Warren Commission (07 of 26): Hearings Vol. VII (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. STOVALL. Into the Forgery Bureau--we took them from the Homicide
Bureau into the Forgery Bureau because they had room in there where we
could leave them.
Mr. BALL. What did you do the rest of that day?
Mr. STOVALL. After that we went--we called on the phone--Rose
did--trying to find this Wesley Frazier, who was this Mrs. Randle's
brother to talk to him about this package that his sister said Oswald
had put in his car that morning. Rose checked around and finally
located him at a clinic in Irving. He called and found out where
Wesley Frazier was--he called the Irving Police Department and talked
to Detective McCabe out there and told him what the situation was
and McCabe told us to call him back later and he would see if he
couldn't get ahold of him out there and so we called him back in 15
or 20 minutes, I guess, and he said that he had the boy at the Police
Department out there.
Mr. BALL. You went out there and talked to him?
Mr. STOVALL. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. And you also searched their home, didn't you?
Mr. STOVALL. Yes, we did.
Mr. BALL. And then you brought Linnie Randle and Wesley Frazier into
Dallas and took statements from them?
Mr. STOVALL. Yes, sir; we didn't take the affidavits from them, but I
don't recall who did, but after the affidavits were taken, we started
back to Irving with them, they also had a minister from their church
with them, I believe. We started back to Irving and we got about
halfway, I guess, and they called us on the radio to return to the
station with the witnesses and we came back and Rose called the captain
from the basement phone down there and he said he wanted to take Wesley
Frazier up and run him on the polygraph, and he agreed to this and so
we took him up there, and we didn't have a man on the polygraph at that
time. I think he left around 9 o'clock and so we called him on the
phone and he came back down and got there around 11:15 or 11:30.
Mr. BALL. And it was about 12:10 when you ran the polygraph on Frazier,
wasn't it?
Mr. STOVALL. No, sir; it was about 12:10 when we finished, I think,
when he finished running it.
Mr. BALL. About 12:10 when you finished the polygraph on Frazier?
Mr. STOVALL. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Then, what did you do?
Mr. STOVALL. Then, we went back down to the basement. We had left
Frazier's sister and the minister down in the basement, as well as I
remember. And we took him back down there and then we went on back out
to Irving and left them.
Mr. BALL. When you took the polygraph, you were present during the
polygraph examination of Frazier, were you?
Mr. STOVALL. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. And during this examination, did you have before you the
affidavit which Frazier had made?
Mr. STOVALL. No, sir; I didn't.
Mr. BALL. You didn't at that time?
Mr. STOVALL. No, sir.
Mr. BALL. Who did the questioning?
Mr. STOVALL. R. D. Lewis, he's the polygraph operator.
