Not for the first time I discover I have spent time re-inventing the wheel.
The issue of the soda drink machine or machines has been covered by several others. The LG theorists claim that there was a Dr. Pepper machine on the 1st floor near the rear stairs and this was the machine referred to by Jarman. Since several witnesses described going up to the second floor to use the cola machine inside the lunchroom it was wrongly assumed that only one machine was inside the TSBD. It has also been claimed that Buell Frazier (some years later) remembered the Dr. Pepper machine on the first floor being next to a refrigerator. If this is true then the WC missed an opportunity to undermine Oswald's reasons for being on the 2nd floor when confronted by Marrion Baker. Oswald had nothing in his hands according to either Baker or Truly and, devastatingly, was known to be a Dr. Pepper drinker! Case closed methinks.
Some claim that a Dr. Pepper machine is visible in photos of the 1st floor taken for the WC although I can't quite see that myself; it looks rather 'Badgeman' to my failing eyesight. And if there was a refrigerator on the 1st floor why did some workers leave their lunches on the window sill in the Domino Room?

Your argument is as much with him as it is with me.

Connally heard the shot that hit the President AFTER the President had actually been hit, and at a time when he himself had not been hit, and that, as he pointed out, means that they were definitely hit by separate bullets.

Connolly said he didn't see the President but his wife said she turned and saw the President clutching his throat and then saw the reaction as the second bullet hit her husband.

Cheers, George
And note that during that interview, as in the press conferences he gave in 1963, when Connally mentioned the first shot he meant one that hit Kennedy in the back, by second shot he meant one that hit him, and by third shot he meant the one that caused the President's head to explode.
He did not mention the very first shot, which missed the limousine altogether, nor the throat shot.
There have got to be more than three shots.

Originally posted by cobalt View PostIt's a pretty good description of a guy nicknamed 'Shorty' and a great deal more accurate than any ID witnesses of Oswald. The stumbling point remains: how did Oswald know that Jarman and Norman passed through the domino room shortly before the assassination?[/SIZE]
Oswald was lying when he said Jarman and Norman passed through the domino room shortly before the assassination.
Harman and Norman did not pass through the domino room shortly before the assassination. Norman's testimony is that he and Jarman went outside around 12:00 to 12:10. Jarman's testimony is that he re-entered the building with Harold Norman between 12:20 and 12:25, then took the elevator up to the 5th floor.
Jarman testified that he ate his lunch while walking around on the first floor, not in the domino room.
Norman ate his luinch in the domino room. He didn't see Oswald.
Troy West said he ate lunch in the domino room. He didn't see Oswald.
Danny Acre said he ate lunch in the domino room. He didn't see Oswald.
Jack Dougherty said he ate lunch in the domino room. He didn't see Oswald.
And Oswald claimed he had been alone, somehow failing to see West, Acre, and Dougherty."The full picture always needs to be given. When this does not happen, we are left to make decisions on insufficient information." - Christer Holmgren

Oswald claimed to be inside, in the domino room - a claim that is contradicted by the testimony of Jarman, Norman, West, Acre, and Dougherty.
Lets apply simple logic here. Which is more likely - Oswald was lying or Jarman, Norman, West, Acre, and Dougherty were lying.

You take Oswald's claim that he was having lunch at the time of the assassination to be proof that he was in the building at the time of the assassination even though you deny he was having lunch?!
I repeat my question:
How do you know that Oswald was known to have been in the building at the time of the shooting?

I don't see how you can substantiate the above statement.

I am applying simple logic!
You say Oswald was lying when he said he was having lunch in the building at the time of the shooting.

On page 79 of Jesse Curry's book, Assassination File, there is a copy of Oswald's arrest report.
His weight is recorded as 131 lbs.
