Credit to Johnny Hartley for finding this: KING, Glen D Press Counsel to Chief Curry, statement to American Society of Newspaper Editors, Vol. XX, pp. 453-69.

The description on his employment form was: weight 150 - height 5' 9". No age or date of birth. Yet the description is almost a perfect match for Baker's 3rd or 4 th floor man. Weight 165 - height 5' 10" 30 years of age - dark hair and wearing a light brown jacket. ----------- I know Sean came to the conclusion that there was no one on the 3rd or 4th floor that Baker or Truly ran into, but I just couldn't bring myself to believe Baker had lied in his first statement. This paints a whole new picture. That broadcast did go out - right down to the rifle. Given what King says, it had to have been Truly. And Truly was simply guessing Oswald's vital stats. Baker is immediately tapped to "confirm" that description as someone he runs into on an upper floor. Having Truly "confirm" it's an employee helps tighten the noose on Oswald with or without the description being right. Next step was to plant a light brown jacket at the Tippit murder site - or as close as they could get on short notice! Sean, I dips me lid again... And another mark against Truly - the Inside Man on this. | |

Truly to my mind was not an informant, but a filthy collaborator.
If he was then the document like the one below would not be around.
It could be a smoke screen, but I would need to see evidence that he was an informant.

This is just beautiful! Roy Truly being interviewed by Roy Bode for the Odessa American in April 1964. Found by Steve Roe and posted by Denis Morissette on FB.
Brennan had a chat with Baker and Truly.....as supposedly running up those stairs like hell....where Truly could not remember where they hooked up or where Baker said they nearly bumped into each other in the vestibule.....
Then the matter of being misquoted, purely to deflect any future phone calls to the TSBD about him being a lone nut friend or commie sympathiser.
Marguerite Oswald walks in the TSBD with Altgens6 and gets shown the door by RT? WOW! Would have loved to have seen that!
Truly lied to the WC like there was no tomorrow.

Truly & Baker so bogus. If Brennan told them "a gunman" then Truly running ahead of Baker on stairs all the more insane.
In reviewing Barto's Second Floor Anatomy lesson, some things become clear from the WC testimony: Truly thought Baker 'wanted to the roof', so he "escorted" him (security lingo for custodial care as in 'Security, escort this man to the door'). Truly was slooowwwing Baker down, and Baker's emotions were betraying his knowledge of that fact, which Belin had to work hard to neuter. It pissed Baker off that Truly held him back at the swinging door, only ran at a trot across the shipping room, farted around with calling up the elevator shaft. It was Baker who said let's take the stairs. When Baker said that Belin took it off record and then came back on to make it look like Baker was peering up the shaft and counting the cars with Truly. Baker did not like the script he was being given and although he went through the motions, they had to put a ring in his nose to make him do it.

- Curious that if they had a tip from Brennan that their was action on the 4th floor, Truly didn't take Baker to 4th on the front elevator. Maybe there was action up there and that is why Truly took him as far as possible, as slowly as possible, away from that sector of the building.

That makes sense to me. Truly's alleged assumption that Baker wanted to get to the top of the building was based on what?Jake Sykes wrote:

Here is a first day FBI memo stating 4th floor with a Winchester.
https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=62251&relPageId=65&search=%22colored_man%22
According to Anna Marie Kuhns-Walko, there were actually early reports of not one but TWO African-American snipers on the fourth floor - one facing Elm and the other facing the GK.

Peggy Joyce Hawkins testimony just got validated by Truly, they stood outside for a while or did they not ?
Also i´m curious about what Hoover told LBJ, that they met LHO as they entered the building, probably true also.
Otis Williams seeing LHO as he went inside the TSBD, and then Barrett saying that he made a big mistake when he let LHO go.
I have never tought that there was any conspiracy, I once wrote about a scandinavian man accused of being a paedofile, normal people were lying about what he had done, then it turned out that he was not guilty in the accusations that were made against him, I belive it was the same thing that happened here, they caught LHO, the people back then had no chance of knowing if he was the shooter or not, he COULD have been, so they just went along and nobody wanted to say that they did see him around 12:30 .
I believe that LHO was autistic or most probably did have Asbergers and was telling Capt. Fritz that he was on the stairs in the first interrogation and they panicked as the papers also did have Altgens 6 in the papers that evening, FBI was very relived when they were at Loveladys home and he told them that it was him in Altgens 6, I also thik that LHO being autistic was the reason he did not say anything when he was talking to the press, he is almost only answering questions and is not telling people where exactly he was.
If Barrett is still alive we need to ask him if he did let LHO out as the first person , then we need to ask BWF who the person beside him is.
Also a couple of years ago, there was this 6. grader that made a schoolpaper about the assasination, she got a home movie of the reenactment and also there was this witness that said she was running inside the TSBD right after the shooting and she did see LHO, I have tryed to get too see this papers, to see if the journalist did write something wrong when she wrote about this schoolpaper, but I have not had any luck, have tryed to send a message to the journalist that wrote the article about this 6. th grader but did ot get an answer.

Yes, F. I. Oswald most likely had Asperger's syndrome. It would explain a lot of his behaviour.

According to the book Partners in Blue by Carlton Stowers, Jack Revill radioed the description of the suspect with Brennan as his source from his car.

Amos Euins says that he talked to a Motorcycle officer right after the shooting, were there any other motorcycle officers around TSBD right after the shooting ?
I think that maybe it was Euins that gave the description, that is the reason they could not "remember" who it was that gave the description, a young negro boy Dallas 63 hmm.

1. He asked Oswald what floor he usually worked on and he has Oswald answering "usually on the 2nd". The fact is that Oswald usually worked on the first floor. Why would he lie to Fritz about that? The answer is, he wouldn't. But Fritz would. Fritz had reason to,
2. The reason for lie number one was to set up lie number two. "I asked Oswald where he was when the police officer stopped him. He said he was on the second floor drinking a coke." Bullshit! Oswald was on the first floor - WHERE HE USUALLY WORKED - AND ATE drinking the coke when "the officer" - not necessarily Baker - came in.

The description is often accredited to Brennan initially but I don't believe that nor do I think it was Euins or if it was he might have been considered as the original source in lieu of anyone else that is until Brennan came along. There were rumours suggesting Brennan initially told reporters ajffiliated with NBC that he thought the shiots came from the railway. He had to be brought back to the WC to confirm or deny this and he of course denied them. However I remember reading that Brennan was present when Euins was talking saying he saw the shooter and the rifle from the TSBD windows and also suggested that he adopted a bullshit story from the back of what Euins was claiming. In other words he made it up. I tend to believe this to be true. What Brennan claimed was ridiculous. Even the WC at the proclaimed his version as probative given he at the end didn't identify Oswald. My opinion is he got scared once he realised how far his story had travelled. Ford called him their Star witness but it didn't pan out that way. He was full of shit and they discovered that about him. He was asked to attend the HSCA committee but made first class travel demands for both him and his wife. Wrote a book of his account that read like s bad thriller. The bloke was full of it. I reckon Truly was the source but that ultimately the messenger of course couldnt be him. Euins was probably considered till Brennan butted in.

Brennan claims that he was more than 100 feet from the Depository and that he saw the upper portion of Oswald's body while Oswald stood at a sixth floor window.
How could Brennan judge a man's height when he saw only a portion of his body? The sworn statement made by Brennan to the police on 11/22/63, according to the Commission, made no reference to Oswald's height [p. 144] and gave a different weight. It seems then that the Commission’s guess that the police description “probably” came from Brennan is inaccurate. National Guardian, Mark Lane

It might be interesting to see what someone like Peter Hyatt, who specialises in statement analysis, would make of various statements, testimonies and reports about the JFK assassination:

Mr. BRENNAN. He said, "just a minute." And he had to give some orders or something on the east side of the building on Houston Street. And then he had taken me to, I believe, Mr. Sorrels, an automobile sitting in front of the Texas Book Store.Vinny wrote:January 10, 2016 at 4:16 PM

Here is Saywers' testimony on it.
Mr. SAWYER. That description came to me mainly from one witness who claimed to have seen the rifle barrel in the fifth or sixth floor of the building, and claimed to have been able to see the man up there.
I got the description and sent him on over to the Sheriff's Office.
Mr. BELIN. Inspector, do you remember anything else about this person who you say gave you the primary description?
Mr. SAWYER. No, I do not, except that I did send him with an escort to the Sheriff's Office to give fuller or more complete detail.
Mr. BELIN. And then what happened there?
Mr. BRENNAN. I related my information and there was a few minutes of discussion, and Mr. Sorrels had taken me then across the street to the sheriff's building.
Mr. STERN - Then you accompanied Brennan and Euins where?
Mr. SORRELS - To the sheriff's office, which was right across the street from the Book Depository.
Mr. STERN - Did you have any further conversation withe them on the way over there?
Mr. SORRELS - Oh, yes; we discussed--I was talking to him on the way over there about what they saw and observed, and told them we would like to come in there where we could get their statements down in writing.
Whoever it was that Sawyer sent over to the Sheriff's Office, it wasn't Brennan.

A lot of people refer to this description as the "CIA" description and jump to the conclusion that this description must have come to DPD via CIA. Maybe it did, because as you show - the CIA did have that description.
But that description was not one the CIA obtained for themselves - it was given to them by the FBI. It is the exact same description Marguerite gave FBI agent Fain when he interviewed her during her efforts to find out where Lee was.
There is nothing sinister per se in Marguerite's inaccurate description. I can guarantee if my mother had ever been asked to give my wight, weight, eye color etc, if she got any if it right, it would be by lucky guess only.
What is lucky for us is that whoever gave it to the cops believed it was accurate, and that exposes some of the flaws in the case, for example, how on earth can they claim with a straight face that Tippit wanted to question Oswald because he fit the description?
