Mr. Ball. Was Oswald handcuffed at all times during the interrogation?
Mr. Fritz. I believe he was; yes, sir, I believe we kept him handcuffed at all times. The first time we brought him in he was handcuffed with his hands behind him and he was uncomfortable and I had the officers change them and put his hands up front.
Mr. Ball. Was he fed any time during that day?
Mr. Fritz. Yes, sir; he was. I don't remember buying him something to eat. I usually do, if they are hard up in jail at the time I buy something to eat but some of the other officers remember me buying him food but the only thing he would drink was I believe some milk and ate a little package of those crackers sandwiches and one of the other officers bought him a cup of coffee and that is all he would either eat or drink, that is all he wanted.
Mr. Ball. Now he talked to his wife and——
Mr. Fritz. And his mother.
Mr. Ball. And his brother, Robert?
Mr. Fritz. Yes, sir; I am pretty sure he did.
Mr. Ball. Where did he talk to them?
Mr. Fritz. I believe that would be up in the jail. He didn't want them in my office.
