Captain Fritz - Transfer of Oswald
Page 3
of the jail and then to the basement giving us but a few feet to the car.
As we were leaving to go to the jail elevator, I told Det. T. L. Baker to
call downstairs and tell them we were on the way down and have the car ready.
Det. Baker called and It. Wipgins said all was clear.
Before taking the man out of the jail office I asked one of the uniform
officers who was standing to my right if everything was secure. I believe that
two officers answered me that everything was all right. I then advised the
officers following me to come on, and at this moment Officer Dhority, who was
driving the police car for the prisoner, was backing into position with the
police car we were to rut the prisoner in. As I reached for the car door
and told the officer to put him in the car, I heard a shot. On my left I
saw Officer Graves and a number of officers grab this man and pull him to
the pavement. Det. Graves twisted the gun from his hand and handed it to
me. The prisoner was carried into the jail office and a doctor was summoned
and arrived almost immediately and went to work with the prisoner until an
ambulance arrived. Some of the other officers took the man that I found was
Jack Ruby up into the jail.
I instructed Officers Dhority, Leavelle and Graves to ride with the prisoner
in
the ambulance. Dets. E. R. Beck, L. D. Montgomery, C. the Brown and myself
followed the ambulance to the hospital, where security was kept until he was
released to an undertaker.
Immediately after the shooting, I asked netective Dhority to contact the
captain of the Uniform Division to secure the names of all of the people in
the basement at the time of the shooting.
