The Chairman. What was your answer to that?
Mr. Fritz. I did not, I got no such instructions. In fact, we couldn't—we would have taken the precautions without the notice but we did not get the notice, I never heard of that.
Mr. Ball. Do you recall that on Friday, November 22, Wade asked you or did he or didn't District Attorney Wade ask you to transfer Oswald to the county jail for security?
Mr. Fritz. That would be on the night of the 22d?
Mr. Ball. On the night of the 22d.
Mr. Fritz. Yes, sir; he asked me if I would transfer him that night.
Mr. Ball. What did you tell him?
Mr. Fritz. I told him we didn't want to transfer him yet. We wanted to talk to him some more. We talked a little bit. He didn't actually want him transferred. He just was more or less talking about whether or not we wanted to transfer him.
Mr. Ball. Now on Saturday Decker called you and asked you to transfer him?
Mr. Fritz. On Saturday did he call me and ask me to transfer him?
