Miss MURRET. He had said that Marina wanted to be near the sea, and she thought she would like New Orleans. He didn't tell me that; he told my mother. Mr. LIEBELER. You knew at this time that he had been to the Soviet Union, did you not? Miss MURRET. Yes. Mr. LIEBELER. Did you talk to him about his experiences in Russia? Miss MURRET. I asked him how he liked it, and he showed me a few photographs, my mother and I, of where he lived. And that is when he said about the family, that people were very family conscious---- Mr. LIEBELER. In Russia? Miss MURRET. Yes; I don't know--I think he was citing one experience where he was traveling, or something, and there were some people who had less than he had, and invited him in, which they would probably do here, but just never had occasion to, and they had very little, but what they had they shared with him. That is when he said that he was very embarrassed because when they asked him what descent he was, he said he didn't know, didn't know nothing at all about his family, and that is why he was determined to locate his various relatives here. Mr. LIEBELER. Did you ask him why he went to Russia in the first place? Miss MURRET. No; I was away when he left, and I didn't even know he left actually, and my mother didn't tell me anything, to worry me, and I saw his brother, John. And my sister had written me a letter just before that and said that Marguerite had not heard from Lee, and that she had sent some money and the envelope was returned. I didn't know where he had gone, and I guess they just assumed that I knew. My mother didn't want to worry me probably, because all the scandal was brewing in all the papers, and everything. I went to visit John, and his wife told me at that time---- Mr. LIEBELER. Where was John living at that time? Miss MURRET. In Japan. Mr. LIEBELER. You were in Japan at that time? Miss MURRET. Yes. Mr. LIEBELER. What were you doing in Japan? Miss MURRET. I taught school over there. Mr. LIEBELER. In an English speaking school? Miss MURRET. Yes. Mr. LIEBELER. Did John tell you that Lee had gone to Russia? Miss MURRET. He didn't tell me--his wife told me. So I didn't bring the subject up at all with John. I mean we weren't invading anybody's privacy at all, and if he wanted to say something, he would say. And I know that she said that they were very upset because this put him over the barrel, and he has a family, and he was very embarrassed. Mr. LIEBELER. John was? Miss MURRET. Of course, and they had three children, and I mean it was in Stars and Stripes. Mr. LIEBELER. John was in the Air Force at that time? Miss MURRET. Yes. Mr. LIEBELER. You didn't bring the subject up of Lee at all as to why he went? Miss MURRET. No, sir. Mr. LIEBELER. Did he indicate anything about his experiences in Russia other than what you have already told us?
