Mr. SORRELS. From the elevator operator.
In other words, you are not permitted to carry a gun inside the jail.
Mr. HUBERT. You saw him again later that day?
Mr. SORRELS. Yes, sir; I did.
Mr. HUBERT. Can you tell us what time, under what circumstances, where,
who was present, and so forth?
Mr. SORRELS. I do not remember just exactly the time, but it was some
time after that when Jack Ruby was brought to Captain Fritz’ office,
and Captain Fritz questioned him. I was present at that time and heard
Captain Fritz interrogate him and made some notes and wrote them up.
And I also at that time asked him a few questions myself, on some
points I wanted to clarify.
Mr. HUBERT. Were you there from the beginning of the interview between
Ruby and Fritz, or did you arrive when it was already going on?
Mr. SORRELS. No; I was there at the beginning, because I heard Captain
Fritz tell him of course he did not have to make a statement and so on
and so forth, and Ruby said, “Well, I will answer your questions, but
some of them I may not want to answer, and I will tell you so.”
Mr. HUBERT. Were you introduced to him?
Mr. SORRELS. No; I had talked to him up in the jail there.
Mr. HUBERT. Were you present during the entire interview?
Mr. SORRELS. As I recall it, I was, on that one interview.
Mr. HUBERT. Can you tell us who else was present?
Mr. SORRELS. No; I do not recall who else was there.
As I recall, there was other officers there in the room with Captain
Fritz, but I do not recall who.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, you say you had made notes as Captain Fritz was
interrogating him. Do you have those notes?
Mr. SORRELS. Yes; I have the notes here.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you have notes also of the first interview?
Mr. SORRELS. Yes; I read some of the stuff awhile ago from those notes.
Mr. HUBERT. Is there any reason of security or otherwise why we could
not get photostats of them for the record?
Mr. SORRELS. Not that I know of.
They may not mean much to anyone else, because it is just something
jotted down to refresh my memory. They are not in very good order, or
anything like that. And I don’t know whether it would mean too much to
anyone else.
