Was Lovelady coerced into testifying to parallel Oswald actions?
Mr. BALL - What did you do after you went down and washed up; what did you do?
Mr. LOVELADY - Well, I went over and got my lunch and went upstairs and got a coke and come on back down.
Mr. BALL - Upstairs on what floor?
Mr. LOVELADY - That's on the second floor; so, I started going to the domino room where I generally went in to set down and eat and nobody was there and I happened to look on the outside and Mr. Shelley was standing outside with Miss Sarah Stanton, I believe her name is, and I said, "Well, I'll go out there and talk with them, sit down and eat my lunch out there, set on the steps," so I went out there.
Mr. BALL - You ate your lunch on the steps?
Mr. LOVELADY - Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL - Who was with you?
Mr. LOVELADY - Bill Shelley and Sarah Stanton, and right behind me
Mr. BALL - What was that last name?
Mr. LOVELADY - Stanton.
Mr. BALL - What is the first name?
Mr. LOVELADY - Bill Shelley.
Mr. BALL - And Stanton's first name?
Mr. LOVELADY - Miss Sarah Stanton.
Mr. BALL - Did you stay on the steps
Mr. LOVELADY - Yes.
Mr. BALL - Were you there when the President's motorcade went by
Mr. LOVELADY - Right.
One certainly has to wonder, Mr. Davidson........ And I believe Mr. Lovelady may have taken on Mr. Oswald's role in his claim to have accompanied Mr. Shelley off the steps and over west.
Incidentally, Mr. Lovelady, in insisting (accurately) that he was indeed the man in the doorway in Altgens, gave false testimony when he stated he was over on the far west side of the doorway. He was misunderstanding the angle at which Mr. Altgens' photograph was taken!
The red shirted person in Bell(plotted) is (basically/very close) to where Lovelady? is in Hughes. That person is on the west side of the center railing and closer to the west wall opening
Are we sure about that, given Bell's POV? I've been thinking the red shirted person in Bell is at or close to the Lovelady-in-Altgens/Wiegman position (i.e. up several steps and right over by the center rail)? Cf. his relation to Ms. Maddie Reese (green arrow) in white down below in Bell.
I believe Mr. Lovelady is hidden from Hughes' view because the girl on the pedestal is in the way:
