United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. LIEBELER. What kind of neighborhood was it in?
Miss MURRET. On Magazine--I don't know about Magazine, but I don't
think Magazine is too good. But the apartment was all newly furnished.
They had a new icebox, I believe, and the other furniture was all
refinished, and the walls newly painted.
Mr. LIEBELER. You mentioned before that you had discussed religion with
Lee; and had you ever discussed politics with him at all?
Miss MURRET. He never mentioned anything of any political significance
at all, never.
Mr. LIEBELER. Never said anything about President Kennedy?
Miss MURRET. No, sir.
Mr. LIEBELER. Or Governor Connally?
Miss MURRET. No; but I can't remember whether it was--if that
was before or if it was on that program, where he said something
complimentary about Kennedy, but he never mentioned anyone else.
Mr. LIEBELER. What program are you referring to?
Miss MURRET. That might have been when they showed when he was
interviewed after the Fair Play for Cuba, because it was after the
assassination that they reran that.
Mr. LIEBELER. That was a television program?
Miss MURRET. Yes; television.
Mr. LIEBELER. And you say that you saw it after the assassination?
Miss MURRET. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. And you don't recall, but you think the man said
something complimentary about Kennedy on that?
Miss MURRET. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. And other than that you never heard him speak of
President Kennedy?
Miss MURRET. No.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did he ever talk about Civil Rights, and particularly the
Negro?
Miss MURRET. No.
Mr. LIEBELER. You mentioned when he was younger that he made it a
point, or at least, he did sit down on the streetcar right next to some
Negroes, and he got in trouble with his friends over that?
Miss MURRET. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. Do you have any idea what motivated that, or whether it
was just a rebellious kind of thing?
Miss MURRET. I don't think he knew any better. He didn't know the cars
were segregated, I don't think. I don't know. I just remember my mother
telling me whether or not he knew, or whether he did it, you know,
defiantly--I don't know.
Mr. LIEBELER. You mentioned you were not in New Orleans during July and
August of 1963, and where were you?
Miss MURRET. I went to Mexico and all through Central America and
Panama.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you travel by yourself?
Miss MURRET. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. How did you travel?
Miss MURRET. By bus and station wagon.
Mr. LIEBELER. Your own station wagon?
Miss MURRET. No; public transportation.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you know that Oswald went to Mexico in September?
Miss MURRET. No.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you read about that in the newspapers after the
assassination?
Miss MURRET. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. But prior to that time you didn't know that he either
planned to go to Mexico or he was going to Mexico, or had gone to
Mexico, or was even thinking about going to Mexico?
Miss MURRET. No.
