(Testimony of Guy F. Rose)

Mr. Ball.
Did you talk to Lee Oswald any more during that day except the time you mentioned?
Mr. Rose.
No, sir; I didn't.
Mr. Ball.
Were you present at any time that anyone questioned him?
Mr. Rose.
Not that day. I was the next day, on Saturday--I was present when Captain Fritz talked to him.
Mr. Ball.
On Saturday morning you went out to Irving again?
Mr. Rose.
Yes, sir; I did.
Mr. Ball.
At this time you had a search warrant?
Mr. Rose.
Yes, sir; I did.
Mr. Ball.
What did you search on this day?
Mr. Rose.
We made a search of the garage, mainly, on this day since quite a bit of Lee Oswald's property was in the garage.
Mr. Ball.
What did you find there?
Mr. Rose.
Well, I found two sea bags, three suitcases, and two cardboard boxes and all of them contained numerous items of property of Oswald.
Mr. Ball.
Did you find some pictures?
Mr. Rose.
Yes; I found two negatives first that showed Lee Oswald holding a rifle in his hand, wearing a pistol at his hip, and right with those negatives I found a developed picture--I don't know what you call it, but anyway a picture that had been developed from the negative of him holding this rifle, and Detective McCabe was standing there and he found the other picture--of Oswald holding the rifle.
Mr. Ball.
What color were the sea bags?
Mr. Rose.
I believe they were kind of an off white--I would call them--more of a greyish-white.
Mr. Ball.
What about the suitcases?
Mr. Rose.
I don't remember the color of those suitcases. I know one of them was real worn.
Mr. Ball.
But you brought that property back here into town, did you?
Mr. Rose.
Yes; we did.
Mr. Ball.
Now, you say you sat in on the interrogation of Oswald later that day?
Mr. Rose.
Yes; we did.
Mr. Ball.
Now, you say you sat in on the interrogation of Oswald later that day?
Mr. Rose.
On Saturday evening--that Saturday evening.
Mr. Ball.
What time?
Mr. Rose.
I don't remember--it was late--it seemed like it was around 9 or 10 o'clock, I don't remember.
Mr. Ball.
Who was present?
Mr. Rose.
Well, Captain Fritz, Detective Sims, and myself--I don't remember--there was an FBI agent and a Secret Service agent there, but I don't remember their names.
Mr. Ball.
Do you remember what was said?
Mr. Rose.
Do I remember what was said?
Mr. Ball.
That this took place in Captain Fritz' office?
Mr. Rose.
In Captain Fritz' office--yes. Well, the occasion was--I got back to the office and I took this small picture of Oswald holding the rifle, and left the rest of them with the Captain and I took one up to the I.D. bureau and had them to make me an enlargement of it, and they made an almost 8" by 10" enlargement of this picture and I brought it back to the captain and Oswald was brought in and the captain showed him this picture, and Oswald apparently got pretty upset when he saw the picture and at first he said, "Well, that's just a fake, because somebody has superimposed my face on that picture." Then, the captain said, "Well, is that you face on the picture?"
And he said, "I won't even admit that. That is not even my face." I remember that part of it distinctly.
I remember him volunteering some information about when he was in Russia.
Mr. Ball.
What did he say?
Mr. Rose.
Well, he talked about how life was better for the colored people in Russia than it was in the United States. I don't remember--he just rambled on--he liked to talk about that, but he wouldn't talk about anything to do with the assassination or the killing of Tippit.
