As he was being removed from the office, I told Captain Fritz that I would like to talk to this man when an opportunity was afforded, and he remarked “You can talk to him right now--just go right around the corner there by the side of the office,” which I did. Oswald was brought around and was seated there. There were a number of other officers present, detectives, I think possibly some FBI agents, and maybe some of my agents had come in in the meantime. I started to---- Mr. HUBERT. Before you go into that, would you tell us about the security measures that you observed with reference to protecting the person of Oswald from the time you first saw him, say up until the time you have reached now. Mr. SORRELS. As far as I know, there was no one except authorized officers in that particular area at that time. I did not see anyone that I recognized to be other than an officer. Mr. HUBERT. No news people in the corridor of the third floor? Mr. SORRELS. I am talking about inside the office now. In the corridor, that was an entirely different situation because there were cameras set up, tripods, still photographers, photographers with cameras in their hands, and newspapermen in large numbers in the hallways. Mr. HUBERT. Well, now, for example, when Captain Fritz afforded you an opportunity to speak to Oswald and indicated that you could do so at a little office around the corner, did that mean that you had to pass Oswald out of Fritz’ office, and through this third floor corridor, where all the newsmen were gathered? Mr. SORRELS. No, sir. Mr. HUBERT. That was still within Fritz’ office? Mr. SORRELS. Yes, sir; in other words, there was an office there, and Captain Fritz had an office built within that office--just merely to take him out of the door and right around the corner of his inside office there. Mr. HUBERT. Then you did interview Oswald. Mr. SORRELS. I talked to him, started asking him questions, and he was belligerent and arrogant in his attitude and he said to me, “I don’t know who you fellows are, a bunch of cops.” Mr. HUBERT. How long did you speak to him? Mr. SORRELS. Not very long. Mr. HUBERT. In point of time. Mr. SORRELS. Not over--I don’t think over 10 minutes at the most. Mr. HUBERT. Do you know what happened to him after that? Mr. SORRELS. As far as I know, he was taken back to the jail. Mr. HUBERT. Now, taking him back to the jail would involve passing him out of Fritz’ office, through the corridor, and to the jail elevator, is that correct? Mr. SORRELS. That is correct; yes, sir. Mr. HUBERT. Can you tell us what security precautions you observed with reference to his person after he was out of Fritz’ office? Mr. SORRELS. They of course had him handcuffed when they removed him, and several detectives accompanied him as they left out, in front--someone went ahead. And as I recall it there was at least one on the side, and then some brought up the rear. Mr. HUBERT. You did not go up to the jail?
