Betzner-2 Shows Glasses-Wearing Mrs. Reid From A Slightly Different Angle

[Thomas Graves]

No. I would be inclined to say I stood in front of the entrance if I stood in front of the entrance.

John,

If you were standing where Roberdeau has "Reid" on his map, and you had to describe to the FBI where you were standing, how would you put it?

PS  Clarification:  In her March 1964 statement to the FBI, Reid didn't say she was standing "in front of the entrance," she said she was standing "in front of the Texas School Book Company building."  Period.

Go to page 79 of the document for her statement:

Sorry for any confusion I may have caused.

Mr. BELIN. Well, turning to Exhibit 361, the top of Exhibit 361 faces south and this is Houston Street, here is the School Book Depository Building that I am pointing to.
Can you give any estimate as to where you were with relation to this, well, I will call it a peninsula of land between the parkway and the building.
Mrs. REID. You have got me turned around.
Mr. BELIN. The parade was coming along Houston.
Mrs. REID. I was standing about along in here, in here.
Mr. BELIN. You were standing a little bit to the north of the spot marked "B" on Exhibit 361.
Mrs. REID. That is right.
Mr. BELIN. And you would be directly in front of the main entrance of the School Book Depository, is that correct?
Mrs. REID. That is correct
Mr. BELIN. Now, by "B" I am referring to, on Exhibit 361, I am referring to the pen ink--pen and ink "B" which is directly to the east of what I will call the traffic light on that peninsula of land as Elm goes into the parkway there. All right, what did you see?

Unfortunately, it's not really clear where the "B" is in CE 361.  Or the "T" that Truly supposedly put there.

John,

1)  She evidently was lousy at directions and "spatial reasoning"

2)  Belin led her

3)  "B" as in blob?
