United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JENNER. All right. Now, coming to later years, was there any
change? Did you avoid any difference of opinion with her, or anything
that you can recall of that nature?
Mrs. MURRET. Well, in later years, whatever dissensions we had or
whatever it was that we would have a controversy over, she would just
go off, and she wouldn't write or anything, and we wouldn't hear from
her, and so forth, you know, until something turned up where she
probably needed assistance or a place to stay, or she was coming to
New Orleans and for us to put her up and everything. I never did hold
anything in, you know what I mean, things like that.
Mr. JENNER. The remainder of your family, your other brothers and
sisters, I think they remained in and about the New Orleans area; is
that right?
Mrs. MURRET. Well, they did for a while.
Mr. JENNER. Well, they all remained in and about New Orleans except for
your sister Aminthe; isn't that right?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes; she moved. She married and moved to Knoxville.
Mr. JENNER. But the rest of your family stayed here in the New Orleans
area?
Mrs. MURRET. Well, my brother stayed. They were very young, and of
course long before I was married, they died, so there wasn't really
anyone left, you know, except Marguerite and I. She lived with me when
I first got married, she stayed with me then.
Mr. JENNER. Marguerite lived with you during your marriage?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes; my father and my husband and myself, we all stayed
together.
Mr. JENNER. You and your husband and your father and your sister
Marguerite stayed together?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes; we lived on Esplanade and Roman.
Mr. JENNER. What is the business or occupation of your husband?
Mrs. MURRET. What is his occupation?
Mr. JENNER. Yes.
Mrs. MURRET. He's a clerk for, well, he works for different companies,
but mostly for Mr. Jackson. He works at different wharves, in other
words.
Mr. JENNER. Different what?
Mrs. MURRET. At different wharves on the riverfront. You see, he
doesn't belong to a union so, therefore, he doesn't stay at one wharf.
He transfers to where they have work, and sometimes if one don't have
work, he will work for someone else.
Mr. JENNER. Tell me what else you know about John Pic.
Mrs. MURRET. What else?
Mr. JENNER. Yes, about Edward John Pic.
Mrs. MURRET. Well, about all I know about him is what she told me.
She said John wasn't supporting her because, she told me, that she
was pregnant and he refused to give her any money. It was a payday, I
think, when she told me that, and I spoke to John, but John didn't give
me any satisfaction whatever. He didn't say a thing, why or anything,
what was the reason or anything.
Mr. JENNER. Did you discuss with him his refusal to support Marguerite?
Mrs. MURRET. No; she left John.
Mr. JENNER. Did she leave him?
