The following is the text of the signed and notarized statement of
James Earl Jarman, Jr. This statement was
made on 11-23-63. The punchline comes in the last couple of sentences.

QUOTE

I work for the Texas School Book Depository, 411 Elm Street, as a
Checker on the first floor for Mr. Roy S. Truly. On Friday, Novemeber
22, 1963, I got to work at 8:05a.m. The first time I saw Lee Oswald on
Friday, November 22, 1963 was about 8:15 a.m. He was filling orders on
the first floor. A little after 9:00a.m. Lee Oswald asked me what all
the people were doing standing on the street. I told him that the
President was supposed to come this way sometime this morning. He
asked
me, "Which way do you think he is coming?". I told him that the
President would probably come down Main Street and turn on Houston and
then go down Elm Street. He said, "Yes, I see." I only talked with him
for about three or four minutes. The last time I saw Lee Oswald on
Friday, November 22, 1963 was between 11:30a.m. and 12:00 noon when he
was taking the elevator upstairs to get some boxes. At about 11:45a.m.
all of the employees who were working on the 6th floor came downstairs
and we were all out on the street at about 12 o'clock noon. These
employees were: Bill Shelley, Charles Givens, Billy Lovelady, Bonnie
Ray (last name not known) and a Spanish boy (his name I cannot
remember). To my knowledge Lee Oswald was not with us while we were
watching the parade.

QUOTE OFF

The statement is signed by James Jarman and was notarized by Patsy
Collins.

Not only does Jarman fail to relate *any* of the exhilarating tale of
the fifth floor gang as it was related in testimony to the Warren
Commission, he fails to even say he was on the fifth floor...and flat
out leaves the distinct impression that he was out on the sidewalk
with
several others....."not with us while we were watching the parade".
