Warren Commission (08 of 26): Hearings Vol. VIII (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Miss MURRET. No.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you know?
Miss MURRET. No; I don't know if it was a mechanical one or----
Mr. LIEBELER. Did he seem to be satisfied with his job?
Miss MURRET. He said it was all right.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did he impress you as having strong feelings about things
or not?
Miss MURRET. He didn't talk that much when he was over here, he really
didn't. I mean once, when I asked him several things about Russia, he
said nothing other than what I told you, in very general terms. I asked
him how he liked his job, and he said it was all right, that it wasn't
any different from any other factory. Most people seem to think that he
had a desire to do something that would show that he was somebody. But
he didn't strike me as being that way. I think he really thought he was
somebody.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did he strike you as being a person of integrity?
Miss MURRET. Perfectly content--I mean he thought he was extremely
intelligent.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you think he was?
Miss MURRET. I thought that he was very articulate, but I mean I never
discussed anything with him in any great length to know whether or not
he knew what he was talking about.
Mr. LIEBELER. How did you form the impression that he was very
articulate? You had the impression that he didn't talk very much?
Miss MURRET. No; but I mean his accent was very good. I mean he
pronounced every syllable and the word endings were always pronounced,
and he didn't talk very--he was just very quiet. If he didn't want to
answer something, he didn't answer. You could be with somebody like
that a year, and you would get no answers--if he didn't care to give
them.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you ever feel particularly close to him, or that you
had any peculiar or any real rapport with the man at all?
Miss MURRET. Well, I regarded him because he was my cousin, I guess. I
mean I wanted to see him settled and happy, naturally; and if I could
have helped him in any way, just as my mother, we all would have. I
mean he didn't have too easy a life. I liked Lee. He didn't strike me
as being violent or definitely not one who could commit such an act.
Mr. LIEBELER. Do you think that Lee would be liked by most people?
Miss MURRET. No.
Mr. LIEBELER. Why not?
Miss MURRET. Because he wasn't friendly. He would be liked by a certain
type of person and hated by other types.
