Mr. Fritz. No sir; I didn't make a note of it at the time.
Mr. Ball. When you heard of this what did you do?
Mr. Fritz. Immediately left, and I told the two officers with me, Mr. Sims and Boyd that we would run to our police car that was parked nearby, listened to radio call to see whether it was a hoax or whether it was the truth. It was only 10 minutes' time for the President's arrival, we didn't want to leave unless this was a genuine call, and a true call.
When we got to the radio, of course, we began to get other news. We went to Parkland Hospital as we had been instructed, and as we drove up in front of the hospital, we I suppose intercepted the chief, Chief Curry, between the curb and the hospital, and I told him we had had a call to the hospital but I felt we were going to the wrong place, we should go to the scene of the crime and he said, "Well, go ahead," so I don't think our car ever quit rolling but we went right to the scene of the crime.
Mr. Ball. Did you go directly to a building?
Mr. Fritz. Directly to the Texas School Book Depository Building.
Mr. Ball. What time did you arrive there?
Mr. Fritz. Well, sir; we arrived there—we arrived at the hospital at 12:45, if you want that time, and at the scene of the offense at 12:58.
Mr. Ball. 12:58; the Texas School Book Depository Building.
Mr. Fritz. Yes.
