United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. FRAZIER. No, sir; no, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. What time did you go off duty, sir?
Mr. FRAZIER. It was around 6 or 6:15, or something like that, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. What time did you come back then?
Mr. FRAZIER. If that was----
Mr. HUBERT. Did you leave the department and go home?
Mr. FRAZIER. Yes; I went home and I went to bed. I was asleep when
Oswald was shot.
Mr. HUBERT. When did you hear about that?
Mr. FRAZIER. My wife awakened me shortly thereafter. She had seen it on
TV. She was watching the transfer on TV, and she awakened me.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you go down there?
Mr. FRAZIER. No, sir; I called and asked if they needed me. They said,
"No, stay where you are. You will have to work tonight." So, I stayed
there.
Mr. HUBERT. Fritz has said--did I understand you to say, that Curry was
in charge of all transfers?
Mr. FRAZIER. Was in charge of that transfer.
Mr. HUBERT. Of that particular--of Oswald's transfer?
Mr. FRAZIER. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you know a man by the name of W. J. Harrison, I think
they call him "Blackie," a detective?
Mr. FRAZIER. Yes, sir; he is a patrolman temporarily assigned to CID.
Yes, sir; I believe he is in the juvenile bureau. I'm not sure, but I
think he is.
Mr. HUBERT. Did you ever hear him talk about his experiences on the
24th?
Mr. FRAZIER. No, sir; I haven't seen him. I haven't seen "Blackie" in,
I guess, 6 months or so, maybe longer.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you know Patrick Dean?
Mr. FRAZIER. P. T. Dean? Sergeant Dean? I know him; yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Have you spoken to him about his activities on that day?
Mr. FRAZIER. No, sir; he works on another platoon and another captain
and I don't come in contact with him very often except just to say
hello as we are going off duty or coming on and only one I confer with
is the captain in charge of the platoon coming on when I leave.
Mr. HUBERT. The radio patrol is what, actually?
Mr. FRAZIER. It is the regular squad car, two-man squad car that
patrols the entire city. We have anywhere from 185 to 205 men on duty
at most platoons. However, our day platoon is our lowest. It will run
120, 125.
Mr. HUBERT. These men are cruising areas?
Mr. FRAZIER. Yes, sir; districts.
Mr. HUBERT. And they are controlled by radio communication from your
office?
Mr. FRAZIER. No, sir; from the dispatcher's office, which is----
Mr. HUBERT. So, if you want to contact any of those people you can do
it directly, you do it through a dispatcher?
Mr. FRAZIER. Through the dispatcher; yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. When you--were you on duty when the President was shot?
Mr. FRAZIER. No, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Were you called in?
Mr. FRAZIER. No, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. You just took your regular shift at 11 o'clock that night?
Mr. FRAZIER. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. You had gotten off at 7 o'clock?
Mr. FRAZIER. 6 or 7 that morning; yes, sir.
