United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Now, I would like to have you tell me something about her, how many
times she was married, to whom, in chronological order.
Mrs. MURRET. Well, I will tell you all I know about her. I have known
her all her life, you know. She was first married to Edward John Pic.
Mr. JENNER. Edward John Pic?
Mrs. MURRET. That's right.
Mr. JENNER. Is that P-I-C?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. I think we have that as John Edward Pic. Is there an
explanation for that, do you think?
Mrs. MURRET. Well, I think they just reversed the name around because
the child is John Edward, but I think the father's name was Edward
John, because I think they always called him Eddie. Now, I don't know
which way it is.
Mr. JENNER. All right. Do you happen to recall when that marriage took
place?
Mrs. MURRET. Well, I wouldn't remember what year, you know, or anything
like that, when the marriage took place. I know about how long they
were married. I think they were married about 2 years, but I'm not
really too accurate as to years.
Mr. JENNER. Well, as closely as you can come to it.
Mrs. MURRET. I know what happened, but the dates I just don't recall
exactly, because I had my own affairs to take care of, so I can't
remember dates in her life, but anyway, she was married to Eddie for 2
years, we'll say----
Mr. JENNER. Let me interrupt you for a minute. Tell me something about
that marriage. Who was he? Did the marriage, take place here? Were you
present? What do you know about that marriage?
Mrs. MURRET. I don't know too much about the marriage. I don't think it
took place here. I just don't know anything about that. It might have
taken place over on the Gulf Coast. I don't know if I am right on that
or not. That has been so long ago, but Marguerite did know Eddie a very
long time.
Mr. JENNER. She had known him for some time before she married him?
Mrs. MURRET. Oh, yes.
Mr. JENNER. Had you known him for some time before she married him?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. What was his business or occupation?
Mrs. MURRET. Well, Eddie worked for Smith. I think they are stevedores.
Mr. JENNER. What did he do as a stevedore?
Mrs. MURRET. Well, I don't know what type of work he did. I think it
was clerical work. I think he is still with the same people.
Mr. JENNER. He is alive?
Mrs. MURRET. Oh, yes. I think it's T. B. Smith, or something like that.
I don't know what the initials stand for.
Mr. JENNER. T. as in Thomas?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And B. as in Benny?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Smith?
Mrs. MURRET. Smith, yes.
Mr. JENNER. And you think Edward John Pic is still employed by them?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes; he is--some kind of clerical work, as far as I know.
The reason I know he is is because Mr. Murret, who works on the river,
saw him out there, but it was from a distance.
Mr. JENNER. Your husband works on the riverfront, does he?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes.
