Mr. Ball.

Did anybody say anything about what had happened, did you hear anybody say anything about the President had been shot?

Mr. Frazier.

Yes, sir; right before I went back, some girl who had walked down a little bit further where I was standing on the steps, and somebody come back and said somebody had shot President Kennedy.

Mr. Ball.

Do you know who it was who told you that?

Mr. Frazier.

Sir?

Mr. Ball.

Do you know who the girl was who told you that?

Mr. Frazier.

She didn't tell me right directly but she just came back and more or less in a low kind of hollering she just told several people.

Mr. Ball.

Then you went back into the Building, did you?

Mr. Frazier.

Right.

Mr. Ball.

And police officers came in there?

Mr. Frazier.

Yes, sir; I would say by the time, you know some of us went back in, and it wasn't just a few minutes, I say there were several.

Mr. Ball.

Did you stay on the first floor?

Mr. Frazier.

Well, stayed on the first floor there for a few minutes and I hadn't eaten my lunch so I had my lunch down there in the basement and I went down there to get my lunch and eat it and I walked back up on the first floor there.

Mr. Ball.

When you came back into the Building, you came in the front door, didn't you?

Mr. Frazier.

Right

Mr. Ball.

Did you go down to the basement immediately or did you stand around on the first floor?

Mr. Frazier.

No, sir; I stood around for several minutes there, you know, and then, you know, eventually the ones who hadn't eaten their lunch, some of them had taken their lunch outside.

Mr. Ball.

Did other people go downstairs with you?

Mr. Frazier.

No, sir; they didn't.

Mr. Ball.

You went down alone, did you?

Mr. Frazier.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

Did you go at any time in the back end of the Building back near the door to the loading dock?

Mr. Frazier.

No, sir; I never did.

Mr. Ball.

Perhaps I had better ask you to point out on the map here where you were. Come over here, please.

Mr. Frazier.

O.K.

Mr. Ball.

You came in back into the Building?

Mr. Frazier.

Right.

Mr. Ball.

Tell us where you went and what you did?

Mr. Frazier.

Well, you know like I said I come back through here [indicating on Commission Exhibit No. 362, diagram of first floor].

Mr. Ball.

By "coming back through here," you mean you came down the hallway and into the entrance into the first floor warehouse?

Mr. Frazier.

Right, and you come by Mr. Shelley's office, that is his counter right here, after you get in, you get off here, that is his office, anyway, right out, I come out around here, you know where several of the people walked around here.

Mr. Ball.

That is in the bin area?

Mr. Frazier.

No, sir; the bins don't start automatically right up in here. I say, there is a little bit more or less, like more or less a hall through here, but anyway, you know, I say, you have two or three bins.

Mr. Ball.

Through here you mean there is sort of a hall after you enter into the warehouse?

Mr. Frazier.

Right.

Mr. Ball.

Right.

Mr. Frazier.

From it, after you come past this counter you have several rows of bins coming this way, but, I say, right after you get past, say, this last bin right here running that way, right out this general area right here you have a telephone and everything out in here.

Mr. Ball.

Well, you indicated that everything that would be beyond this line, the bin lines, would be clear on the first floor.
