Mr. Ball.

Did you ever hear anybody accuse him of assassinating the President?

Mr. Rose.

No, sir; I don't believe I did.

Mr. Ball.

Did you ever hear anybody accuse him of killing Tippit?

Mr. Rose.

No; I don't believe so. Some mention might have been made of the assassination but I don't believe it was as an accusation to him. That was the only interrogation I sat in on.

Mr. Ball.

That was the only one you sat in on?

Mr. Rose.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

Do you remember anything else that was said in that interrogation?

Mr. Rose.

No, sir; that's about all I can remember. There was more said, but I don't remember what it was.

Mr. Ball.

Did you take part in any of the search of the premises?

Mr. Rose.

Let's, let's see--that was Saturday, and then Sunday, immediately after Oswald was shot, I reported for duty and I was supposed to be off and I reported on as soon as as he was shot and Captain Fritz told me to get a search warrant and go out to Jack Ruby's apartment and search it and I did.

Mr. Ball.

I believe those are all the questions I have to ask you, Mr. Rose, and this will be written up and submitted to you for your signature, if you want to read it and sign it, or if you want to, you can waive your signature--just as you wish. What do you prefer?

Mr. Rose.

Well, I don't know--will it be later?

Mr. Ball.

A couple of weeks.

Mr. Rose.

Well, if she will just call me, I will drop by anytime.

Mr. Ball.

Okay, that will be fine. We will do this. Thanks very much.

Mr. Rose.

Let's see, there was something else I was going to tell you now, I wanted to mention--we did run Wesley Frazier on the polygraph, did you know that?

Mr. Ball.

I know you did--we know about that.

Mr. Rose.

Yes.

Mr. Ball.

Thanks

W. E. Perry
