There is something missing from JR's play, and a significant difference between his play and lawump's.
JR's play says the runner was between 2nd and 3rd when the ball was THROWN. Lawumps says he was there when the ball went out of play. His location when the ball was THROWN matters only with respect to what the award is. His location when the ball went out of play is missing from JR's play - but is critical in that it determines whether he can or cannot return all the way to first (legally). If he's returning, and has already retouched 2nd before the ball actually makes it out of play, he CAN retouch first base.

FED: If he is on/beyond the next base from his TOP base at ther time the ball went dead he cannot return. OBR: No matter where he is, if he continues on after the ball went dead and touches whatever base is next, he cannot return, otherwise he may return. As I understand the play at hand, the runner was beyond 2B when the ball went dead. In FED he cannot return to retouch 1B. In OBR he can if he doesn't touch 3B after it went dead.

The correct rules were already stated. I was just clarifying the difference and missing info in the OP as compared with lawump's correct answer.

Given the assumption you said, it's still not always right.
