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

Lovelady wore a short-sleeved, vertically striped shirt, just as he told the FBI. Oswald wore his long-sleeved, grainy shirt from Russia, and that is what we see in the Altgens photo. Now, the weird light/dark contrast is not a plaid pattern. Plaid means checkered, and there is nothing checkered about it. What accounts for the light/dark contrast is light reflection and distortion from the gross enlargement. And some of it is probably monkey business- stuff they added. 

You see, they were very worried that people would recognize Oswald's shirt. So, they came up with the idea to make it that instead of being Doorman's arm coming down, it was the black man's arm going up. I circled it on Doorman. It's supposed to be a hand there.  

Do you see on the right how Oswald's shirt was tattered? I circled it.  They covered that up with the black man. The black man was Carl Jones, and he was there, but he wasn't in that spot. He was at the bottom of the steps on the west side, and he was out of view to Altgens and his camera due to parallax. Due to the angular view, the west side of the doorway was cut off to Altgens. 

If you look at the Wiegman film, you'll see how it really was. Doorman (Oswald) was standing in the center at the top, and Carl Jones was standing at the bottom on the west side. Oswald and Jones were not close to each other. 

So, that was the reality; Altgens could not see Jones. The image of Jones that we see in the Altgens photo was taken by Congressman Phil Willis. He was directly across from the TSBD, so he had a square view of the entrance. 

So, on the left above is Carl from Willis, and on the right is Carl from Altgens. You can see that it's the same image. Willis took his slide about 3 PM. It was when the employees were coming out to go home. They had just been released. 

But, another reason why they stuck Carl Jones in there was to hide Oswald's hand-clasping. 

On the right, Oswald was waiting for the first lineup, and he stood clasping his hands in front, which was his habit. He did the same thing in the doorway, and it showed in the Altgens photo. They had to cover it up because Billy Lovelady didn't stand like that. And that's why they put the face of Carl Jones in there. If you look below Oswald's cuff, you see a shamrock-shaped form. That is supposed to be Jones' body. Of course, it doesn't look like a body, but they never expected anyone to view it so close and so large. From a distance, and without thinking about it, the mind accepts it as a body. 

So, both Black Man and Black Tie Man were installed in the Altgens photo. It was a frenzy of photographic alteration by a team from the National Photographic Interpretation Center. It was headed by Arthur Lundahl, but the real operational head of it, who led the team, was Dino Brugioni. 

I do not know if Brugioni was in Dallas. He denied being there, but he may have lied. We know that E. Howard Hunt lied about being in Dallas. So, Brugioni may have lied too.
