There was no response to Ray Mitcham's question. I would like to see one. Anyone? Did Truly lie about that man in saying he was working for him?What was Belin going to ask Truly about the 3rd floor? Belin asked nothing about the man Baker said they saw on the 3rd or 4th floors. Why not? When Baker was questioned by council, the 3rd or 4th floor man was apparently no longer a topic. Was the lunchroom encounter story contrived after all?

Mr Mitcham was quite right to ask the question! And the answer to
your question, Mr Freeman, is yes-------the lunchroom encounter story
was contrived.
Mr Oswald,
we now know, actually told Captain Fritz he had visited the second-floor lunchroom for a coke
before the assassination and then went back down to the first floor to eat his lunch... and then '
went outside to watch P. parade'. Captain Fritz & co. kept these explosive claims a secret----------and the truth only came out very recently. when Agent Hosty's notes were unearthed!
Officer Baker encountered Mr Oswald at the
front entrance to the building. He needed to know if Mr Oswald was an employee so he could show him the way to the stairs. Mr Truly then intervened and offered to escort Officer Baker.
There may have been no 'man walking away from the stairway' on the 'third or fourth floor'------------Officer Baker may have been told 'We have the assassin, he worked in the building, we need you to add him to your story'.
And then----------
while Officer Baker is giving his affidavit statement based on a suspect description handed to him----------who is brought in past him only
the guy he ran into at the front door!!
Does Officer Baker's affidavit note that the man in handcuffs was the man on the third or fourth floor?
No.
Does Officer Baker identify Mr Oswald in a subsequent lineup as the man on the third or fourth floor?
No.
Most likely Officer Baker agreed to invent an encounter with
an employee by the back stairs up a few floors, but----------when he found out that
the employee being accused of shooting JFK was
an employee who couldn't possibly have been up on the sixth floor at the time-----------he was stunned. It would explain why he took so long to put his name to the official story!
But!
If Officer Baker really did encounter a man walking away from the stairway a few floors up, it was someone involved in the assassination. Which raises the question:
Why did Mr Truly vouch for him as an employee?
