Mr. Ball. Before he is questioned you must warn him?
Mr. Fritz. Yes.
Mr. Ball. Before you questioned Oswald the first time, did you warn him?
Mr Fritz. Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball. What did you tell him? What were the words you used?
Mr. Fritz. I told him that any evidence that he gave me would be used against him, and the offense for which the statement was made, that it would have to be voluntary, made of his own accord.
Mr. Bill. Did he reply to that?
Mr. Fritz. He told me that he didn't want a lawyer and he told me once or twice that he didn't want to answer any questions at all. And once or twice he did quit answering any questions and he told me he did want to talk to his attorney, and I told him each time he didn't have to if he didn't want to. So, later he sometimes would start talking to me again.
Mr. Ball. Do you remember when you warned him again?
Mr. Fritz. Yes, sir; I warned him two or three different times; yes, sir.
