Mr. Fritz. He told me that was the transfer the busdriver had given him when he caught the bus to go home. But he had told me if you will remember in our previous conversation that he rode the bus or on North Beckley and had walked home but in the meantime, sometime had told me about him riding a cab.
So, when I asked him about a cab ride if he had ridden in a cab he said yes, he had, he told me wrong about the bus, he had rode a cab. He said the reason he changed, that he rode the bus for a short distance, and the crowd was so heavy and traffic was so bad that he got out and caught a cab, and I asked him some other questions about the cab and I asked him what happened there when he caught the cab and he said there was a lady trying to catch a cab and he told the busdriver, the busdriver told him to tell the lady to catch the cab behind him and he said he rode that cab over near his home, he rode home in a cab.
I asked him how much the cabfare was, he said 85 cents.
Mr. Ball. Did you ask him if he went directly to his home?
Mr. Fritz. Yes, sir; he said he went straight home.
Mr. Ball. Didn't you learn from the cabdriver that he hadn't taken him to 1026 North Beckley?
Mr. Fritz. I knew he had taken him near there but I am telling you what he told me, he told me he had taken him home.
Mr. Ball. Did you ask him whether he had gone directly home?
Mr. Fritz. No, sir; I don't think so.
Mr. Ball. Then you found out the day before about the Wesley Frazier package, hadn't you?
