Mr. JENNER. Did this friendship terminate while the marriage still existed, or was it afterward? Mrs. MURRET. I think afterward. I don't know whether there was any friendship with the Oswald family during this marriage or not. I couldn't say. She never spoke about it, but I do know, after the death of the brother, they had some dissension about something. I don't know what, but that ended that friendship with the Oswalds. Mr. JENNER. As far as you know or were advised, that was never repaired, was it? Mrs. MURRET. I don't think so. Mr. JENNER. Your sister married Mr. Ekdahl? Mrs. MURRET. Yes. Mr. JENNER. And your recollection of that event is what? Mrs. MURRET. What do you mean? Mr. JENNER. What do you remember about that incident? Mrs. MURRET. Well, I don't know anything about the marriage at all, other than what you have told me about it. I only met Mr. Ekdahl one time, and they were about to be married about that time it seems like, and they say that Mr. Ekdahl was a sick man and had a bad heart, and he was a little older than she was, and she didn't seem very enthusiastic about marrying Mr. Ekdahl, and that's when his sister came down here and she liked Marguerite a lot, and she said, "Why don't you go ahead and marry him? He is lonesome," and so forth, so she just decided, I guess, to marry Ed. Mr. JENNER. His name was Edward Ekdahl? Mrs. MURRET. Yes; his name was Edward Ekdahl. Mr. JENNER. And it is your best recollection that you met him once before the marriage? Mrs. MURRET. That's all I saw him; yes, sir. Mr. JENNER. Had your sister talked to you about him prior to the marriage? Mrs. MURRET. She spoke to me about him, I think. He was a high salaried man, that I know, and he did research work for Texas Electric, I think, and of course I don't think things worked out maybe too well for them, I mean, about his way of giving her money and so forth. I guess she thought things would be different after their marriage. You see, he was sort of tight, I think, with his money. She would go to the grocery store, but he would hold the money, and of course she didn't like that part of it, I guess you know, so then she went around with Mr. Ekdahl in his travels for the company and she also took Lee with her wherever she had to go. And then Lee became of school age, and she had these other two boys in the Chamberlin-Hunt College in Mississippi. Mr. JENNER. Is that a military school? Mrs. MURRET. Yes; and it's a high-priced military school, with beautiful uniforms and so forth, and she used her own money for these boys to go to military school. Mr. Ekdahl didn't take on that responsibility. He didn't take on any obligation like that at all, as far as I know. She said he didn't even take Lee as an obligation.
