United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Miss MURRET. No. Oh, no.
Mr. LIEBELER. Do you remember any other discussions or confrontations
that you might have had?
Miss MURRET. That was the only time that I had had any chance to talk
with him, and that was the first day that he came--I believe it was.
After that, on Saturdays, or that particular Saturday he was out all
day looking around for a job. And then on that Sunday he wanted to
know where his father was buried, and he wanted to locate some of his
relatives, because he had said that when Marina's family had asked him
about his family, he didn't know anything at all, he didn't know what
descent he was, and he said he realized, or he missed not being close
to his relatives, because he didn't know any of them other than us.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did he ask you about this or----
Miss MURRET. My mother.
Mr. LIEBELER. And you were there at the time?
Miss MURRET. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. What did your mother tell him?
Miss MURRET. My mother checked the telephone directory, and I think
most of the Oswalds were dead. Harvey Oswald, who was his godfather, I
believe, is dead. He did find one relative and he went to see her.
Mr. LIEBELER. What was her name?
Miss MURRET. I don't know, but that might have been his wife. My mother
would know.
Mr. LIEBELER. Whose wife? Harvey Oswald's?
Miss MURRET. They were very old. That was his father's brother, but
they are all dead. But it might be one of the wives who is still
living, and he went out there to see her, and she gave him a picture of
his father. And then he went to visit the grave.
Mr. LIEBELER. Of his father?
Miss MURRET. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did he talk to you about that at all?
Miss MURRET. No.
Mr. LIEBELER. What happened to the picture? Do you know?
Miss MURRET. I think he might have told my mother about it, and I think
he might have told me, but I was there that Sunday and he caught the
bus and went to the other house, and this old lady gave him the picture
of his father. And he just showed it, and that was all.
Mr. LIEBELER. Was it a large picture or----
Miss MURRET. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. And did he take it with him when he left, when he moved
over to the apartment on Magazine Street?
Miss MURRET. Yes. I guess so----
Mr. LIEBELER. You haven't seen it around the house since?
Miss MURRET. No.
Mr. LIEBELER. You mentioned something about when he caught the bus and
went to the other aunt?
Miss MURRET. You say to the aunt?
Mr. LIEBELER. To this aunt who gave him the picture?
Miss MURRET. Well, I mean he left and I know he caught the bus.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did he seem concerned about his ability to find a job?
Miss MURRET. He wanted to find a job so Marina could come down here.
I know he was looking--I mean he seemed like he really wanted to find
one. And when he found it, he seemed to be very happy about it.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did he tell you----
Miss MURRET. I mean the one at the Reily Coffee Co.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did he tell you why he came to New Orleans to look for a
job?
