United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Miss MURRET. The only thing he said was--I just didn't know any of
this would happen, and I didn't know he would be leaving and I thought
that he would say what he wanted to say, because I don't believe in
bombarding somebody with questions, I really don't, and what they want
to say, they say, and what they don't want to say, they don't say. So,
anyway, he said that he had better quarters than the average person
because he was an American, and they wanted to create a good impression
on him. Other than about the family and showing me a few photographs,
that is all he said. And he said that he had met Marina at this dance,
and he worked in the factory.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did he tell you what kind of factory?
Miss MURRET. No; he didn't.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did he tell you what he did?
Miss MURRET. No.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did he tell you how much he was paid?
Miss MURRET. No; maybe he did, but I wouldn't know what it was, anyway.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did he tell you about any travels that he had in the
Soviet Union?
Miss MURRET. Well, just that he said, and I don't know where he was
going or where he was when he said it, that these people let him spend
the night there and that they had less than he had. So if that was on
the outskirts, or where it was, I don't really know.
Mr. LIEBELER. Do you speak Russian?
Miss MURRET. No.
Mr. LIEBELER. Do you speak any foreign language?
Miss MURRET. I studied French and Spanish, but was hopeless.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did he tell you about any school that he might have gone
to when he was in Russia, any training that he might have gotten?
Miss MURRET. No sir; he didn't say anything at all about any kind of
training. When he first came out, I couldn't understand how he had
gotten out, in the first place.
Mr. LIEBELER. How he had gotten out of Russia to come back, you mean?
Miss MURRET. With a Russian wife, and he did say her father was--was he
a Russian officer? Anyway----
Mr. LIEBELER. Did he say her father----
Miss MURRET. He was, or she might have said that in her broken English,
so I couldn't conceive of how they had gotten out of Russia, and how he
had access to Russia, I mean to work there, et cetera, and then just
to be allowed to leave, with a Russian wife, and her father being in
the Army. And I think that she had an uncle--I don't know--but I think
it was in the papers, or in some magazine recently that he is with the
Intelligence Service in Russia.
Mr. LIEBELER. Her uncle?
Miss MURRET. Yes; he, supposedly, was the one who helped him to get
out. So, that I couldn't figure out.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you ask him about it? Did you ask Lee about that?
