Mr. Hubert.

Now, when you left, who left with you?

Mr. Sorrels.

As I recall, I went by myself, because when I got the information about his background, as I related here, and got his correct name and the information that he was operating alone on this thing, that no one else was involved with him, and he did not know Oswald, I then left in order to telephone that information to my headquarters in Washington.

Mr. Hubert.

Can you state positively, therefore, to us that when you left Dean was in the room?

Mr. Sorrels.

I think he must. have been, because, as I recall it, I went down on the elevator by myself with the elevator operator.

Mr. Hubert.

And Dean was in the room at all times you were talking to him?

Mr. Sorrels.

As far as I know.

Mr. Hubert.

He did not leave with you?

Mr. Sorrels.

No, sir; he did not.

Mr. Hubert.

The two other officers who were in uniform I think you said, who were in the room at first, they were there all the time too?

Mr. Sorrels.

As far as I know; yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

They did not leave when you left? No, sir.

Mr. Sorrels.

And if anybody else came in afterwards, they did not leave when you left?

Mr. Sorrels.

Not that I recall.
As I recall it, I think I went down alone, just the elevator operator and myself. Of course he had my sidearm. I had to get my sidearm from him. If there was anyone else there, I didn't know.

Mr. Hubert.

You had to get your sidearm----

Mr. Sorrels.

From the elevator operator.
In other words, you are not permitted to carry a gun inside the jail.

Mr. Hubert.

You saw him again later that day?

Mr. Sorrels.

Yes, sir; I did.

Mr. Hubert.

Can you tell us what time, under what circumstances, where, who was present, and so forth?

Mr. Sorrels.

I do not remember just exactly the time, but it was some time after that when Jack Ruby was brought to Captain Fritz' office, and Captain Fritz questioned him. I was present at that time and heard Captain Fritz interrogate him and made some notes and wrote them up. And I also at that time asked him a few questions myself, on some points I wanted to clarify.

Mr. Hubert.

Were you there from the beginning of the interview between Ruby and Fritz, or did you arrive when it was already going on?

Mr. Sorrels.

No; I was there at the beginning, because I heard Captain Fritz tell him of course he did not have to make a statement and so on and so forth, and Ruby said, "Well, I will answer your questions, but some of them I may not want to answer, and I will tell you so."

Mr. Hubert.

Were you introduced to him?

Mr. Sorrels.

No; I had talked to him up in the jail there.

Mr. Hubert.

Were you present during the entire interview?

Mr. Sorrels.

As I recall it, I was, on that one interview.

Mr. Hubert.

Can you tell us who else was present?

Mr. Sorrels.

No; I do not recall who else was there.
As I recall, there was other officers there in the room with Captain Fritz, but I do not recall who.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, you say you had made notes as Captain Fritz was interrogating him. Do you have those notes?

Mr. Sorrels.

Yes; I have the notes here.

Mr. Hubert.

Do you have notes also of the first interview?

Mr. Sorrels.

Yes. I read some of the stuff awhile ago from those notes.

Mr. Hubert.

Is there any reason of security or otherwise why we could not get photostats of them for the record?

Mr. Sorrels.

Not that I know of.
They may not mean much to anyone else, because it is just something jotted down to refresh my memory. They are not in very good order, or anything like that. And I don't know whether it would mean too much to anyone else.
