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

 Officer Marrion Baker, unwittingly, vouched for Oswald's innocence, and in multiple ways. Right now, I wish to focus on what he said in his WC testimony about Oswald's clothes. He said that Oswald was wearing a light brown jacket and a white shirt. The white shirt was, of course, his t-shirt, and the light brown jacket was his arrest shirt. It was definitely a shirt and not a jacket, but it looked more like a jacket. That's because it was a Russian shirt that he acquired during his 3 year stay there. And it was constructed differently than American shirts. 

American shirts have stiff collars, and also a stiff piece of material going down the button holes called a placket. Oswald's shirt was made entirely of soft material. The result was that it folded over easily, which mimicked the lapel of a jacket. 

And before going any further, I need to tell you that CE 150 was NOT Oswald's shirt. That shirt did have a hard collar, and it could not have done what Oswald's shirt did. And Oswald's shirt was grainy with contrasting fibers that produced contrast- even in a black and white photo. Look at the collage.

 You see on the right how Oswald's shirt folded over. The other shirt CE 150 couldn't do that. And you see how dark and uniform CE 150 was. 

So, what happened with Marrion Baker is that he was asked what Oswald was wearing when he saw him at the 2nd floor lunch room. And he said that Oswald was wearing a light brown jacket and a white shirt. 

Just recently, little more than a week ago, Kendall Miller did the exact same thing. He described both Oswald's shirt and Doorman's shirt as jackets. He said they were different jackets, but both jackets. Well, neither was a jacket. They were both Oswald's unusual shirt; his Russian shirt. By describing both Oswald's and Doorman's garment as a jacket, Miller, like Baker, unwittingly gave away that they were the same shirt being worn by the same man. 

But, let's return to Baker. So, he was asked what Oswald wore, and he said a light brown jacket and a white shirt. But then, his interrogator showed him CE 150 and asked him to confirm that that was what he saw Oswald wearing. Baker couldn't do it. He equivocated. Read it yourself. and notice the confusing flip-flopping between the word "shirt" and the word "jacket." 

Mr. BELIN - Did you notice what clothes the man was wearing as he came up to you?
Mr. BAKER - At that particular time I was looking at his face, and it seemed to me like he had a light brown jacket on and maybe some kind of white-looking shirt.
Mr. BELIN- When you saw him in the School Book Depository Building, does this look familiar as anything he was wearing, if you know?
Mr. BAKER - I couldn't say whether that was--it seemed to me it was a light-colored brown but I couldn't say it was that or not.
Mr. DULLES - Lighter brown did you say, I am just asking what you said. I couldn't quite hear.
Mr. BAKER - Yes, sir; all I can remember it was in my recollection of it it was a light brown jacket.
Mr. BELIN - Are you referring to this Exhibit 150 as being similar to the jacket or similar to the shirt that you saw or, if not, similar to either one?
Mr. BAKER - Well, it would be similar in color to it--I assume it was a jacket, it was hanging out. Now, I was looking at his face and I wasn't really paying any attention. After Mr. Truly said he knew him, so I didn't pay any attention to him, so I just turned and went on.
Mr. BELIN - Now, you did see him later at the police station, is that correct?
Mr. BAKER - Yes, sir.
Mr. BELIN - Was he wearing anything that looked like Exhibit 150 at the police station?
Mr. BAKER - He did have a brown-type shirt on that was out.
Mr. BELIN - Did it appear to be similar to any clothing you had seen when you saw him at the School Book Depository Building?
Mr. BAKER - I could have mistaken it for a jacket, but to my recollection it was a little colored jacket, that is all I can say.

Keep in mind that Baker was not a hostile witness. He wasn't trying to help Oswald. He wasn't being ornery. He was a team player. But, he was also honest, and the fact was that Oswald's shirt looked like a jacket to him, just as it looked like a jacket to Kendall Miller in 2023. 

Oswald beat them that morning just by getting dressed. He made hell for them just by wearing that distinctive Russian shirt, which they have been lying about ever since. Again, CE 150 was NOT Oswald's shirt. So, our own government fabricated evidence and obstructed justice in order to "convict" Oswald. The very distinctive shirt of Oswald was the same very distinctive shirt of Doorman, and that's because Oswald was Doorman.
