They were both there, alright.

Mr. Molina: Yes, I was standing on the front steps.
Mr. Ball: With whom?
Mr. Molina: Right next left of me was Mr. Williams and close to there was Mrs. (Pauline) Sanders.

So, here's a speculation: Otis Williams said he was standing on the top step against the rail. That implies to me that he was leaning against the rail. And it does look like Ob Man is leaning against the rail.

Do you see how Ob Man seems to be leaning back? It seems that he has his back against the railing. Joe Molina was said to be very short. This is by Larry Rivera:

Joe Molina: Joe Molina held several positions with the TSBD company. When first hired, he worked as an accountant or book keeper in the Credit Department. At the time of the assassination, he had risen to the position of Credit Manager and had held that position for 3 or 4 years: “He handled over 10,000 accounts using an adding machine, making bank deposits, supervisor of the Credit Department, operating a Sensimatic Posting Machine, writing letters of credit and other miscellaneous duties.” He could also type 50 words per minute. These skills provided Joe with a desk job very few Mexicans in Dallas could attain at the time. It also helped that he is Mexican Caucasian. His immediate supervisor was 63 year old Otis Williams. Williams was Supervisor of the Book Keeping and Credit Department and was with Molina at the time of the shooting. According to secretary Virgie Mae Rackley, Williams and Molina were very close friends. She also described Molina as “a very religious man and a very fine man”.
By Texas standards,Molina is a very short and portly man, perhaps barely five feet tall. His work attire as Credit Manager consisted of a dress shirt and tie. Molina “took up a position on the top step of the entrance of the TSBD for the purpose of watching the Presidential Motorcade” (CE1381, pg 66). He also testified before the Warren Commission on 4/7/64, and 25 years later was interviewed by the Dallas Morning News on 11/20/88 in observance of the 25th anniversary of the assassination. He has never been interviewed or spoken in public since.

Note: Ob Man has got both arms crossing his chest. We see his left hand, and he is grabbing his right elbow with it.


There is no doubt about that. He could not be holding his left arm up like that by itself. He has got to be crossing both arms.
