YES, HE WORKS HERE!

YES, HE WORKS HERE!


Lee Bowers was  working in a railroad tower behind the picket fence atop the “Grassy Knoll”.

Bowers will testify to the Warren Commission that at the time of the shooting he saw a “flash of light” at the fence.

Just after the last shot, Dallas policeman Marion Baker, riding on his motorcycle on Houston Street, sees pigeons fly off the roof of the Texas School Book Depository.

He rushes in the front door & asks Roy Truly, TSBD superintendent, how to get upstairs.  Since the elevator is unavailable, they take the stairs.

On the 2nd floor landing, Baker sees a man moving away from the door through a window.  He opens the door & confronts the man.

Baker asks Truly if he knows him.  Truly says: “Yes, he works here.”  The man is Lee Harvey Oswald.  It is just 90 seconds since the last shot was fired. 


Baker continues up the stairs. 

Since Baker nor Oswald used the elevator, the “suspect” would have had to come down the stairs which were located on the opposite side of the building from where a “sniper’s nest” will be found on the 6th floor.
