Mr. Ball.

And what did you do then?

Mr. Boyd.

We started to go over there and when we got downstairs, like I said, someone told Captain Fritz that Sheriff Decker wanted to see him a minute before he left, and Ave went in there and while we were in there we learned that the man that had shot Officer Tippit, we thought was the man, was on his way up to our office and Captain Fritz wanted to go by there and we carried him there.

Mr. Ball.

You were in Decker's office when you heard that a man had been arrested for the murder of Tippit?

Mr. Boyd.

Yes; we heard about Tippit getting shot when we were up on the sixth floor.

Mr. Ball.

Then, Fritz told you to go to Irving, didn't he?

Mr. Boyd.

Yes, sir; we started to Irving.

Mr. Ball.

Where were you when you heard the man had been arrested, the suspect for the murder of Tippit?

Mr. Boyd.

Well, I think we was still in the Texas Book Depository when we heard about him being arrested over there.

Mr. Ball.

Did you go to Decker's office with Fritz?

Mr. Boyd.

Yes sir.

Mr. Ball.

And then you went with Fritz up to your office?

Mr. Boyd.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

And did Fritz send somebody else out to Irving, or do you remember?

Mr. Boyd.

I think later on, I believe, he sent someone else out there.

Mr. Ball.

He told you to stay there at the police department, did he?

Mr. Boyd.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

What did you do when you got there?

Mr. Boyd.

Well, we went in and there was a good many people there---I don't recall who all was there--I know we talked to Lieutenant Baker, and he told us that the man that shot Tippit was in the interrogation room and about 5 minutes or so after we were in the office, we took Lee Harvey Oswald out of there and brought him into Captain Fritz' office and he talked to him in there.

Mr. Ball.

Tell us about what time of day that was?

Mr. Boyd.

I believe it was around 2:20 when we took him out in there; yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

And who was there in the room with Oswald at that time?

Mr. Boyd.

With Oswald at that time?

Mr. Ball.

You took Oswald into Fritz' office about 2:20?

Mr. Boyd.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

Who was there besides Oswald?

Mr. Boyd.

Well, Captain Fritz, and let me see, there was some FBI agents.

Mr. Ball.

Do you remember their names?

Mr. Boyd.

I know one came in just shortly thereafter and I remember Mr. Bookhout and Mr. Hosty came in right after Ave got in there.

Mr. Ball.

And who else was there?

Mr. Boyd.

Mr. Hall and Mr. Sims; M. G. Hall is our other partner.

Mr. Ball.

He's your other partner?

Mr. Boyd.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

And Sims was there, and was there a Secret Service man in there?

Mr. Boyd.

Let me see---I think there was a Secret Service man there, but I don't recall---I don't know what his name was.

Mr. Ball.

Do you remember what was said?

Mr. Boyd.

Well, I don't remember exactly what was said.

Mr. Ball.

Well, in general, what was the substance of what was said?

Mr. Boyd.

Well----

Mr. Ball.

Give me the substance.

Mr. Boyd.

Well, I knew Captain Fritz asked him his name.

Mr. Ball.

What did he say?

Mr. Boyd.

I think he told us his name, I think when he asked him--I'm sure his name because he would talk for a while and then he would quit.
