United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Miss MURRET. Well, as I am saying, at first, I had no idea, when he
first came out, but then after I met them together, and then since the
assassination, of course, you know, how most of my thoughts are running
back because that happened, but after that time, I am saying that some
statements came out that he was very strict with her--I don't know. You
don't know in anybody else's house, I guess, but from all indications
they were perfectly happy. He was very devoted to Marina. He seemed to
love his child very much. And as I say, I am saying that he was very
well-mannered, he really was. And I mean if any other girl sat down,
he pulled the chair out, and the car door was opened to let her in
and out, and he does that for everybody. And, I don't know, she just
seemed to be perfectly happy, and that is when I really thought that
my imagination had just run away with me in the beginning, and that
probably I--and he seemed to--I don't know, but they just seemed to
be very family conscious and devoted. In fact, they were a real cute
couple.
Mr. LIEBELER. There wasn't anything about that that struck you as
peculiar or out of the ordinary?
Miss MURRET. No.
Mr. LIEBELER. You never heard of them having any marital difficulties
of any kind while they were here?
Miss MURRET. Only what I read.
Mr. LIEBELER. Only what you read in the paper after the assassination?
Miss MURRET. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. When Marina mentioned to you that Lee didn't want her to
smoke, did you detect any resentment on Marina's part over that?
Miss MURRET. No; not at all. It was just that a lot of husbands don't
want their wives to smoke, for that matter. I mean you can't--I
couldn't really type her either, with the language barrier, but I mean
she seemed to be very nice to older people. She also, when they did
eat there, she immediately went to do the dishes, you know. You know,
"Don't, Marina, I won't let you do anything like that," and when my
mother was around, she always saw that she had a seat. And, I mean, she
didn't seem to feel any resentment at all, although she said that she
had smoked before that.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did she indicate that she was satisfied with the apartment
or----
Miss MURRET. She didn't like it.
Mr. LIEBELER. She didn't like the apartment?
Miss MURRET. She said she, "No like. No like."
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you understand----
Miss MURRET. Well, she didn't like the high ceilings, and Lee had said
that he didn't think she would, if they had a high ceiling place. In
fact, when they went, she didn't like it. She said that she liked low
ceilings.
Mr. LIEBELER. And you said that you were in the apartment on one
occasion, is that correct?
Miss MURRET. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. Was it an appealing place, or was it decently furnished?
Miss MURRET. My mother and I had gone there, and I thought it was very
nice for the money, actually.
Mr. LIEBELER. Do you know how much he was paying for it?
Miss MURRET. Sixty-five.
