Mr. BALL. Did Hosty say?
Mr. FRITZ. I thought you meant what about Shanklin said to Hosty.
Mr. BALL. Did Hosty say to you that he knew Oswald?
Mr. FRITZ. I heard Mr. Shanklin tell Mr. Hosty on the telephone. I had
Mr. Bookhout pick up the telephone and I had an extension.
Mr. BALL. What did he hear?
Mr. FRITZ. He said is Hosty in that investigation, Bookhout said no.
He said, "I want him in that investigation right now because he knows
those people he has been talking to," and he said some other things
that I don't want to repeat, about what to do if he didn't do it right
quick. So I didn't tell them that I even knew what Mr. Shanklin said. I
walked out there and called them in.
Mr. BALL. Was Oswald handcuffed at all times during the interrogation?
Mr. FRITZ. I believe he was; yes, sir, I believe we kept him handcuffed
at all times. The first time we brought him in he was handcuffed with
his hands behind him and he was uncomfortable and I had the officers
change them and put his hands up front.
Mr. BALL. Was he fed any time during that day?
Mr. FRITZ. Yes, sir; he was. I don't remember buying him something
to eat. I usually do, if they are hard up in jail at the time I buy
something to eat but some of the other officers remember me buying him
food but the only thing he would drink was I believe some milk and ate
a little package of those crackers sandwiches and one of the other
officers bought him a cup of coffee and that is all he would either eat
or drink, that is all he wanted.
