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

This is by Sean Murphy on Education Forum. He alleges an encounter between Oswald and Police Inspector Sawyer.

In his WC testimony Inspector J. Herbert Sawyer recalled his actions some four minutes after the assassination:

Mr. SAWYER. And I went with a couple of officers and a man who I believed worked in the building. The elevator was just to the right of the main entrance ...
Mr. BELIN. Now you took an elevator up, is that correct? 
Mr. SAWYER. That's right. 
Mr. BELIN. The route that you took to the elevator, you went to the front door? 
Mr. SAWYER. Right. 
Mr. BELIN. Then what did you do? 
Mr. SAWYER. We got into the elevator. We run into this man.

Who is the man they "run into"? The man "who I believed worked in the building" or a different man altogether? "We run into this man" is tantalisingly ambiguous. 
Belin, of course, doesn't inquire any further.

Compare this from the WC testimony of postal inspector Harry D. Holmes on the score of what Oswald said in custody on the Sunday morning:

Mr. BELIN. By the way, where did this policeman stop him when he was coming down the stairs at the Book Depository on the day of the shooting?
Mr. HOLMES. He said it was in the vestibule.
Mr. BELIN. He said he was in the vestibule?
Mr. HOLMES. Or approaching the door to the vestibule. He was just coming, apparently, and I have never been in there myself. Apparently there is two sets of doors, and he had come out to this front part.
Mr. BELIN. Did he state it was on what floor?
Mr. HOLMES. First floor. The front entrance to the first floor.
...
Mr. HOLMES. There was a commotion outside, which he later rushed downstairs to go out to see what was going on. He didn't say whether he took the stairs down. He didn't say whether he took the elevator down.
But he went downstairs, and as he went out the front, it seems as though he did have a coke with him, or he stopped at the coke machine, or somebody else was trying to get a coke, but there was a coke involved.
He mentioned something about a coke. But a police officer asked him who he was, and just as he started to identify himself, his superintendent came up and said, "He is one of our men." And the policeman said, "Well, you step aside for a little bit."
Then another man rushed in past him as he started out the door, in this vestibule part of it, and flashed some kind of credential and he said, "Where is your telephone, where is your telephone, and said I am so and so, where is your telephone."
And he said, "I didn't look at the credential. I don't know who he said he was, and I just pointed to the phone and said, 'there it is,' and went on out the door."

Might not Oswald have been the man whom Sawyer recalled having "run into" as he went to get on the passenger elevator?
Might not Sawyer have been the officer Oswald recalled having stopped him in or approaching the "vestibule" (a word which, lest we forget, means front lobby of a building)?
And might not the man Sawyer "believed worked in the building" have been the man Holmes recalled Oswald's having called his "superintendent"?

Do we have the makings of a fuller Oswald timeline here?
1. Second-floor lunchroom coke.
2. Through second-floor office area (seen by Jeraldean Reid).
3. Down to first floor by stairs or passenger elevator.
4. Encounter with Sawyer by stairs or elevator just off first-floor front lobby.
5. Encounter with credential-showing, phone-seeking man in front lobby.
6. Exit from building. 

Well, I agree there was an encounter between Sawyer and Oswald, and we even have a picture of it.

This is Sawyer talking to Oswald.
