United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JENNER. Were you married to your husband before or after Marguerite
married Edward John Pic?
Mrs. MURRET. I was already married.
Mr. JENNER. You were already married then?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. And your husband does have an acquaintance with Edward John
Pic, does he?
Mrs. MURRET. Oh, no. He just maybe occasionally will see him from a
distance, but he has never spoken with him. In fact, I don't think I
would know Eddie Pic if I saw him on the street. That has been so long
ago. I don't think I would recognize him myself. Eddie Pic was a very
peculiar type of boy, you might say a person who did not talk unless
you spoke to him, and they would come over to my home for dinner or
something, and he would sit there all day long and he wouldn't say
anything. Now, I don't know whether all of this is important. I don't
guess some of it is.
Mr. JENNER. Don't you worry about whether you think it is important or
not, Mrs. Murret. We will decide that once we get all this information
assembled. You just tell me what you know about all of this, anything
that comes to your mind that you think might be important to the
Commission in this investigation.
Mrs. MURRET. Well, at the beginning when she married Eddie, she said
he wasn't fair. He told Marguerite that he was making more money than
he was over there, and she had to go back to work. She worked for
Mr. Sere. He was one of the lawyers in a law firm at that time, and
Marguerite worked for him. It was the firm of Goldberg, Kammer and
somebody else--lawyers.
Mr. JENNER. Was Sere a lawyer?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes; they were all lawyers. They were three lawyers
together. He was secretary there at first, but then he became a lawyer
too.
Mr. JENNER. How do you spell his name?
Mrs. MURRET. Mr. Sere?
Mr. JENNER. Yes.
Mrs. MURRET. S-E-R-E.
Mr. JENNER. Is Mr. Sere still alive?
Mrs. MURRET. He is not.
Mr. JENNER. He is dead?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. All right. Just go ahead now with what you know about
Marguerite's first marriage.
Mrs. MURRET. Well, the way I understood it, and this is only what she
told me now, I know nothing, you know, other than that--but she said
Eddie had lied to her about how much money he was making at this place,
and that it was a very small salary that he made. He went out and
rented a house in the City Park section, which was very high rent, and
then it seems like he signed a lease and all that, and then after that
Eddie must have told her in the meantime what he was making over at
that place, and they couldn't possibly have stayed there and paid that
rent on his salary, so she had to ask for her job back again, so they
took her back again and then they paid for furniture that they got and
so forth while she was working.
Mr. JENNER. How old was she then?
Mrs. MURRET. Well, let's see--John must be about 31 years old now.
Mr. JENNER. You mean her son John?
