United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. Not him? Did he tell you of any plans made for the
transfer? Did Captain Fritz tell you of any plans made for the transfer?
Mr. FRAZIER. I don't recall, sir. He may have said--I'm not sure. I
heard this later on in the morning, I think, but I'm not sure. He
may have said then that he planned to move him around 10 the next
day. I don't recall whether he said it or some other officer said it
later on in the morning, but I did hear it. Now, I don't say whether
Captain Fritz is the one that told me or not. I don't recall the exact
conversation there other than the fact that I had asked him if he was
handling it and he said, "No." Chief Curry was handling it.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you remember when you spoke to Mr. Newsom from the
FBI whether Mr. Newsom told you that the Dallas Sheriff's Office had
received a similar call to the one he was relating to you?
Mr. FRAZIER. No; I don't recall that. He possibly--he could have said
it, but I do not recall it, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. When the gentlemen from the sheriff's office, either Cox or
Coy, called you that was simply about when the transfer was going to
take place, is that correct?
Mr. FRAZIER. I assume that is what it was. He indicated to me that
Decker wanted to get ahold of Chief Curry and move him as soon as
possible.
Mr. HUBERT. Did that man mention to you about the receipt of any
threats such as Newsom had told you about?
Mr. FRAZIER. I believe he did.
Mr. HUBERT. That was the second threat you had received that morning?
In other words, the threat came from two sources, so far as you know.
You heard it from the FBI, and this man from the sheriff's office?
Mr. FRAZIER. Indicated----
Mr. HUBERT. Indicated that he had received a threat?
Mr. FRAZIER. I believe he did; yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you remember saying to Mr. Newsom that the plan to
transfer Oswald to the county jail might be changed in view of the
threat that he had conveyed to you?
Mr. FRAZIER. No, sir; no, sir. That wasn't any of my business, that
transfer, and I'm sure I didn't relate that to him, because I'd be
telling him something that I didn't know about, really, at that time.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you remember telling Mr. Newsom of the FBI, on the
occasion that he called you that morning around 2 or 2:30, that
Oswald's plans of transfer had been publicized primarily as a form of
cooperation with press and news agencies?
Mr. FRAZIER. No, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. You did not make that----
Mr. FRAZIER. Huh-uh.
Mr. HUBERT. You did not make that statement?
Mr. FRAZIER. I did not make any such statement.
Mr. HUBERT. Was there any planned transfer, to your knowledge?
Mr. FRAZIER. All I knew that they was supposed to move the next day,
and then perhaps later in the morning I--maybe Captain Fritz told me
that they were supposed to move him around 10 a.m., that morning.
Mr. HUBERT. That is as to time, but did you know of any plans prior to
going off duty that day as to the method, the route, and the vehicles
to be used?
