As for Mr Truly and Officer Baker, they will say NOTHING incriminating about Mr Oswald's demeanor (no sweating, not out of breath, no agitation) in the lunchroom encounter. The story they tell has to work both ways.
Many years later, Officer Baker takes part in the 'London Trial'. Mr Oswald's 'defense lawyer', Mr Gerry Spence, shows him a closeup of Altgens 6 and asks him if he recognizes the man in the doorway (whom
we know to be Mr Billy Lovelady). Ex-Officer Baker says straight up it looks like Mr Oswald. And that's it. He does
not add, 'But it can't be him, because I saw him up on the second floor just after that'. No-----------he knows two things:
-------------a) Mr Oswald was indeed in the doorway at the time of (or at least within seconds of) the shooting
-------------b) the fabricated lunchroom story was designed precisely to allow for the possibility that Mr Oswald could have been in that doorway and still, a very short time later, been up by the lunchroom as Officer Baker came off the first flight of stairs.
Had Mr Spence known the things we know----------starting with Officer Baker's 11/22 affidavit, Agent Hosty's draft interrogation report, the presence of Prayer Man----------that exchange would have gone to an even more interesting place!
