Mr. Griffin. When, between the time you arrived and the time Fritz came out, did you talk with anybody about the possible movement of Oswald to the county jail?
Mr. Montgomery. I was trying to think. No—let’s see, I don’t believe I did.
Mr. Griffin. Was there any conversation in the office during that period?
Mr. Montgomery. While they were gone out?
Mr. Griffin. While you were there, conversation that you didn’t participate in, necessarily, but other people were talking about the movement of Oswald to the county jail?
Mr. Montgomery. No, sir.
Mr. Griffin. Prior to the time that Fritz asked that these two officers bring Oswald downstairs, had you heard anything about the movement of Oswald?
Mr. Montgomery. I think right before they told them to go up, said, “We are going to transfer him here around 10 o’clock.” I think is what he said, and that is when he sent a couple of officers to, you know, to get him and bring him down.
Mr. Griffin. What was your understanding as to what was going to be done when Oswald was brought down?
Mr. Montgomery. Going to talk to him a little bit and transfer him, you know, down to the county.
