Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

There is an important distinction that has to be made: between what Oswald said about the first part of his trip and the second part of his trip.

There are multiple reports that Oswald said he traveled by bus and cab to his room on Beckley. But, there are no reports about what Oswald said about how he got from his room to the theater.

But, how can that be? They must have asked him: "OK, so you went to your room, you changed your pants, and then you went to the theater. So, how did you get to the theater?"

Of course, the official story has it that he walked from his room on Beckley  to 10th and Patton where he killed Tippit, and then he walked a different direction to get to the Texas Theater. But, what did Oswald say?

We don't know, but he must have said something. Why didn't they tell us? Why won't they tell us? 

I think it's because they don't want any other story out there to contrast with the story they're telling. If Oswald's account was published, it would go toe to toe against the official story, and maybe it would fare well. In fact, maybe it included elements that were so damaging that they couldn't let it be known. 

For instance, we all know about the police car that pulled up in front of his room and the horn tapped twice. That's according to his landlady. What if the driver of that car drove Oswald to the theater? According to Butch Burroughs, Oswald was in the theater by 1:07, which means that he couldn't have walked there. There wasn't enough time. But, there was enough time for him to be driven there. 

But, how would it sound if a POLICEMAN drove Oswald to the theater? Obviously, TERRIBLE. So, if that's what Oswald said, they couldn't let the world know. 

So, what did they say he said? Nothing. They didn't make up a phony story. I guess they could have but they knew better Because if they made up a phony story, they might have blown it. They might have said something that gave it away as being phony. So, it was better to say nothing. 

And it makes it all the more likely the bus and cab ride were true because it shows that they were aware of the danger of making up phony stories. Again: they made up no phony story about what Oswald said about how he got to the theater. No phony story. No phony story.
