I don't know when I would leave, I suppose Mr. Bookhout and Mr. Hosty asked him a few questions, but I don't believe they questioned him a great deal while I was gone.
Mr. Ball. You said just a few minutes, what did you mean by that, 15, 20, 25?
Mr. Fritz. It would be pretty hard to guess at a time like that because we weren't even quitting for lunch so I don't even know, time didn't mean much right at that time. For a few minutes, you would think 30 or 40 minutes the first time.
Mr. Ball. Thirty or forty minutes?
Mr. Fritz. I am guessing at that time.
Mr. Ball. He hadn't been searched up to that time, had he?
Mr. Fritz. Yes, sir; he had been searched.
Mr. Ball. Wasn't he searched later in the jail office?
Mr. Fritz. He was searched, the officers who arrested him made the first search, I am sure. He had another search at the building and I believe that one of my officers, Mr. Boyd, found some cartridges in his pocket in the room after he came to the city hall. I can't tell you the exact time when he searched him.
Mr. Bail. You don't have the record of the time when he was searched?
