Chief Stevenson. Yes, sir; he was in Captain Fritz’ office at the time I was instructed that the change had been decided on to take him in a car and use the truck as a decoy. He was to lead the truck down Elm Street as had been planned. The car bearing Oswald would cut down west on Main.
Mr. Hubert. Brown and Dougherty got their instructions on the third floor in Fritz’ office?
Chief Stevenson. In the homicide office; yes.
Mr. Hubert. They went down before you did then?
Chief Stevenson. Oh, yes.
Mr. Hubert. And their instructions were to get the two cars facing Commerce on the ramp and behind the armored car?
Chief Stevenson. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. Do you recall what, if anything, Captain Fritz said when he came out of the jail office immediately prior to the movement of Oswald out of the jail office?
Chief Stevenson. No, sir; I do not. I was not, oh, I would say I was within 25 feet or that far away from Captain Fritz when they emerged from the jail office door.
Mr. Hubert. You don’t remember whether he asked if things were clear or made any comment?
