As Johnny Brewer had done, Mrs. Postal gave three different versions of what happened.
In the first version, the affidavit she gave Dallas Police dated December 4, 1963, Mrs. Postal makes no mention of a man wearing a brown shirt, only states that she saw a man duck into the 'lobby area" outside the doors as police cars were going by.
She further states that her boss, John A. Callahan, got into his car and drove down the street to see where the cruisers were going. At that time, she came out of her ticket box and looked west to see if she could see anything.
In this version, as she turned around, "Johnny Brewer, manager of Hardy's Shoe Store was standing there. As I started back in the box office, Johnny asked me if I sold 'that man' a ticket. I asked him what man? He said the man who just ducked in here. I told him no I didn't, but I had noticed him as he ducked in here." (24 H 22)
The second version comes from her FBI interview dated February 27, 1964. In this version, she tells the FBI that she is "unable to recall whether or not he bought a ticket". The report goes on to say that Brewer came to her and "asked if she observed a man run into the theater. She said she had..." (Oswald 209 file, Vol. 29, Item 28 , pg. 7)
The third version comes from her deposition given to Joseph Ball dated April 2, 1964. In this version, she again says that she told Brewer that she did not sell a ticket to the man who ducked into the lobby. (7 H 11)
So her three versions are that:
1. She didn't know what man Brewer was talking about.
2. Couldn't recall whether or not the man bought a ticket, but saw him run into the theater.
3. Did not sell him a ticket.
Needless to say, only #3 made it into the Report.
What she says next is revealing:
"Mr. Brewer said that he had been ducking in at his place of business and that he had gone by me because I was facing west." (Ibid.)
A strange comment for sure from a man who supposedly watched the "man in the window" walk 60 yards away and saw him turn right into the lobby of the theater. He never saw the man go into the lobby. He was told the man went in. When he got there, the man was gone. That's why he asked Mrs. Postal if she sold him a ticket. That's why he thought the man went by her.
Postal couldn't deal with the fact that the man had gone by her. Instead, she was convinced that the man was in the theater although she had to admit under oath that contrary to what she told the FBI, she "didn't see him actually enter the theater." (Ibid.)
Instead, she sent Burroughs and Brewer into the theater to locate the man. When they couldn't, rather than accept that the man had passed by her, she called the police.
Postal testified that she saw the man duck into the lobby at the same time her boss, John Callahan came out of the theater to drive down to see what the cops were up to. She said that they passed each other, one going into the lobby and one coming out. (Ibid.) Callahan may or may not have gotten a look at the man who passed him coming into the lobby as he left. He was there to take tickets that day (7 H 10) and whether he could identify the man who passed him or whether he took a ticket from that man will never be known.
Because Mr. Callahan was never interviewed by the Dallas Police, the Sheriff's Department or the FBI and was never called to testify.
Why not? A man who could verify that Oswald entered the theater without buying a ticket and he was never even interviewed?
Finally, Mrs. Postal was never asked straight up by the Dallas Police, the FBI or Commission Counsel if the man they had taken out of the Texas Theater (Oswald) was the same man she saw duck into the lobby as her boss left. In addition, Mrs. Postal was never asked if she had sold a ticket to that same man.
This is the Warren Commission's case against Oswald, the man who had $13.87 in his pocket at the time of the arrest, but who decided to beat the Texas Theater out of a 90-cent movie ticket. It's ridiculous.
