United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. MURRET. Yes. They were married, I think, about maybe 4 years
before John was born. I don't know the dates or the times or anything,
but you can figure that she is 57 now, and John is 31.
Mr. JENNER. Well, she would have been 26 when he was born, would that
be about right?
Mrs. MURRET. Twenty-six--I don't think she was that old; I don't know.
Mr. JENNER. Well, 31 from 57 is 26.
Mrs. MURRET. Yes. Well, she could have been, but I didn't think she
was that old. I thought maybe she might have been around 23 years old.
Let's see--well, John wasn't born until 4 years after she was married,
you see.
Mr. JENNER. Oh--well, that would be 26 less 4, so that would be 22
years.
Mrs. MURRET. Yes; I think she was 22 about then, 22 or 23, somewhere in
there. I didn't think she was 26 yet.
Mr. JENNER. So we can say that she was married when she was about 22
years old; is that right?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes; I think that's about right.
Mr. JENNER. What was her formal education?
Mrs. MURRET. She had a high school education.
Mr. JENNER. Here in New Orleans?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes; McDonogh High School. She lived with Mr. Pic, say
about 2 years, and then they moved into another location.
Mr. JENNER. They first were in this apartment in the City Park area?
Mrs. MURRET. Well, that was during the time that she left Mr. Pic,
previous to that.
Mr. JENNER. Let's start back. You said something about his having lied
to her as to his income, did you not?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Then I believe you said he rented an apartment in the City
Park area; is that right?
Mrs. MURRET. That's right.
Mr. JENNER. And she found when they went out there, or whatever
occurred, that he was not able to pay the rent on the salary he was
making; is that right?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And so she went back to work.
Mrs. MURRET. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Now, she remained married to him and lived with him, didn't
she?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. All right. They lived in the City Park area how long?
Mrs. MURRET. I don't know how long they lived there. I really don't,
but I was thinking of another time when she lived in the City Park
area. That was when I was referring to.
Mr. JENNER. We can come to that later. Let's just keep this in
sequence, if you don't mind, and we'll cover all of it.
Mrs. MURRET. Yes, sir; so then, they rented a house in another section.
I have forgotten which section that was.
Mr. JENNER. Here in New Orleans?
Mrs. MURRET. Oh, yes; and it was during that time when she became
pregnant.
Mr. JENNER. Was that when they had the house?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes; while they were in this regular home, you know, that
they rented. It was in the lower section. I forget what section it
was, probably somewhere up in the Carrollton section.
Mr. JENNER. Carrollton?
