBI Agents Robertson and Neeley that he was standing "just outside the glass doors of the entrance" when JFK was shot, and Lovelady was seated on the entrance steps just in front of me." How reliable was this testimony? Lovelady also mentioned sitting on the steps to eat his lunch, and in his testimony with Joseph Ball, Ball only asked Lovelady if he heard anything, not if he saw anything.
Dr. McKnight also cites Lovelady's testimony in which he said that he thought to himself after seeing his friends outside that he would to out there and sit down and eat his lunch. "I said... 'well I'll go out there and talk with them, sit down, and eat my lunch,' so I went out there." (6H338)
Dr. McKnight: Frazier in his WC testimony (2H242) stated that (paraphrase) "Lovelady was a couple steps down from me toward the wall."
Cinque: I found the exact quote:
Mr. BALL - When you stood out on the front looking at the parade, where was Shelley standing and where was Lovelady standing with reference to you?
Mr. FRAZIER - Well, see, I was standing, like I say, one step down from the top, and Mr. Shelley was standing, you know, back from the top step and over toward the side of the wall there. See, he was standing right over there, and then Billy was a couple of steps down from me over toward more the wall also.
So, Dr. McKnight recalled that pretty darn well from memory.
So, if Frazier, himself, was one step down from the top, and Lovelady was a couple of steps down from him, how could Lovelady possibly be Doorman, who was on the top landing?
I'll tell you what I think: I think Lovelady was a couple of steps down from Frazier at the time that he was seated on the steps eating his lunch. But, he, at some point, got up and moved to the top landing next to Oswald. He was Black Hole Man in the Altgens photo, and he indicated it on CE 369.
But, the question is: when did Lovelady get up from being seated? That's hard to say.
But, I am going to write to Dr. McKnight and explain to him my thesis about Lovelady's arrow being visible on CE 369. We'll see what he says.
