United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. MURRET. When he arrived at the house; yes, sir. But he had things
over at the bus station.
Mr. JENNER. I see.
Mrs. MURRET. He had a duffelbag and some boxes over there, I know.
Mr. JENNER. How do you know that?
Mrs. MURRET. How do I know that?
Mr. JENNER. Yes.
Mrs. MURRET. Because I asked Mr. Murret to go over to the bus station
and pick up all that stuff and bring it back to the house, which he
did, and they put it in the garage. He wanted to leave it there until
he found an apartment.
Mr. JENNER. And did Mr. Murret go to the bus station with Lee?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. That evening?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. In your automobile?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And he picked up the materials at the bus station and other
packages; is that right?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Were you home when they came back from the bus station?
Mrs. MURRET. I might have been inside. I didn't go into the garage,
if that's what you mean, but that's where they put the things, in the
garage.
Mr. JENNER. Did you see anything in the garage eventually?
Mrs. MURRET. Well, I saw a duffelbag out there, and I saw ordinary
cardboard boxes with things in them, and I don't know what was in
anything. It had U.S. Marine written over it.
Mr. JENNER. Over the duffelbag?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. How many duffelbags were there?
Mrs. MURRET. Quite a few, I think.
Mr. JENNER. More than two duffelbags?
Mrs. MURRET. I could be wrong, but I think there were more.
Mr. JENNER. Would you say that there were at least two duffelbags, and
that there could have been more than two?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes. I think some of the boxes must have contained baby
clothes and things like that, and in fact, I was wondering how in the
world he got all of that stuff on the bus. I never did ask him, but
he really had a load of stuff with him. It was all there at the bus
station though.
Mr. JENNER. Did he have any long packages with him?
Mrs. MURRET. I wouldn't know that. Do you mean any visible long
packages?
Mr. JENNER. Yes.
Mrs. MURRET. I didn't see any.
Mr. JENNER. These cardboard boxes, were they ordinary cardboard boxes
that a person would pack things in?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes; I guess there were clothes in those.
Mr. JENNER. Did he have any long flat package with him?
Mrs. MURRET. I didn't see any.
Mr. JENNER. Did you ever see any package wrapped in unbroken or tan
wrapping paper?
Mrs. MURRET. I don't think. Like I said, I knew there were all kinds of
things back in there, all bunched up, more or less. Everything was in
such a little space back there, but it was all together, and my washing
machine is out there, but I never one time pried into or disarranged
any of that stuff or anything like that. I figured that wasn't any of
my business.
Mr. JENNER. Did you see any package that stood up on end at all?
Mrs. MURRET. I didn't see any like that; no.
Mr. JENNER. Anything that looked like, oh, say, a tent pole, long and
hard?
