Mr. Stern. By whom was the interview conducted?

Mr. Bookhout. Primarily it was conducted by Captain Fritz and then before he would leave from one point to another he would ask if there was anything we wanted to ask him particularly on that point.

Mr. Stern. By "we," you mean Agent Hosty and yourself?

Mr. Bookhout. Right.

Mr. Stern. What was Oswald's demeanor in the course of this interview? Did he seem in control of himself, excited, or calm? Can you describe his conduct?

Mr. Bookhout. He was very arrogant and argumentative. That is about the extent of the comment on that.

Mr. Stern. Is this as to you and Hosty, or also Captain Fritz? Did he differentiate in his conduct between Captain Fritz and the two of you?

Mr. Bookhout. Now—no; that would apply to everyone present.

Mr. Stern. Did he answer all questions put to him or did he refuse to answer the questions?

Mr. Bookhout. No; there would be certain questions that he refused to comment about.
