What leads you to believe that the person who used the word "vestibule" knew the dictionary definition of that word?

Ray,

That's your answer?

PS  FWIW, back in 1966, only 2% of the millions of other high school juniors who wanted to go to college and who took the same test I did did better than I on the "Verbal Intelligence" part of the Scholastic Aptitude Test.

Point being: I'm pretty good with words.

When I first heard the word "vestibule" in the context of Oswald's alleged whereabouts about one minute after the assassination, I automatically assumed it referred to the smallish, oddly-shaped, enclosed "transit space" adjoining the second floor lunchroom.

But I was wrong, I guess, huh?

Regardless, I admit to being thrown for a bit of a loop by Holmes' testimony:

Mr. Belin: By the way, where did this policeman stop him [Oswald] when he was coming down the stairs at the Book Depository on the day of the shooting?
Mr. Holmes: He said it was in the vestibule.
Mr. Belin: He said he was in the vestibule?
Mr. Holmes: Or approaching the door to the vestibule. He was just coming, apparently, and I have never been in there myself. Apparently there is two sets of doors, and he had come out to this front part.
Mr. Belin: Did he state it was on what floor?
Mr. Holmes: First Floor. The front entrance to the first floor.
.......

Was Oswald really at "the front entrance to the 'vestibule' on the first floor"?

If that was the case, then why not keep it simple and say he was in the lobby near the front entrance?

Are we to understand that before the assassination, Postal Inspector Holmes had never been inside the TSBD?

Guess so.

Indeed but he said "vestibule", so we must assume he knew what the word meant.

Your guess is a good as anybody else.

Ray,

It's more likely that that world famous intellectual Rodney Dangerfield I mean Marion Baker used that word, and Holmes was simply "quoting" him.

"We saw him in a small storage room on the ground floor".

[Alan Ford]

"We saw him in a small storage room on the ground floor".

The vestibule:



Mr Oswald told Captain Fritz
-----------he visited the 2nd fl lunchroom before the parade
-----------he went outside to watch the parade
-----------he had an exchange with a police officer in the vestibule (front entrance, first floor) just after the shooting

Mr Ochus Campbell told reporters 11/22
-----------Mr Oswald was spotted in a small storage room on the ground floor shortly after the shooting
(Note: There is a small storage room just off the..... vestibule.)

DPD told reporters 11/22
-----------Mr Oswald had an exchange with a police officer at the front entrance just after the shooting.

The details of what really happened may still be a little hazy, but one thing is clear:

All the action was at the front entrance, first floor.

 

[Thomas Graves]

Correct.

From 09:20 on in her Sixth Floor Museum interview, Mary Woodward identifies the group of female fellow-journalists she was standing with as (from left to right in Zapruder): Aurellia Alonzo, Herself (blond-haired and "wearing a light grey wool dress"), Ann Donaldson Atterberry, and Margaret "Maggie" Brown Kennedy (whom we now know was standing to the immediate left of Karen Westbrook and the three other members of the headscarf-wearing "Calvery Group").
