Mr. Dulles.

Oswald? Did you ever ask him whether he was involved or anything of that sort?

Mr. Fritz.

I don't think that I ever asked him about that. If I did, I don't remember it. I don't remember asking about that, asking him about that at all. We had a little information on it but I didn't want to mix it up in that other case and I didn't want to mix it up.

Mr. Mccloy.

I would like to go back some distance. When you first went into the building there.

Mr. Fritz.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Mccloy.

And as of your knowledge, when did the first broadcast go out of a description of Oswald, according to what information you had on the subject?

Mr. Fritz.

I wouldn't have that because I hadn't heard a broadcast of a description when I went into the building. So if one went out it probably was after I went in.

Mr. Mccloy.

When Mr. Truly told you that one of his men was missing?

Mr. Fritz.

Yes, sir; then he gave me a description of him.

Mr. Mccloy.

And he gave you a description at that time?

Mr. Fritz.

Yes; home address.

Mr. Mccloy.

That was his home address and also a description?

Mr. Fritz.

His home address and a description, what he looked like, his age, and so forth.

Mr. Mccloy.

Now that description, to whom was that description given?

Mr. Fritz.

Well, I never did give it any anyone because when I got to the office he was there.

Mr. Mccloy.

He was there when you got to the office?

Mr. Fritz.

Yes.

Mr. Mccloy.

I understand----

Mr. Fritz.

I think I could help you a minute about that description that went out over the radio but I didn't hear it. When I got to the building, some officer there told me, said we think the man who did the shooting out of the window is a tall, white man, that is all I had. That didn't mean much you know because you can't tell five or six floors up whether a man is tall or short.

Mr. Mccloy.

Did you question the colored men that were on the fifth floor?

Mr. Fritz.

I talked to part of them. Most of them were questioned by the other officers, investigating officers I had assigned there; yes, sir. I talked to very few of them. I did do this. I did assign an officer to take affidavits from all of those people.

Mr. Mccloy.

Were you present at the showup at which Brennan was the witness?

Mr. Fritz.

Brennan?

Mr. Mccloy.

Brennan was the alleged----

Mr. Fritz.

Is that the man that the Secret Service brought over there, Mr. Sorrels brought over?

Mr. Mccloy.

I don't know whether Mr. Sorrels----

Mr. Fritz.

I don't think I was present but I will tell you what, I helped Mr. Sorrels find the time that that man--we didn't show that he was shown at all on our records, but Mr. Sorrels called me and said he did show him and he wanted me to give him the time of the showup. I asked him to find out from his officers who were with Mr. Brennan the names of the people that we had there, and he gave me those two Davis sisters, and he said, when he told me that, of course, I could tell what showup it was and then I gave him the time.

Mr. Mccloy.

But you were not present to the best of your recollection when Brennan was in the showup?

Mr. Fritz.

I don't believe I was there, I doubt it.

Mr. Mccloy.

Did you ever inspect these premises on Neely Street?

Mr. Fritz.

Yes, sir; I did. With the Secret Service. We went over there and we searched that apartment thoroughly. It was vacant. The man came over that owned it, opened the house for us, we searched it thoroughly and went through the yard and made some pictures in the backyard exactly like that with another man, of course, holding the papers.
