In any event, that makes THREE separate Depository employees—Frazier, Lovelady, and Piper (plus reporter Kent Biffle)—who each has made reference to some type of "roll call" or "lineup" being conducted in the Book Depository Building before the employees were sent home on 11/22/63
_And Karen Scranton makes four
'We went back into the building and it was pandemonium.. there were police everywhere and they took a roll call of all of us to make sure we were all there'' - Scranton
Just sayin'..
As David points out:
In the above testimony, however, Eddie Piper was talking about the POLICE conducting that "lineup", not Roy Truly or Bill Shelley of the TSBD staff.
But after reading Piper's testimony, it makes me wonder if perhaps the "lineup" that Piper talked about could be the "roll call" that Frazier and Lovelady remembered. ? ? ?There is no doubt there was a "lineup" of employees taken by the police.
Truly -
"I noticed some of my boys were over in the west corner of the shipping department, and there were several officers over there taking their names and addresses"
Frazier
Mr. Ball: Had the police officers come in there and talked to you?
Mr. Frazier: Yes, sir; they come in and talked to all of us. They asked us to show our proper identification, and then they had us to write our name down and who to get in touch with if they wanted to see us...they, you know, like one man showed us, we had to give proper identification and after we passed him he told us to walk on then to the next man, and we, you know, put down proper information where he could be found if they wanted to see you and talk to you any more, and then we went on up to a little bit more to the front entrance more toward Mr. Shelley's office there with another man and stood there for a little
while and told us all that was there could go ahead and go home.
Piper
MR. PIPER -- I mean, when they lined us all up and told us to give our name and address and just to go home.
MR. BALL -- You say "they"; who do you mean?
MR. PIPER -- The detective—whoever it was.
MR. BALL -- The police?
MR. PIPER -- Yes...Frazier describes it best as a systematic processing of the warehouse men by the police, taking names and addresses. Piper describes it as being "lined up". He goes on to say he didn't think Givens was there either.
Both Frazier and Piper are talking about having their names taken by the police and not a roll call organised by Truly in which he rounds up all his "boys". Remember, Truly describes seeing his men being questioned by the police (the "lineup") but in no way does he relate it to a roll call at which only Oswald is absent.
For the third time, Scranton is referring to a roll call taken on the second floor which has nothing to do with the supposed roll call that Oswald fails to turn up for.
That leaves Lovelady.
To be honest I'm not sure what this is a reference to so can't really comment on it.
You're down to one (maybe not even that)
Just sayin'
