United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. FRAZIER. Right.
Mr. BALL. How far is it in miles from your sister's home to Texas
School Book Depository?
Mr. FRAZIER. It is roughly around 15 miles.
Mr. BALL. And did you take the same route every day?
Mr. FRAZIER. You mean since I have been going over there; since the
first day?
Mr. BALL. That is right.
Mr. FRAZIER. Up to now?
Mr. BALL. Yes, right.
Mr. FRAZIER. No, sir; I didn't.
You see, I found two ways, you can more judge by the traffic and you
can go some days one way and the traffic will be easier than others,
but most times I use just one route.
Mr. BALL. What route did you usually use?
Mr. FRAZIER. Used one like you go down from the house there.
Mr. BALL. Yes.
Mr. FRAZIER. Go down and right Storey Road, see Fifth Street is just
one block off Storey Road, and just go down and hit Storey Road and
stay on it until you come to Stemmons Freeway and you stay right on
Stemmons until you come right on into Dallas there.
Mr. BALL. About what length of time does it take you to go from your
sister's home to work in the morning?
Mr. FRAZIER. Usually, I usually leave not any later than 7:25. I
usually try to leave about 7:20, and if you leave at 7:20, you usually
get around there, by the time you get down to the parking lot now it is
usually pretty close to 5 minutes to 8 and that gives you enough time
to walk to the Book Depository, put up your lunch and take off your
coat.
Mr. BALL. Did you have a place to park your car?
Mr. FRAZIER. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Was it assigned to you by Mr. Truly?
Mr. FRAZIER. No, sir; he just said we had a parking lot there and
showed me where it was and said you can park in the parking lot.
Mr. BALL. Was that the parking lot two or three blocks from the
building.
Mr. FRAZIER. Yes, sir, it is down there; right across from the
warehouse there.
Mr. BALL. Then you would walk from there from that parking lot----
Mr. FRAZIER. Up to the other Depository up there at the corner of
Houston and Main.
Mr. BALL. We have here a map which has been marked as Commission's
Exhibit No. 361.
Mr. FRAZIER. I see.
Mr. BALL. And north is to the bottom of the map.
Mr. FRAZIER. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Instead of the top, as usually the case.
Mr. FRAZIER. Right.
Mr. BALL. It has two pictures over here, one to the left and one to the
right of the map.
Mr. FRAZIER. Right.
Mr. BALL. Let's take a look at the picture to the right of the map. Do
you recognize that area?
Mr. FRAZIER. Yes, sir; I do.
Mr. BALL. What is it?
Mr. FRAZIER. I see that is right there where you say that is the street
going up to the parking lot there.
Mr. BALL. Do you recognize this car?
Mr. FRAZIER. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. What car is that?
Mr. FRAZIER. That is my car.
Mr. BALL. Is that where you usually park every day?
Mr. FRAZIER. Well, I would say at the time being when I first started
to work there I first started to park there but now I park on the other
side of the fence there.
Mr. BALL. But that is a picture of the parking lot, is it?
