Mr. Ball. What else was said?
Mr. Fritz. I asked him, too, I believe on that same morning, I asked him more about his political beliefs and he told me he didn't belong to any political party and he told me he was a Marxist but that he wasn't a Marxist-Leninist, that he was just a Marxist, and that he again told me that he believed in the Castro revolution. That is the morning of the transfer.
Mr. Ball. You asked him about the gun again, didn't you?
Mr. Fritz. I asked him about a lot of things that morning, I sure did.
Mr. Ball. Tell us about it.
Mr. Fritz. He denied anything about Alek Hidell, and again about his belief in the Fair Play for Cuba.
Mr. Ball. What about the rifle?
Mr. Fritz. I asked him about the Neely Street address and he denied that address. He denied having a picture made over there and he even denied living there. I told him he had people who visited him over there and he said they were just wrong about visiting.
Mr. Ball. Did you ask him again about the rifle, did you ask him if that was the picture, that that rifle was his?
Mr. Fritz. Yes, sir; I am sure I did.
