(Testimony of Buell Wesley Frazier)
Mr. Ball.
When you stood out on the front looking at the parade, where was Shelley standing and where was Lovelady standing with reference to you?
Mr. Frazier.
Well, see, I was standing, like I say, one step down from the top, and Mr. Shelley was standing, you know, back from the top step and over toward the side of the wall there. See, he was standing right over there, and then Billy was a couple of steps down from me over toward more the wall also.
Mr. Ball.
Usually when Lee walked in the Building in the morning, when you came to work with him where did he go, do you know?
Mr. Frazier.
No, sir. He just walked in, say, like inside the Building, and like I say I always went and put my lunch up and hang my jacket or coat up, whichever I wore, and he was usually around there on the first floor there after some of them put their lunch in the refrigerator, so far as that I never paid too much attention to what he usually did.
Mr. Ball.
You usually walked in together?
Mr. Frazier.
That is right, sir.
Mr. Ball.
And you separated after you got in there?
Mr. Frazier.
Yes; after we got into the interior I just went and put my lunch up.
Mr. Ball.
Did you notice where Lee kept his lunch?
Mr. Frazier.
No, sir; I didn't.
Mr. Ball.
Did you ever see him come into the Building on other days than the days that he rode with you?
Mr. Frazier.
You mean did I ever see him come in the Building when he rode with me?
Mr. Ball.
Yes.
Mr. Frazier.
Yes, sir; because when he rode with me we always walked together.
Mr. Ball.
No; other than when he rode with you.
Mr. Frazier.
Oh, other than when he rode with me. No, sir; I didn't.
The Chairman.
Did he have any particular associates around there that you knew of?
Mr. Frazier.
Not that I knew of. I say he didn't mingle with other guys like the rest of us. The rest of us usually joked back and forth with practically everybody who worked around there. But he usually kept to himself, that was the only time he talked to anybody was when he wanted to know something about a book or something like that.
Mr. Ball.
We have got a picture taken the day of the parade and it shows the President's car going by.
Now, take a look at that picture. Can you see your picture any place there?
Mr. Frazier.
No, sir; I don't, because I was back up in this more or less black area here.
Mr. Ball.
I see.
Mr. Frazier.
Because Billy, like I say, is two or three steps down in front of me.
Mr. Ball.
Do you recognize this fellow?
Mr. Frazier.
That is Billy, that is Billy Lovelady.
Mr. Ball.
Billy?
Mr. Frazier.
Right
Mr. Ball.
Let's take a marker and make an arrow down that way. That mark is Billy Lovelady?
Mr. Frazier.
Right.
Mr. Ball.
That is where you told us you were standing a moment ago.
Mr. Frazier.
Right.
Mr. Ball.
In front of you to the right over to the wall?
Mr. Frazier.
Yes.
Mr. Ball.
Is this a Commission exhibit?
We will make this a Commission Exhibit No. 369.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 369 for identification.)
Mr. Ball.
That is written in. The arrow marks Billy Lovelady on Commission's Exhibit No. 369.
