Mr. Ball. It is not your practice to ask for a plea at that stage, is it?
Mr. Fritz. No, sir; we don't.
Mr. Ball. All you do is advise him of his rights and the charge against him?
Mr. Fritz. That is right, I am not a lawyer, you might feel—I don't want to leave a bad impression, I am just telling you what we do.
Mr. Ball. What the practice is in Texas.
Mr. Fritz. Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball. Did Oswald make any reply to Judge Johnston?
Mr. Fritz. He said a lot of sarcastic things to him.
Mr. Ball. What did he say?
Mr. Fritz. Irritable. I can't remember all the things that he said. He was that way at each arraignment. He said little sarcastic things, some of the things were a little impudent things.
