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

No, Backes. I specifically asked your friend Gary Mack if even the Sixth Floor Museum had an intact copy of the Martin film which included the Lovelady clip, and he said no. I asked him if he thought it existed anywhere in the world, and he said, "Probably not." 

So, this goes way beyond the internet. Why is there not a single copy of the Martin film ANYWHERE which has the Lovelady clip? And more important, why would it have been separated in the first place? Other films, such as the Hughes film, have both pre and post assassination coverage, and nobody cut it into pieces. 

And it is certainly a fact that until 1966, nobody had seen or noticed Lovelady in the DCA compilation or any other. Why wasn't the immediate response to Harold Weisberg to cite the Gorilla Man clip? What did they let him go on for 3 years for if they knew about that clip?

It's not even consistent qualitatively with the rest of the Martin film. I think the most likely thing that it came from another film that remained completely suppressed, probably because it showed Oswald, which they then used to infuse Gorilla Man into it because he wasn't Lovelady and he wasn't there on 11/22/63. 

Notice what it said in the caption by Harold Weisberg, that it was taken 15 minutes after the assassination. 15 minutes! B Pete tried to claim that Lovelady remained in front for 3 or 4 minutes after the assassination, and that's ridiculous in itself. But 15 minutes? There isn't a snowball's chance in Hell that Lovelady was out in front 15 minutes after the assassination. 

It's bogus, Backes. It was concocted, fabricated, precisely because of the stink Harold Weisberg was making.

Martin film, the hell it was. Maybe if Martin used a different camera.
