Mr. SIMS. Captain Fritz. Mr. BALL. Did anyone else ask him questions? Mr. SIMS. Well, I don't know if they did or not. Mr. BALL. Did you ask him any questions? Mr. SIMS. No, sir. Mr. BALL. Well---- Mr. SIMS. Not at this time here, I didn't but I talked to him later on that evening. Mr. BALL. But you didn't ask him any questions at the time you were there then? Mr. SIMS. No, sir; I never did actually do any interrogation myself then. Mr. BALL. Was he handcuffed at that time? Mr. SIMS. I don't remember if he was or not. Mr. BALL. Wasn't he handcuffed with his handcuffs behind his back, and didn't he ask to be more comfortable? Mr. SIMS. I don't remember. Mr. BALL. Do you remember any incident where Oswald said he would be more comfortable if he could get his hands from behind his back, or something of that sort? Mr. SIMS. No, sir; I don't. Mr. BALL. Do you remember changing his handcuffs at any time so that he could put his hands in front of him. Mr. SIMS. Of course, when he took the paraffin cast of his hands, he wasn't handcuffed? Mr. BALL. But that was late that evening? Mr. SIMS. Yes; it was around--it was after dark, I believe. Mr. BALL. Now, I'm talking about--only about the interrogation that commenced about 2:20 in the afternoon of November 22. Mr. SIMS. I just don't remember. Mr. BALL. You don't remember changing the handcuffs? Mr. SIMS. No, sir; I don't. Mr. BALL. How long was he in Captain Fritz' office? Mr. SIMS. Well, let's see, we first went in there at 2 and we stayed in there evidently--this says here that the Secret Service and the FBI took part in the interrogation of Oswald with Captain Fritz, and we took him down to the first showup at 4:05. Mr. BALL. Then, would you say he was in Captain Fritz' office from about 2:20 until 4 o'clock? Mr. SIMS. Well, he had to be either in Captain Fritz' office or the interrogation room--that's the only two places that he was kept. Mr. BALL. All right, do you have any memory of how long he was in Captain Fritz' office the first time for the interrogation? Mr. SIMS. No, sir; I don't recall if he stayed in there from 2:20 until showup time at 4:05 or not. He may have stayed in there all that time or he may have been put back in the interrogation room, which is right next door. Mr. BALL. Where is the interrogation room from Captain Fritz' office? Mr. SIMS. It's in the same office, but just a different room--there's just a hall separating them. Mr. BALL. And in the interrogation room, were you with Oswald? Mr. SIMS. Yes, sir. Mr. BALL. You and Boyd? Mr. SIMS. Yes, sir. Mr. BALL. When he was in the interrogation room for the first showup, did you ask him any questions? Mr. SIMS. Yes; we talked to him. Mr. BALL. Do you remember what you said to him? Mr. SIMS. No, sir; I don't remember--it was just--I know I asked him about his--later on I asked him about his life in Russia and about him being in the service and things of that nature.
