(Testimony of J. W. Fritz)

Mr. Ball.
What did he say?
Mr. Fritz.
He denied it. He said he didn't have any knowledge of the picture at all. He said someone else had made it, he didn't know a thing about it or the rifle.
Mr. Ball.
Didn't you also that same morning again ask him if he brought a sack with him to work on the morning the President was killed?
Mr. Fritz.
Well, I asked him, I believe that morning I might have asked him that. I believe I asked him about the sack.
Mr. Ball.
Without looking at your notes there let me ask you this.
Mr. Fritz.
All right.
Mr. Ball.
When you did ask him about the sack, you did ask him about it, a sack at one time bringing a sack to work that morning?
Mr. Fritz.
Yes; I did.
Mr. Ball.
And you asked him the size and shape of the sack, didn't you?
Mr. Fritz.
He never admitted bringing the sack. I showed him the size probably in asking him if he brought a sack that size and he denied it. He said he brought his lunch was all he brought.
Mr. Ball.
Didn't he say when you asked him the size and shape of the sack that he had with him, he said, "I don't recall, it may have been a small sack or a large sack. You don't always find one that fits your sandwiches," something like that.
Mr. Fritz.
That might be true but he said it was a small sack. He said it was a lunch sack.
Mr. Ball.
Didn't you ask him where he usually kept his sacks, how he carried it when he came to work in the car?
Mr. Fritz.
I asked him where he had the sack---his lunch, and he said he had it in the front seat with him.
Mr. Ball.
Did you ask him if he put any sack in the back seat?
Mr. Fritz.
He said he did not.
Mr. Ball.
Did you tell him that Frazier had told you that he had had a long parcel and placed it in the back seat?
Mr. Fritz.
I am not sure about saying Frazier, I am looking at this note to see if I did.
Mr. Ball.
The driver of the car----
Mr. Fritz.
I remember telling him that someone told me that and I might have told him that two people saw him because not only Frazier but Frazier's sister saw that package, you know, and I did question him about that.
Mr. Ball.
Did he say anything like this? "He might be mistaken or perhaps thinking about some other time when he picked me up."
Mr. Fritz.
That is probably right.
Mr. Ball.
Do you remember that?
Mr. Fritz.
I don't remember it this time but if it is in that note that is probably right.
Mr. Ball.
On the curtain rods story, do you remember whether you ever asked him if he told Frazier that he had curtain rods in the package?
Mr. Fritz.
If I asked him what, please, sir?
Mr. Ball.
Did you ever ask Oswald whether or not he had told Frazier that he had curtain rods in the package?
Mr. Fritz.
I am sure I did but I can't remember that right now. But I am sure I asked him that because I must have asked him that because I asked him a lot of questions, I asked him if he was fixing his house, I remember asking about that, and he said he was not.
Mr. Ball.
He said he was what?
Mr. Fritz.
He was not.
Mr. Ball.
He said he was not fixing it?
Mr. Fritz.
Yes.
Mr. Ball.
Do you know what he said in reply to your question?
Mr. Fritz.
No, sir; I don't remember what he said about that.
Mr. Ball.
Was he questioned about post office boxes that morning?
Mr. Fritz.
Yes, sir; I did, I asked him about those post office boxes, because the postal inspector had told us about those boxes, and Mr. Holmes did most of the talking to him about the boxes, and he knew about the boxes and where
