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

I just got off the phone with Jim Fetzer, and he agreed that this latest campaign to claim Prayer Man as Oswald in the doorway is just a dis-info campaign by people who are trying to discredit our claim of Doorman as Oswald. 

How could Jim DiEugenio come up with this NOW when he's been studying the case for 30 years? Everybody has known about that guy in the Darnell film. If he thought he was Oswald, wouldn't it have occurred to him before now? 

But, this is going to backfire on them big-time. First, consider that it is an admission that Doorman WAS IN THE DOORWAY. Even though they've got the wrong guy, they've got the right place. In the process, they are dismissing all those who say Oswald was in the lunch room during the shots, or in the domino room, or just somewhere in the building, as the Idiot Backes maintains. So now, we've got our adversaries admitting that Oswald was, in fact, in the doorway. 

Hey, we've got a migration going here. bpete has already moved Oswald down to the threshold of the doorway to where he could see Shelley outside. And now DiEugenio places him outside. You see: progress. 

And there is no place else he could possibly have been but that doorway. His last known sighting inside the building was well before the assassination. And his first known sighting after the assassination was in the 2nd floor lunch room, which is not in dispute. It's the gap in-between that has to be accounted for, and there is no place else Oswald could be but "out with Bill Shelley in front". 

But, the clothes count for a lot, as 80% of Doorman is clothing, and Marrion Baker described Oswald's clothes as a "light brown jacket" over a "white shirt". Like this, for instance:

That matches perfectly what Marrion Baker said Oswald had on 70 seconds after the last shot. And you can't tell me that Oswald changed the way he was dressed in those 70 seconds. You try to say that, I tell you to get your proscenium arches and shove them where Joseph Backes shoves them. 

The Warren Commission said that Oswald did not change his shirt. Will Fritz wrote down that Oswald changed his "britches" not his shirt. That outfit above is what Marrion Baker saw on Oswald in the lunch room. He was even shown Oswald's arrest shirt, and he said that, yes, that was it. 

So, this is a package deal, and those clothes are part of the package. It's not just the man but also the clothes. And that's why there is no chance that Prayer Man was Oswald. Besides being too husky, he isn't dressed right. Doorman is the only one whose wardrobe matches Oswald.

So, that is why I say that DiEugenio has finally got the location right, but he is ignoring the clothing, the build, and other things. The spot-on match is between Oswald and Doorman, and Prayer Man is out in the cold. It is pathetic that they would be arguing that in 2013, and it is pure dis-info. I am publicly challenging Jim DiEugenio to debate this issue- in public. It was Oswald in the doorway as the Doorway Man in the Altgens photo. No ifs, ands, or buts. It was him, clasping his hands.
