Let's discuss further whether Attorney H Louis Nichols ever met with the real Lee Harvey Oswald. I say he didn't.  This is a timeline of Oswald's activities on Saturday, November 23. 

 10:25 AM: Another day of questioning begins.

11:35 AM: LHO is returned to his cell.

12:35 PM: LHO is taken to Fritz' office for questioning.

1:10 PM: Marina and Marguerite visit LHO.

1:40 PM: LHO tries unsuccessfully to contact Attorney John Abt.

2:15 PM: LHO appears in another lineup.

2:45 PM: Fingernail scrapings and hair samples are obtained from LHO with his
permission.

3:30 PM: Robert visits LHO.

4:00-4:30 PM: LHO phones Ruth and asks her to try to obtain John Abt as his attorney.

5:30 PM: LHO is visited by the president of the Dallas Bar Association, H. Louis Nichols.

6:00 PM: LHO is taken again for questioning.

7:15 PM: LHO is returned to his cell.

 I know of no way to confirm any of this. It's from John McAdams, and there are puzzling things about it. So, he had two successive questionings morning and afternoon? Separated by what? Lunch? Then, he spent over half an hour trying to call Abt? I find that hard to believe. Then, it took 45 m inutes for fingernail scrapings and hair samples? Then after visiting with Robert for half an hour, he talked to Ruth Paine for the same length of time? I don't believe that either. But then, there is a whole hour unaccounted for. Then, it claims he was visited by Nichols at 5:30.

5:30? Nichols told the Warren Commission that he launched his trip to City Hall at 5:30.

"I decided I might as well go up and talk to him, so, I cleaned up and went on up to the city hall. That was probably 5:30 or so in the afternoon." 

I take that to mean that he left for City Hall at 5:30. So, he had to drive there. Park. Walk inside. And then, he shoved his way through the  throng of reporters and cameramen to make his way to the 3rd floor. His intention was to speak to Captain King, who was an assistant to Chief Curry. But, King wasn't there. However, supposedly, Curry, from his office, saw Nichols and motioned him to come in. Nichols did, and Curry introduced him to the FBI agent who was there with him. And then they had to talk about what Nichols was doing there. And after Curry got it, he offered to take Nichols up to see Oswald. So together, they walked to the elevator room ,which went up to the higher floors where the jail was. And finally, Nichols was brought to Oswald in his cell. 

But, what are we looking at timewise? I figure at least half an hour. So, if he left his office at 5:30, Nichols could not have been sitting next to Oswald and talking to him until 6:00 at the earliest. But, that is when Oswald was brought to Fritz' office again for another interrogation. 

And it makes sense that they would have the phony Oswald in the cell waiting for Nichols while the real Oswald was busy being interrogated. 

Oswald repeatedly asked for legal assistance at the Midnight Press Conference, and he did not couch it as wanting Abt. He just wanted a lawyer. And he had done the same thing in the hall before that. I recall having counted it once that there were 13 recorded times that Oswald asked for legal help. And it is preposterous to think that when it was finally offered to him, he turned it down. 

Please join me in rejecting and disputing that Lee Harvey Oswald ever saw and met with H. Louis Nichols. Nichols met with an Oswald double, and it was all damage control for what happened late the night before.
