Ellis Carl Brazel [spelling] B-r-a-z-e-l, he's 22 years of age, 5' 10", 169 pounds. Now, this weight could be one way or the other because this was at the time that they were arrested when they got this description.
Mr. Stern. This information was obtained from police records?
Mr. Sims. Yes, sir. He has green eyes, blond hair, and ruddy complexion.
Mr. Stern. As far as you now remember, does it accurately describe the two?
Mr. Sims. I couldn't say. I know it was what we had in our identification jacket—these are their descriptions.
Mr. Stern. But you have no independent recollection now of their description?
Mr. Sims. No, sir.
Mr. Stern. At page 3 of your memorandum, in describing events at the School Book Depository, the memorandum states, and this occurred just after Lieutenant Day picked up the rifle and dusted it for fingerprints—the memorandum states: "Some man then called Captain Fritz, and he walked over to where the man was. This man gave Captain Fritz the name of Lee Harvey Oswald and his home address in Irving, Tex."
Would you give me something more about that—how Oswald's name came up and in what context the name was given?
Mr. Sims. Yes, sir; this man, I believe, was some supervisor there at the store, and he gave Captain Fritz Oswald's name and address.
