(Testimony of Capt. W. B. Frazier)

Mr. Frazier.
Over here?
Mr. Hubert.
Yes.
Mr. Frazier.
All right, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, I hand you another document which I have marked for-"Dallas, Tex., March 25, 1964, Exhibit 5087, deposition of W. B. Frazier." I have signed my name to the bottom of this document which purports to be a report by Special Agent Melton L. Newsom of the FBI, of a conversation which he had over the telephone with you on November 24, 1963, at about 3:20 a.m., and I'll ask you if that report by Mr. Newsom of that conversation is a correct report of that conversation?
Mr. Frazier.
No, sir; I don't believe it is.
Mr. Hubert.
Would you indicate what parts are correct and what parts are wrong?
Mr. Frazier.
Now, you are asking of my own knowledge, is that correct?
Mr. Hubert.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Frazier.
Now, this first paragraph here, I know nothing of this. Mr. Glassup. He didn't talk to me.
Mr. Hubert.
No; I think the
Mr. Frazier.
And, he received the call I understand here, and it goes into, "I represent a committee that--it is neither right nor left wing," and so forth. I didn't get all that in the conversation with Newsom, that I recall. Newsom told me that a group of men, I believe he indicated a hundred or two were going to kill Oswald the following day, the day after the night--or, you know, the next day or two. Now, that was essentially what he told me.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you say he didn't tell you that had been received by Glassup?
Mr. Frazier.
No, sir; he said they received information, or threats.
Mr. Hubert.
Nor did he give you the exact language of the threat, as indicated in that?
Mr. Frazier.
No, sir; he did not.
Mr. Hubert.
He simply told you that they had received the threat and the sense of the threat was along the lines of the paragraph, first paragraph?
Mr. Frazier.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
But, neither mentioned Glassup's name, nor did he speak the exact quoted language which--when he spoke to you?
Mr. Frazier.
That's right.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, what about the next paragraph, second paragraph?
Mr. Frazier.
Yes, sir; that is essentially correct. However, I believe he did advise the Dallas sheriff's office had received a similar call. That is essentially correct, that paragraph.
Mr. Hubert.
All right; what about the third paragraph?
Mr. Frazier.
The third paragraph, I don't recall making that statement.
Mr. Hubert.
What about the fourth paragraph?
Mr. Frazier.
Because, at that time, I did not know exactly what the plans were to move Oswald, see.
Mr. Hubert.
And what about the last paragraph?
Mr. Frazier.
No, sir; no, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
You mean to say that you do not recall?
Mr. Frazier.
No, sir; I do not recall making that statement to Mr. Newsom.
Mr. Hubert.
I would like for you to do this then with reference to that document. Just place the word, next to the last paragraph, "incorrect," and initial it.
Mr. Frazier.
All right, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Have you initialled it?
Mr. Frazier.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
All right; now, with that
Mr. Frazier.
And the top paragraph.
Mr. Hubert.
Well, the top paragraph
Mr. Frazier.
I couldn't attest to that either.
Mr. Hubert.
Please explain what your position is on it, and if you would like to sign your. name Just below mine so then we have the matter in hand.
Mr. Frazier.
Yes, sir.
