I talked to him a minute there and I don't believe I talked to Captain Fritz. One of my assistants was in Fritz's office. I believe I did walk down the hall and talk briefly, and they had filed, they had filed on Oswald for killing Tippit.
Mr. Dulles. Which assistant was that?
Mr. Wade. Bill Alexander. There was another one of—another man there, Jim Allen, who was my former first assistant who is practicing law there in Dallas and frankly I was a little surprised of seeing him there, he is a real capable boy but he was there in homicide with Captain Fritz. They were good friends.
And I know there is no question about his intentions and everything was good, but he was just a lawyer there, but he had tried many death penalty cases with Fritz—of Fritz's cases.
But he was there. Your FBI was there, your Secret Service were there in the homicide.
Mr. Rankin. Who from the FBI, do you recall?
Mr. Wade. Well, I saw Vince Drain, a special agent that I knew, and Jim Bookhout, I believe, and there was Mr. Kelley and Mr. Sorrels—Inspector Kelley of the Secret Service, Sorrels, Forest Sorrels.
I might tell you that also, to give you a proper perspective on this thing, there were probably 300 people then out in that hall.
You could hardly walk down the hall. You just had to fight your way down through the hall, through the press up there.
Mr. Rankin. Who were they?
