Mr. HUBERT. Do you know how many officers or detectives were in Fritz’
office after Ruby had shot Oswald and had been brought up to Fritz’
office?
Mr. SORRELS. No, I don’t. There was a number of them around there.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you have any recollection that Dean was taken to escort
you up to Captain Fritz’ office?
Mr. SORRELS. Yes, I remember Dean went up the elevator with me.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you remember any comment that Dean made in Wade’s office?
Mr. SORRELS. The only comment that I can remember that he made is
when Mr. Wade asked me if certain things were said by Ruby when I was
talking to him in the jail on the morning of November 24, when Dean
was there, and I told him no, that that statement was not made in my
presence, I did not recall any statement like that. And Dean said,
“Well, maybe it was, after you left.” And I said, “Well, if it was--if
the statement was made, it would have had to be after I left, because I
don’t recall any statement like that.”
Mr. HUBERT. Did you ever find out how Wade or Curry or the police found
out about what Dean ultimately said?
Mr. SORRELS. Will you read that question again?
Mr. HUBERT. I said, did you ever find out how Wade and/or the police
found out themselves what Dean ultimately testified to?
Mr. SORRELS. No, I don’t know anything about that--unless it is in the
court records down there in his testimony at the trial. Now, whether or
not they had talked to him before what his testimony would be, I could
not say about that, I don’t know.
Mr. HUBERT. Did Wade or anyone else ever ask you to identify the two
uniformed officers?
Mr. SORRELS. No.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you ever consult with any of your superior officers in
your own service in regard to Wade’s request that you testify?
Mr. SORRELS. I told Inspector Kelley that I might get involved in this
thing, and he said, “Well, if you are subpenaed you will just have to
testify what you know about it.”
Mr. HUBERT. You didn’t make a written report?
Mr. SORRELS. No, sir; not that I recall.
Mr. HUBERT. Was FBI Agent Hall present during the Fritz’ interview?
Mr. SORRELS. I couldn’t say. I don’t think I know Agent Hall if he
walked in the door. I don’t recall ever having met him.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you ever hear Ruby say, “You all won’t believe this,
but I didn’t have this planned, and I couldn’t have done it better if I
had planned it,” or something to that effect?
Mr. SORRELS. No.
