Mr. Ball. Why did you say you would not be ready by 4 o'clock on Saturday?
Mr. Fritz. We wanted to ask him some more questions, to get more information.
Mr. Ball. Did you consider transferring him at night?
Mr. Fritz. At night?
Mr. Ball. Yes.
Mr. Fritz. During the night on Saturday night, I had a call at my home from uniformed captain, Captain Frazier, I believe is his name, he called me out at home and told me they had had some threats and he had to transfer Oswald.
And I said, well, I don't know. I said there has been no security setup, and the chief having something to do with this transfer and you had better call him, because—so he told me he would.
Mr. Ball. Did you think——
Mr. Fritz. He called me back then in a few minutes and he told me he couldn't get the chief and told me to leave him where he was. I don't think that transferring him at night would have been any safer than transferring, may I say this?
Mr. Ball. Yes.
