(Testimony of Buell Wesley Frazier)
Mr. Frazier.
And so other than that he told me that he had been through there.
Mr. Ball.
Did he say he had been to Russia?
Mr. Frazier.
He said, you know, like I say, he said he had been over there and he said he had been there so I thought when he told me, yes; he had, so I thought maybe, you know, by being, I know he told me had been in service and I thought maybe that is how he got in.
Mr. Ball.
In other words, your answer is yes; he did tell you he had been in Russia?
Mr. Frazier.
Right.
Mr. Ball.
Did he go into detail and tell you how he got there and what he did there?
Mr. Frazier.
No, he didn't. I, to be frank with you I, was more interested about France and Germany and I asked him about them towns and he told me he liked France, I mean he said not that he didn't like France, he said People in France was more the kind to con the United States boys out of their money and he was in Germany there 2 or 3 days and he said he liked Germany better than France because that is one reason. Because he said if you didn't really know how to count that French money them French guys would really take you.
Mr. Ball.
Did he say anything about being in the Marines?
Mr. Frazier.
Yes; he told me he was a Marine.
Mr. Ball.

Mr. Frazier.
No, sir; he didn't say he had been to Japan.

Mr. Ball.
Did he ever talk much about his wife?

Mr. Ball.
At the Texas School Book Depository, you have lunch, 45-minute lunch hour, don't you?
Mr. Frazier.
Right.
Mr. Ball.
Did you pack your lunch from home?

Do you remember whether or not when Oswald came back with you on any Monday morning or any weekend did he pack his lunch?
Mr. Frazier.
Yes, sir; he did.

Mr. Frazier.
Yes, sir. When he rode with me, I say he always brought lunch except that one day on November 22 he didn't bring his lunch that day.
Mr. Ball.
But every other day he brought a lunch?
Mr. Frazier.
Right, when he rode with me.
Mr. Ball.
Would he bring it in a paper sack or what kind of a container?
Mr. Frazier.
Yes, sir; like a little paper sack you get out of a grocery store, you have seen these little old sacks that you could buy, sandwich bag, sack.
Mr. Ball.
Did you carry your lunch in a paper sack?
Mr. Frazier.
Yes, sir; I did.
