United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. LIEBELER. But you don't remember the names of any of the men at
WDSU that might be familiar with this that were on the program when
these people were interviewed by someone, presumably?
Miss MURRET. My mother knows the names of the men, or the man, I
believe, because he wrote this letter and wanted some detailed
information.
Mr. LIEBELER. The reporter talked to you personally?
Miss MURRET. The first time my father talked, and they get you off
guard, of course, and I don't know what he told them. They asked him
if he had stayed at my house, and my father at that time stated that
he had, and that was all he said, and after that they came in and they
wanted to take pictures and everything else. I asked them to leave,
which they did, but for days after they were always coming around, and,
of course, we had no comments. The one from WDSU got very irate, so he
went up and down the block and interviewed the entire neighborhood, and
it was about a half an hour show, around 7 o'clock or so, and had all
the comments by the neighbors.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did any of the neighbors remember Lee Oswald?
Miss MURRET. The girl next door probably did because he had stayed
there a few days when he came in.
Mr. LIEBELER. He stayed at your house a few days? This was in 1963?
Miss MURRET. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. You mentioned that Lee had stayed with you when he was a
young boy until the time that he was about 2 years old. You were about
11 or 12 years old at that time?
Miss MURRET. Just about.
Mr. LIEBELER. Do you have any recollection of Lee as a young child
other than what you have already indicated to us that he was a very
pretty child, and that he was adorable----
Miss MURRET. He was adorable, and his personality, he was just--well,
he was very bright, you know, very observant, and he was just a darling
child.
Mr. LIEBELER. And he gave no indication of any behavior problems?
Miss MURRET. No; he was darling.
Mr. LIEBELER. There wasn't anything apparently wrong with him at all?
Miss MURRET. And very pleasant, you know, not the type of child who if
he didn't get his way would start screaming--never any of that. He was
just a very pleasant child.
Mr. LIEBELER. What were the circumstances that led to Lee's living with
you at that time? Do you know?
Miss MURRET. Well, I think the mother had to work and we kept him.
Mr. LIEBELER. His father had died shortly, or, actually before he was
born?
Miss MURRET. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. Do you remember where Lee's mother worked during that
time?
Miss MURRET. I don't know--she worked for several department stores,
and in a hosiery shop that she was managing, and I don't know if it was
Jean's Hosiery Shop.
Mr. LIEBELER. So it was hosiery shops or department stores?
Miss MURRET. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. Well, then Lee left your house. Where did he go after
that? Do you know?
Miss MURRET. I think that is when he went to Texas. I am not sure if
that is when she married Ekdahl, or if she married Ekdahl later.
