Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. MURRET. Well, it was the same house, but they changed the
numbering of that block, but it was the same residence. They changed it
to the 700 block.
Mr. JENNER. And how long did she stay with you on that occasion?
Mrs. MURRET. Well, that must have been 2 weeks, 3 weeks. She was
looking for a place to stay, and Robert was coming out of the service,
and so that's when she found this place over on Exchange Alley before
Robert came in, and she met Robert at my house, and they went right
over to the apartment at Exchange Alley that she had found, but Robert
left. He wouldn't stay in New Orleans.
Mr. JENNER. How many days were you looking for an apartment for her?
Mrs. MURRET. Oh, I would say about a week.
Mr. JENNER. Until she found this place on Exchange Alley?
Mrs. MURRET. That's right.
Mr. JENNER. What was Lee doing during that time?
Mrs. MURRET. He was going to school.
Mr. JENNER. When they came back from New York and stopped at your home
and lived with you temporarily, did he go to school?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes; he did. That's when she enrolled him at Beauregard
Junior High.
Mr. JENNER. Would that have been in January 1954?
Mrs. MURRET. I don't know.
Mr. JENNER. Well, they left New York City, I think, either on the fifth
or the seventh of January 1954. Now, we have an address here in New
Orleans of 1464 St. Mary Street.
Mrs. MURRET. Oh, that was before the Exchange Place. She rented that
from this lady who was a friend of hers.
Mr. JENNER. Was that Myrtle Evans?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes; Myrtle Evans. She was a friend of hers.
Mr. JENNER. I believe she also lived for a time at 1910 Prytania,
didn't she?
Mrs. MURRET. I think that's right. I'm not sure about those different
places, I mean, how she would move from one to the other, but she was
at several places up in there before she went to Exchange Place.
Mr. JENNER. Well, we appear from our records to have them living on St.
Mary Street in New Orleans in May or June of 1954, until about February
1955.
Mrs. MURRET. Well, I don't know anything about that. I know Myrtle
Evans was managing that apartment where she lived.
Mr. JENNER. Do you know how it was that she went to live at 126
Exchange Place in New Orleans?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Was that 1954 or 1955?
Mrs. MURRET. I don't know--whatever you have down there probably is the
right year, but they lived at Myrtle's house first.
Mr. JENNER. Could it have been that Myrtle Evans lived, in the spring
of 1954, at 1454 St. Mary Street?
Mrs. MURRET. I don't know. Maybe that's right. I know this was a
very old house where she lived. I was told that she had a family
home--Myrtle--and that she had renovated it into a lot of apartments
for tenants.
Mr. JENNER. How long did they stay at your house?
Mrs. MURRET. At my house?
Mr. JENNER. Yes.
Mrs. MURRET. Well, like I said, 2 weeks or 3 weeks at the most,
somewhere in there.
