Mr. Rose. Do I remember what was said?
Mr. Ball. That this took place in Captain Fritz' office?
Mr. Rose. In Captain Fritz' office—yes. Well, the occasion was—I got back to the office and I took this small picture of Oswald holding the rifle, and left the rest of them with the Captain and I took one up to the I.D. bureau and had them to make me an enlargement of it, and they made an almost 8" by 10" enlargement of this picture and I brought it back to the captain and Oswald was brought in and the captain showed him this picture, and Oswald apparently got pretty upset when he saw the picture and at first he said, "Well, that's just a fake, because somebody has superimposed my face on that picture." Then, the captain said, "Well, is that your face on the picture?"
And he said, "I won't even admit that. That is not even my face." I remember that part of it distinctly.
I remember him volunteering some information about when he was in Russia.
Mr. Ball. What did he say?
Mr. Rose. Well, he talked about how life was better for the colored people in Russia than it was in the United States. I don't remember—he just rambled on—he liked to talk about that, but he wouldn't talk about anything to do with the assassination or the killing of Tippit.
Mr. Ball. Did you ever hear anybody accuse him of assassinating the President?
Mr. Rose. No, sir; I don't believe I did.
Mr. Ball. Did you ever hear anybody accuse him of killing Tippit?
