Mr. Ball. Were you present at any time when a lawyer visited Oswald?
Mr. Boyd. No, sir; I wasn't present—we asked him, did he want a lawyer here—Captain Fritz the next morning had asked him, and he said he didn't want a lawyer, he wanted Mr. Abt.
Mr. Ball. Do you have some questions?
Mr. Stern. What was your impression of Oswald—the way he handled himself, what kind of a man did he seem to you?
Mr. Boyd. I'll tell you, I've never saw another man just exactly like him.
Mr. Stern. In what way?
Mr. Boyd. Well, you know, he acted like he was intelligent; just as soon as you would ask him a question, he would just give you the answer right back—he didn't hesitate about his answers. I mean, as soon as you would pop him a question, he would shoot you an answer right back and, like I said, I never saw a man that could answer questions like he did.
Mr. Stern. Did he seem to be under stress or calm in those terms?
Mr. Boyd. Well, at times he was just as calm as could be, then once in a while he would—I don't know just how to tell you, but every now and then he would be talking and he would be just as calm and the next minute he would just liable to be—I mean his attitude, you know, would change, you know, rather frequently, but most of the time when he would be talking to you he was rather calm.
Mr. Stern. When it changed, was it for any noticeable reason or did it change apparently?
