The Girl on the Stairs- Was Oswald Even at the Sixth
Floor
at the Time of the Assassination?
John Delane Williams
There
is a good chance that the reader might not be familiar with the author of The Girl on the Stairs, Barry Ernest. [1] Yet he has been involved in pursuing the
assassination since 1967, when he was a student at Kent State University. Like
a lot of us fellow travelers researching the assassination, he was attending to
his day job and living his life. Arguably, his interest in the assassination
probably helped abbreviate his first stint in college. He entered the Navy,
served as a radar man, and then, more deliberately, returned to college at Point
Park College in Pittsburgh, studying journalism. He then worked at newspapers
in New York, Syracuse, and York, Pennsylvania, where he was an investigative
reporter and a feature writer. Eventually, he became a press secretary and
director of communications for the State of Pennsylvania. He still lives in
Harrisburg.
At
Kent State, his JFK journey began when a classmate asked him, "Hi, I'm
Terry. Why is it that you believe in the Warren Report?" [2]
As
Ernest tried to explain his then conviction, his classmate, and soon to become
a friend, challenged him to look more deeply into the issue. Terry left behind
a copy of a Playboy magazine, turned to an interview of Mark Lane. Ernest's
reading of the article resulted in his missing his logic class. Ernest's
solution to this class-cutting was to go to a bookstore and buy Lane's Rush to Judgment. [3] In Lane's making
mincemeat out of the Warren Report, Ernest read about a witness named Victoria Adams.
When
Ernest returned the magazine, Terry again asked him if he still believed the
Warren
Report. Ernest's reply was still in the
affirmative, but with new questions about Victoria Adams. Terry continued to
give Ernest more assignments on pursuing the trail of the assassination. [4]
This
reportage style, wherein Barry Ernest reflects on his thoughts at a given point
in time, together with a chronological approach to his writing, is used. Ernest
was given a gift in having excellent tutors. He had a long standing
relationship with Harold Weisberg, and also with Penn Jones. Early on, Ernest
settled on pursuing the place of Victoria Adams in regard to understanding more
fully the JFK assassination. In that he chose to pursue information on Victoria
Adams, it is interesting to note that he neither confirmed that she was living
or dead until 2002, some 35 years after he began his journey. Not only did he
eventually find her alive, she was willing to help him in his pursuit of truth.
Who
Was Victoria Adams?
Victoria
Elizabeth Adams was born in San Francisco. She was abandoned by her parents at
11, and became a ward of the state. She had several foster families. She
attended and graduated in 1959 from Presentation High School, a Catholic school
for girls in San Francisco. In high school, she worked part-time as a writer
for the Monitor, a San Francisco Catholic newspaper, which is where her foster
father at the time worked. Upon high school graduation, she entered the
Ursuline Order as a novice in St. Martin, Ohio. After a two-year novitiate, she taught sixth
grade at Catholic schools in Atlanta and Dallas. She lost her fervor for
Catholicism and did not wish to continue teaching in Catholic schools. She went
to work with the Scott Foresman book company as an office-survey representative
at the Texas Schoolbook Depository in Dallas. [5]
She was working there on November 22, 1963,
watching the presidential motorcade with three other employees, Sandra Styles,
Elsie Dorman (who was recording the motorcade with a movie camera), and Dorothy
Ann Garner, from a fourth floor window. Their view was obstructed by trees when
they heard something like a firecracker. Then Victoria Adams walked down the only
staircase with Sandra Styles. Both were in their high heel shoes. They walked
down the stairs to the first floor. No one was noticed nor sounds of other
persons were heard on the staircase. They proceeded toward the back entry where
they encountered a large black man on their way out. Victoria Adams mentioned
to him that she thought the president may have been shot. They went out the
back entry, going no more than 20 feet when they were stopped by a policeman.
They
then went to the front of the building, where they heard a police broadcast
coming from a radio on a policeman's motorcycle. The radio said that the shots
may have come from the fourth floor of the Texas Schoolbook Depository
building. Because Adams and her co-workers had been on the fourth floor, she
became apprehensive. Adams saw a man at the corner of Houston and Elm Street
that she would later realize was Jack Ruby. Styles re-entered the building
first, with Adams re-entering shortly thereafter. In the next several months
all four women were interviewed regarding their experiences and observations. The
two women who went down the stairs (Adams and Styles) corroborated each other's
statements. [6]
After
being interviewed by several men, Adams was cleared to go to her apartment
shortly after 2 P.M. When she got to her apartment, she sat down and wrote in
detail all that she had seen and experienced to John O'Conner, who was the
editor of the Monitor, the San Francisco Catholic newspaper where Adams had
worked as a high school student. O'Conner never received the letter.
Among the four co-workers, only Victoria Adams
was interviewed by the Warren Commission. Her interviewer was David Belin. Her
reportage of the events of November 22, 1963 concurred with her statements to
the FBI, with one major exception: "After the third shot, following that,
the third shot, I went to the back door and encountered Bill Shelley and Bill
Lovelady on the way out to the Houston Street Dock." [7]
This
change was crucial; Shelley and Lovelady did not enter the building until 5 to10
minutes after the shooting. Were this change true, Adams and Styles would have
come down the stairs too late to see or hear Oswald on the stairs. But did
Victoria Adams say what she was reported as having said? As we will see later,
Roger Craig's testimony was altered in significant ways. Finding the original
recording or interviewing Victoria Adams would help answer this question.
Victoria
Adams moved from Dallas to the home office of Scott Foresman in Chicago in
July, 1964. She was given the chance at a transfer and she jumped at it. But Chicago is where the trail ran cold for
Ernest.
Some
of the details in the intervening years would be revealed to Ernest when he
finally made contact with Victoria Adams in 2002. She worked at Scott Foresman
in Chicago for two years. She'd hoped that they would help her continue her education
with some financial help; Scott Foresman was unwilling to do this. She met and
married a man who lived in the suburbs of Chicago. Later, they moved to San
Diego. [8] There she worked as an office manager for several surgeons. She went
back to college and got a degree in general education. She then moved into real
estate and continued her education, culminating in receiving a degree in
business administration and achieving summa cum laude. The couple chose to take
a trailer on the roads for the next six years, seeing America. They next
relocated to the Seattle area, and eventually moved to Oregon, where she
settled again into the real estate business. Ernest finally contacted Adams in
2002. She passed away in 2007. [9]
Ernest's
First Trip to Dallas
In
March 1968, Barry Ernest made his first trip to Dallas and Dealey Plaza. He had
begun correspondence with Eugene Aldridge, who had been mentioned in one of the
books Ernest had read regarding the assassination. Aldridge met Ernest at Dealey
Plaza and Aldridge proceeded to give Ernest a guided tour of the Plaza.
Aldridge also took Ernest to Midlothian, where Ernest was introduced to Penn
Jones. Jones asked Ernest to try to interview Kenneth Cody, a man whose
telephone number appeared twice in Lee Harvey Oswald's notebook. Jones thought
a young outsider would have a better chance of talking to Cody, whom Jones
thought might have been scheduled to fly one or more assassins out of Dallas on
the day of the assassination. Ernest did talk to Cody, who surmised that
Oswald, whom he had never spoken to, might have copied the number down from a
property that Cody was trying to sell. Cody was asked if he had a pilot's
license or knew how to fly a plane. A simple "Nope" seemed to handle
Jones interests. [10] Jones felt that J.D. Tippet was as much a patsy as
Oswald. [11] Jones suggested that Ernest talk to Carroll Jarnagin, a lawyer who
claimed he saw Oswald and Jack Ruby talking at the Carousel Club. Jarnagin was
very concerned with becoming a victim of those that were eliminating
assassination witnesses, and was too afraid to impart any information.[12]
A
productive meeting occurred with Roy Truly, Superintendent of the Texas School
Book Depository building. Though Truly refused Ernest's request to see the
stairs, Ernest went there anyway, unbeknownst to Truly. Oswald had told the police
that he had been eating his lunch on the first floor lunchroom, then going up
to the second floor to get a drink, where he was encountered by Officer Marion
Baker. Could it be possible that Oswald was telling the truth? [13]
An
interview was conducted with S.M. Holland, a supervisor for the Union Terminal
Railroad, who witnessed the motorcade with perhaps the best view of it from the
overpass. Holland reported four shots,
including one from behind the fence on the knoll. [14] Carolyn Walther, who saw
two men in the sniper's nest, was questioned by the FBI, but not the Warren
Commission. She passed by Abraham Zapruder on the fateful day, and heard
Zapruder say that President Kennedy was shot in the forehead, from the front.
Walther ended with, " I know what I saw and I know what I heard. And it's
not what the government is telling us how it happened." [15] Ernest's
first trip to Dallas seems quite productive. One discordant note was that he
still had no leads on trying to track down Victoria Adams.
The
National Archives and Meeting Harold Weisberg
Ernest
began going to the National Archives in his search for Victoria Adams.
Initially, his friend Terry accompanied him. One day, they were allowed to
watch the Zapruder film several times. Later that night, Terry said, "I've
grown tired of it. We're never going to know the truth anyway. That film [the
Zapruder film] proved it." [16]
Ernest
continued on in his search for Victoria Adams. One day at the National
Archives, he saw someone he thought he knew; then he realized he knew him from
the pictures on his books. It was Harold Weisberg. Weisberg said, "Gary
(Schoener) told me you might be here. He speaks highly of you. Pull up a chair
and we'll talk a bit." [17] Weisberg
asked Ernest to make copies of certain
materials and send them to him, in care of Jim Garrison's address. Ernest
complied with Weisberg's request the following day.
A
Second Visit to Dallas
Dropping
out of college at the time of the Vietnam war was an invitation to the draft
board to send a draft notice. Ernest avoided this fate by enlisting in the
naval reserves. In July 1968, he was scheduled to enter the navy in the next
month. He went to Dallas, on an assignment from Weisberg. Weisberg wanted
Ernest to inquire about files and pictures that were still in Sheriff Bill
Decker's possession. Decker blew him off. A second visit was made to Carroll
Jarnagin. Jarnagin was adamant that the person he saw talking to Ruby WAS
Oswald.
Next,
arrangements were made to meet Roger Craig, a former deputy sheriff who saw
Oswald get in a green station wagon minutes after the assassination. When
questioned about the "car" Oswald got into, Oswald replied,
"That station wagon belongs to Mrs. Paine--don't try to drag her into
this." [18] Deputies confirmed a green station wagon was parked at the
Paine's address. It appears this information wasn't consistent with the information
the Warren Commission was seeking. Craig told Ernest that when he read his
testimony in the Warren Commission report, his testimony was significantly
altered; among the changes was that the color of the station wagon was changed
from green to white. [19] Ernest got to see how the police treated Craig. Craig
was stopped for allegedly running a red light. Ernest interjected that he had
been watching the lights, and Craig had gone only through green lights. Then
the police checked Ernest's drivers license, and questioned him. Eventually,
the police let Craig go, this time. [20] In his search for Victoria Adams,
there were no new leads.
Going
into the Navy
Ernest's
"hobby" of researching the JFK assassination did not please the
military. Ernest was asked by Weisberg to look for JFK's official death
certificate. Ernest had written both the Department of Defense and the Bethesda
Naval Hospital in hopes of finding the certificate. Both responded that they
could not locate the document. Copies of both letters also ended up with the
Office of Personnel. His entry into the navy was expedited to the next day, to
an aircraft carrier docked in Portsmouth, Virginia. He found ways to continue
his search in the Archives, and by chance, found the misplaced death
certificate for JFK, signed by Kennedy's personal physician, Rear Admiral George
Burkley. Ernest surmised that after reading the death certificate, it was clear
that Burkley had placed the shot in the back much lower than had been reported
by the autopsists. A copy was made; Ernest had succeeded in this assignment
from Weisberg. [21]
Upon
getting out of the navy, Ernest went to college at Point Park College, where he
majored in journalism, got married, started a career in journalism; in short,
he was getting a life. He did follow the House Subcommittee on Assassinations.
(HSCA) Ernest sums up his efforts in 1981:
"Victoria Adams, was lost,
my efforts to find her fruitless and wasted.
There were no leads. At this
point, I had lost my focus, perhaps even my
determination. Maybe Terry was
right after all. I began to wonder if any of
this was really worth it anymore. Then, when I
stopped wondering, I quit." [22]
Getting
Back in the Saddle
The
hoopla related to the release of the Oliver Stone film, JFK (1991), brought new
interest in the assassination, and Ernest's occasional newspaper articles and radio
appearances gave rise to him being asked to lead discussion groups on the
topic, though his new efforts would be less frequent due to his job
responsibilities.
Ernest
began going back to the National Archives again. In May, 1999, Ernest made a
discovery regarding Victoria Adams in a letter to J. Lee Rankin, General
Counsel for the Warren Commission, dated June 2, 1964. In the letter, Martha
Joe Stroud, Assistant United States Attorney under Barefoot Sanders, was
forwarding corrections of Victoria Adams testimony given to David Belin. Stroud
also stated that, "Mr. Bellin (sic) was questioning Miss Adams whether or
not she saw anyone as she was running down the stairs. Miss Garner, Miss Adams
supervisor, stated this morning that after Miss Adams went downstairs, she
(Miss Garner) saw Mr. Truly and the policeman come up." [23]
That
letter pinpointed the time of Victoria Adams and Dorothy Styles going down the
stairs quite closely, it also appeared to lend credence to Oswald's alibi that
he was in the lunchroom during the assassination, and not on the sixth floor.
Ernest went to see Harold Weisberg to tell him about his findings. Weisberg
told Ernest that it was time for him to write a book about his search for
Victoria Adams. [24]
A
Third Trip to Dallas
Ernest's
third trip to Dallas occurred in October 1999, some 31 years since his last
visit. He found Dealey Plaza to be somewhat of a circus. Included in the
performers was Robert Groden, hawking his books from a cardboard table. Some
hucksters were selling JFK papers, and others were doing "tours" of
Dealey Plaza to naive visitors with money. He met with Joe Cody, a nephew of
Kenneth Cody. Joe Cody was a retired policeman, who had been friends with Jack
Ruby from around 1950. Ironically, Cody had purchased a handgun, and gave it to
Ruby (though it was still in Cody's name). It was the gun that Ruby used to
murder Oswald. This set of circumstances was embarrassing to Cody within the
police department.
James
Leavelle had interviewed Victoria Adams back in 1964. Leavelle vaguely
remembered interviewing her, but said her statement wasn't germane to what they
were looking for. They were looking for information that would prove Oswald
guilty. Ernest went to visit Gary Mack at the Sixth Floor Museum. Mack showed
him the film that Elsie Dorman filmed from the fourth floor window, standing
with Veronica Adams, Sandra Styles, and Dorothy Garner. This film would have
shown what Victoria Adams would have seen on that fateful day. The film was
jumpy, and ended when trees interfered with the vision of the motorcade. [25]
Finding
Victoria Adams
On February 2, 2002, Larry Roberge, a friend
of Ernest's, following a lead, e-mailed a potential Victoria Adams to ascertain
if she was the person Ernest was looking for. It indeed was the correct
Victoria Adams! [26] The next day, Ernest e-mailed Adams, explaining his
efforts and interest in pursuing the truth in her story.
Victoria
was then 61 years old and living on the West Coast. Reflecting back on her time
in Dallas, Ms. Adams (her now preferred name) stated, "Still, I saw what I
saw and my testimony apparently didn't fit what the government wanted. That is
too bad. Repeatedly I had asked that my testimony be confirmed by another
witness who was with me part of the time, but I was basically blown off."
[27]
James
Leavelle showed up at her new apartment (she'd only moved in the day before,
and the apartment was in her roommate's name) asking to interview her. When she
said that she had already been interviewed by the police several times,
Leavelle indicated that their records had been destroyed by a fire. The whole
thing seemed bogus (there was no fire), and Adams had informed no one of her
new address. Only by following her would they know where she lived. [28]
Later
she was questioned in Dallas by David Belin. He did an "off the
record" dry run of the questions he would ask during the recorded
testimony. Victoria Adams was told to answer the questions exactly as she did
in the "off the record" session. At the end of the session, Belin
asked if she had anything to add. To his surprise she said yes, and added that
she had seen Jack Ruby in front of the Texas Schoolbook Depository right after
the assassination. A transcript was later delivered to her office for her
corrections. None of her corrections appeared in her final published testimony.
Neither did she say that she saw Bill Shelley and Bill Lovelady, nor did it
appear in the transcript that she corrected. [29]
In
a later interchange, Ernest asked Ms. Adams about the Martha Joe Stroud letter
where Stroud stated that Dorothy Garner saw Roy Truly and Office Marion Baker
come up the stairs after Victoria
Adams left. Ms. Adams stated, "Miss Garner corroborated what I know I did
and when I did it." [30]
When
asked about her speaking to Bill Shelly and Bill Lovelady before exiting the
building wherein Adams had mentioned to them President Kennedy might have been
shot, she replied that she did say that to a fairly large black man who she
thought was a warehouse worker. In regard to Bill Shelley and Bill Lovelady,
she emphasized, "They weren't there." [31]
The
interview with Leavelle that occurred at her apartment also had the
Shelley-Lovelady interaction. She stated that this was an insertion and not
part of her answers. Ms. Adams stated,"...if I didn't see them, why would
the police put that in there? Is this why the police lied to me about a fire,
so they could interview me again?" [32]
Also,
the statement at the end of her Warren Commission testimony had the indication
that she had waived her rights to reviewing her testimony. Clearly, they sent
someone to bring a typescript to her to review her statement. If she had waived
her right to review them then that was unlikely to have happened. Ms. Adams
summed this up by stating, "I suspect my testimony has been doctored, but
I had no proof since I had no copy of the original." [33]
Sandra
Styles
Fortunately, contacting
Sandra Styles was much easier than finding Victoria Adams. Knowing that she
graduated from Baylor University, Sandra Styles Butler was listed as an alumna.
After contacting the University, within a few hours, Ernest had her address,
telephone number, and e-mail address.
Ernest called her on February 13,
2002, and asked her when she and Miss Adams left the fourth floor window. She
replied, ‘I don’t remember any more.” [34]
Ernest then said,
"Mrs. Butler, please think hard. Do you remember whether you actually saw
Kennedy’s car go into the overpass?" [35]
She answered, "No,
I don’t remember that at all. That was when we left." [35]
She mentioned that no
one was heard on the back stairs. A few
people were milling around on the first floor; one was a black man. When
asked if she saw Shelley and Lovelady there, she thought they may have been in
front of the building with the other employees. [36]
When told that Miss
Adams testified that she saw Shelley and Lovelady on the first floor, Mrs.
Butler replied, “I can’t imagine why Vicky would have said that--if she did.
They definitely were not there.” [37]
After Ernest spoke with
Sandra Styles Butler, he contacted Victoria Adams again. She was not surprised
by Mrs. Butler’s comments. Ms. Adams was happy that for the first time someone
had talked with both her and Sandra and uncovered the truth. [38]
Ernest and Adams
remained in contact for the next six years. She died of cancer on November 15, 2007,
less than two months after informing Ernest of her condition. [39]
Mrs. Garner
Barry Ernest self
published an earlier version of The Girl
on the Stairs in 2011. Later in June 2011, Ernest spoke with Mrs. Garner.
Mrs. Garner and the other three employees, Sandra Styles, Victoria Adams, and
Elsie Dorman, were watching the presidential motorcade from a fourth floor
window of the Texas Schoolbook Depository. Mrs. Garner told the FBI that she
remained on the fourth floor until approximately 2:30 P.M. Mrs. Garner replied
that the girls (Miss Styles and Miss Adams) left immediately to go down the
stairs. After the girls went downstairs, she (Mrs. Garner) went to a storage area by the freight elevator and
the stairway where she could see the activity in both the elevator and the rear
stairway. Mrs. Garner was asked if she had seen Lee Harvey Oswald come down the
stairs after Miss Adams and Miss Styles went down the stairs. She answered,
“No, I don’t remember that. I don’t remember seeing him at all that day--except
on TV.” [40]
Another Trip to the
National Archives
Ernest went back to the
National Archives to examine once again the testimony of Victoria Adams. He
found that two versions of her testimony then existed. One version, apparently
the one he saw in 1968, had no corrections, nor any other ink marks, but now
had an inked signature, with Victoria
Adams' name affixed. This version was declassified from Top Secret twice, first
on November 21, 1967, and a second time on February 9, 2011, coincidentally two
months after the Stroud letter was revealed in Ernest’s self published version
of The Girl on the Stairs. The second
version was unsigned without corrections, with
a somewhat different form of "Top Secret" on it. Ernest also
wished to examine the official stenographer’s tape. Ernest put in a formal
request to see the tape. Three weeks later, Ernest received a reply from the
National Archives, in which they indicated the tape could not be located. [41]
A Criticism of Ernest
One sentence in the
book seemed totally out of place in a book that could be seen an exoneration of
Oswald for being one of the persons shooting at the president: “And the first
thought that hit me was why, why in the
world would Oswald wait until the presidential limousine turned the corner on
Elm to shoot his victim?” [42] After ostensibly showing that Oswald was not on
the sixth floor, but in the lunchroom, why then put him back there? It would
have been more responsible to have used “a potential shooter” rather than
“Oswald”.
What Does Ernest’s Book
Tell us?
The immediate point
that is made is that Lee Harvey Oswald was most likely on either the first or
second floor of the Texas School Book Depository, and thus not on the sixth
floor, at the time of the assassination. We know this from the interviews with the
three women, Victoria Adams, Sandra Styles Butler, and Mrs. (Dorothy Ann) Garner,
together with the letter by Martha Joe Stroud sent to J. Lee Rankin, General
Counsel for the Warren Commission, on June 2, 1964.
A second point that is
made is that, at some level, changes were made in Victoria Adams testimony. Were
her testimony left as she most likely gave it, together with the statements of
the other two women, Sandra Styles and Mrs. Dorothy Ann Garner, and the Martha
Joe Stroud letter, placing the blame for the assassination on Oswald and no
other person would have been patently absurd. The unmistakable conclusion would
seem to be that persons either on the commission, but more likely, staff
members, deliberately made changes in the evidentiary material that facilitated
errors in the findings of the Commission. One likely reason for the introduced
errors was “saving the appearances”. [43] The appearances saved by the Warren
Commission were that a lone gunman was identified, there was no need to
consider a conspiracy, and all was well with our government. The truth needed
to be covered up to save these appearances. By using an advocacy approach to
their research efforts, necessarily a case was built against Oswald. American
jurisprudence relies on an adversarial process to attempt a just decision. But
the Commission did not allow an advocate for Oswald in the proceedings (Mark
Lane volunteered to be the advocate for Oswald, later writing Rush to
Judgment.) [44]
A third point that can
be made relates to the question, why would a shooter pass up a point blank
shot, such as would have been the case for a shooter in the "sniper's nest"
on the sixth floor? Ernest suggests and many others have concurred, that the
shot was passed up because a crossfire would have been a likely strategy. [45]
Instead, I would pose an entirely new question. At the time of the
assassination, were there ANY shooters on the sixth floor? How did such
shooters exit the Depository? Not only was Oswald not seen or heard on the
sixth floor at the time of the assassination nor shortly thereafter, nor was
anyone else. No one was seen or heard coming down the stairs. The possibility
is that the sniper’s nest was staged to frame a patsy. Investigating the
sniper's nest on the day of the assassination was short circuited by less than
adequate police procedures. We know that the paper bag was picked up and
handled by the police before the police photographers had a chance to
photograph it as it was when the police arrived. The police failed to wait until Lt. Carl Day
could take photographs of the undisturbed area near the window on the sixth
floor. A photograph was then taken on November 25, 1963 of the reconstructed
sniper's nest area. [46]
