Mr. JENNER. Mr. Liebeler and myself, we are attorneys on the legal staff of the Commission. It is our task to investigate the life of Lee Harvey Oswald from the time of his birth until his demise on the 24th of November, which was on a Sunday, 1963, which gives our Commission a pretty broad area of investigation, so to speak, and one of our purposes in particular is to take the depositions of people such as you who in any way touched the life of Lee Harvey Oswald or those with whom he was acquainted perhaps, either directly or collaterally. We understand from the FBI reports and otherwise, from FBI interviews with you, that you will be able to help us. Mrs. MURRET. Well, I will if I can. Mr. JENNER. All right. Now, just sit back and relax. There's nothing going to happen to you. We just want to ask you what you know about Oswald, his mother, and others with whom he came in contact, to your knowledge. Mrs. MURRET. Do you just want me to tell you what I know about his life? Mr. JENNER. Yes; as far as you know. I will just ask you questions, and I believe it will help us if you just answer them to the best of your knowledge. I wonder if we might get the lady a glass of water. (Glass of water given to witness.) Mrs. Murret, let me orient you for a moment. You are the sister of Lee Harvey Oswald's mother, are you not? Mrs. MURRET. Yes; I am. Mr. JENNER. First, what was your maiden name, Mrs. Murret? Mrs. MURRET. Claverie. Mr. JENNER. How do you spell that? Mrs. MURRET. C-L-A-V-E-R-I-E. Mrs. JENNER. And your first name is Lillian? Mrs. MURRET. Yes, sir. Mr. JENNER. Were you born in New Orleans yourself? Mrs. MURRET. New Orleans; yes, sir. Mr. JENNER. And you have always lived in New Orleans; is that right? Mrs. MURRET. Yes, sir. Mr. JENNER. Were your brothers and sisters born here? Mrs. MURRET. They were. Mr. JENNER. In New Orleans? Mrs. MURRET. Yes, sir. Mr. JENNER. So that you all are native-born Americans; is that right? Mrs. MURRET. Yes, sir; native to Louisiana--Cajuns. Mr. JENNER. Cajun and American? Mrs. MURRET. That's right. Mr. JENNER. Then all of the family are native-born Americans; is that right? Mrs. MURRET. Well, not my grandparents. Mr. JENNER. Not your grandparents? Mrs. MURRET. No. On my father's side were from France, and my grandparents on my mother's side were from Germany. Mr. JENNER. Now, Mrs. Murret, once in a while I may have to ask you a question which is a little personal, but please accept my word that it is in good faith and that it is pertinent to this investigation, and my first personal question is, would you tell us what your age is? Mrs. MURRET. What my age is? Mr. JENNER. How old are you? Mrs. MURRET. I will be 64 in May, May 17. Mr. JENNER. And how old is Marguerite? Mrs. MURRET. I think she should be 57. Mr. JENNER. Marguerite, I should say, is the sister of Mrs. Murret.
