United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. MURRET. Yes. They came to the house and knocked at the door, and
I went to the door, and they didn't tell me who they were at first,
but they approached me, and asked me, "Does a young couple live here?"
and I said, "No; no young couple lives here, nor did any young couple
ever live here," and then they asked me, "Do you know Lee Oswald?" and
I said, "Yes, I do; he's my nephew," and he said, "Well, do you know
where he lives?" and I said, "Well, yes, he lives in the 4900 block of
Magazine Street. I don't know the number, but it's in the 4900 block,"
and then they told me who they were.
Mr. JENNER. That's when they told you they were FBI agents?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes. Then the next day they came back, and they told me
that a lady, a neighbor, or whoever they heard it from, said that a
lady with a station wagon was there. I said, "Well, probably that's the
same lady who brought Marina here from Texas, and took them back to
Texas."
Mr. JENNER. This was the 20th of September, is that right?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes, I think so, and that's the last I knew of them.
I never heard anything else about them, but now, I skipped over
something--in between that time he called one time, and he said Mrs.
Paine was going up to see her relatives, I think, and that she was
going to pass through New Orleans and visit with them, but he didn't
say that they were leaving with her and going back to Texas, or
anything like that. He just said Mrs. Paine was going to come through
here and visit with them. He also said that Mrs. Paine knew a Tulane
professor.
Mr. JENNER. A Tulane professor?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes, sir; a Tulane professor. He could have been a
language professor, I imagine, because I remember him saying that he
had a daughter that was attending the university in Moscow, and they
either went to his home or they came over to Lee's house. That I didn't
get straight, and he showed slides, and so forth, on Russia, the way I
understand it.
Mr. JENNER. Who showed the slides?
Mrs. MURRET. The professor, but I think Mrs. Paine was the one who knew
the professor and all that.
Mr. JENNER. You say his daughter is in school in Moscow?
Mrs. MURRET. He is supposed to have a daughter in the university over
there, yes, sir; or he did have. That was my understanding.
Mr. JENNER. In Moscow?
Mrs. MURRET. I think he said Moscow, but that's the last I heard from
Lee Oswald and Marina.
Mr. JENNER. All right. Now, tell me one thing you left out?
Mrs. MURRET. What's that?
Mr. JENNER. The trip over to Mobile.
Mrs. MURRET. Oh. Well, that came in--I don't remember the date.
Mr. JENNER. Was it sometime in July or August of 1963, somewhere around
there?
