Mr. Ball. Did he tell you what he was eating?
Mr. Fritz. He told me, I believe, that he had, I am doing this from memory, a cheese sandwich, and he also mentioned he had some fruit, I had forgotten about the fruit until I looked at this report.
Mr. Ball. Did he say that was in the package he had brought from home?
Mr. Fritz. Yes, sir; there was one reason I asked him about what was in the package, we had had a story that had been circulated around the meantime about some chicken bones. I am sure you heard of that, and I wanted to find for sure what he did have in his lunch and he told me about having—he told me they did not have any chicken out there and I also talked with the Paines and they told me they didn't have any chicken in the icebox, they did have some cheese.
Mr. Ball. But he said he had had lunch with Junior?
Mr. Fritz. Yes, sir; and with someone else.
Mr. Ball. Did you find out that there was an employee named Junior, a man that was nicknamed Junior at the Texas School Book Depository?
Mr. Fritz. Probably we have it here, some of the officers probably did, we had all these people checked out. I didn't do it myself probably.
Mr. Ball. That same morning, you asked him also about his affiliations, didn't you ask him if he belonged to the Communist Party?
Mr. Fritz. Yes, sir; I asked him if he belonged to the Communist Party.
