(Testimony of Elmer L. Boyd)

Mr. Boyd.
No, sir; I didn't.
Mr. Ball.
What did you do after that showup?
Mr. Boyd.
I took him back---I took Lee Oswald back to Captain Fritz' office.
Mr. Ball.
What time did you get him back there?
Mr. Boyd.
Well, we left in there, I think it was 4:20---I believe---yes; that was by my watch. I was just going by my watch; it could have been off.
Mr. Ball.
Who was present at that interrogation?
Mr. Boyd.
Well, let me see I don't recall who was up there---I think there was an FBI agent and I think a Secret Service man was up there and I don't recall the names of the ones that was there.
Mr. Ball.
Was there only one FBI agent at that interrogation?
Mr. Boyd.
Well, it seems like that's all there was up there---just one. I think another one came in---now, I never did know---there was another one that came in--now, I never did know---then there was another one that came in, but I didn't ever know if he was Secret Service or an FBI man---I never did know. But someone---I believe, called him back out right after he got in there, but I'm not sure.
Mr. Ball.
Do you know the names of the FBI agents?
Mr. Boyd.
No, sir.
Mr. Ball.
How about the Secret Service?
Mr. Boyd.
I don't know their names.
Mr. Ball.
Was there a Secret Service man there?
Mr. Boyd.
I think there was a Secret Service man there.
Mr. Ball.
More than one?
Mr. Boyd.
Just one.
Mr. Ball.
Do you know his name?
Mr. Boyd.
Let me see if I have it here.
Mr. Ball.
Was Kelley there?
Mr. Boyd.
Mr. Kelley was there at one interrogation.
Mr. Ball.
How long did this one last that started at 4:20?
Mr. Boyd.
Let me see---I don't know, but at 6:20 we took him back downstairs for another showup.
Mr. Ball.
Do you think it lasted 2 hours, the interrogation in Fritz' office?
Mr. Boyd.
Well, no, sir; I don't think they were in there that long.
Mr. Ball.
Did you feed Oswald at any time?
Mr. Boyd.
Mr. Hall--I don't know--I believe someone asked him if he wanted anything and he said he didn't. Mr. Hall finally gave him a cup of coffee he finally took a cup of coffee from Mr. Hall--I don't recall just exactly the time--that's M. G. Hall.
Mr. Ball.
He's one of your partners?
Mr. Boyd.
Yes, sir [spelling] H-a-l-l, and I think--let me see---I know that he gave him a cup of coffee.
Mr. Ball.
Well, from the time that you first took Oswald into your custody after 2:15 or so, you said, until you put him in jail that night about 12:20, or 12:30, did he have anything to eat?
Mr. Boyd.
I don't believe so because he said he didn't want anything.
Mr. Ball.
Did you eat?
Mr. Boyd.
I ate real late that night--I don't remember Just what time it was.
Mr. Ball.
How late?
Mr. Boyd.
I think I ate around 9 o'clock--I'm not sure about that--it could have been 10.
Mr. Ball.
Now, in this interrogation that started about 4:20, do you remember what was said?
Mr. Boyd.
No, sir; I sure don't.
Mr. Ball.
Was Oswald handcuffed?
Mr. Boyd.
Yes, sir; I think he was handcuffed.
Mr. Ball.
Were the handcuffs in front or behind?
Mr. Boyd.
They were in front of him, I believe, still.
Mr. Ball.
Do you remember anything that took place at that interrogation--- anything that was said?
Mr. Boyd.
No, sir-- I sure don't.
Mr. Ball.
Now, at 6:20 there was another showup?
