Mr. Ball. He said he was what?
Mr. Fritz. He was not.
Mr. Ball. He said he was not fixing it?
Mr. Fritz. Yes.
Mr. Ball. Do you know what he said in reply to your question?
Mr. Fritz. No, sir; I don't remember what he said about that.
Mr. Ball. Was he questioned about post office boxes that morning?
Mr. Fritz. Yes, sir; I did, I asked him about those post office boxes, because the postal inspector had told us about those boxes, and Mr. Holmes did most of the talking to him about the boxes, and he knew about the boxes and where they were, and he said he had, and I asked him too if he had ordered a rifle to be shipped to one of those boxes, and he said he had not, to one of those box numbers.
Mr. Ball. Did you ask him why he had the boxes?
Mr. Fritz. He told me that he had, one of the boxes, if I remember correctly, he never admitted owning at all. The other box he told me he got his, he kept to get his mail, that he said he got some papers from Russia and correspondence with people from Russia and he used that box for his mail.
