United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JENNER. What are your boys, right handed or left handed?
Mr. MURRET. They are all right handed.
Mr. JENNER. Did they ever loan their equipment, particularly gloves, to
Lee Oswald?
Mr. MURRET. Not to my knowledge.
Mr. JENNER. Not that you know of?
Mr. MURRET. That's right.
Mr. JENNER. Well, I think it's no secret that Mrs. Murret, your wife,
did lend one of their gloves to Lee Harvey Oswald one time to play ball
when he was in high school; did you know that?
Mr. MURRET. Well, she could have.
Mr. JENNER. She could have, and you wouldn't have known about it?
Mr. MURRET. That's right.
Mr. JENNER. But all of those gloves would have been gloves for boys who
are right handers then, isn't that right, since all three of your boys
are right handed?
Mr. MURRET. Yes, that's right. They are all right handers.
Mr. JENNER. Then the gloves were for the left hand, is that correct?
Mr. MURRET. Yes, that's correct, the left hand.
Mr. JENNER. Do you know Marguerite Oswald?
Mr. MURRET. Oh, yes, I know her. I never could get along with her.
Mr. JENNER. You couldn't get along with her?
Mr. MURRET. No; she was quite a bit younger than my wife.
Mr. JENNER. You're talking about Lillian Murret, your wife, and
Marguerite's sister, now, is that right?
Mr. MURRET. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Do you know a man by the name of John Pic, or Ed Pic?
Mr. MURRET. Ed is all I knew him by.
Mr. JENNER. Did you see him once in a while?
Mr. MURRET. Oh, I saw him just by chance.
Mr. JENNER. But you did see him once in a while over the years, is that
right?
Mr. MURRET. Oh, yes and I still do, as a matter of fact, but not very
often. He has been with T. Smith, Stevedores, for many, many years.
Mr. JENNER. Does he have a responsible position with T. Smith?
Mr. MURRET. Oh, I imagine, because he has been there for so many years.
Mr. JENNER. Was he ever a stevedore?
Mr. MURRET. I think he has just been an office man, to my knowledge,
but his firm is in that line of business.
Mr. JENNER. Do you remember his marriage to Marguerite Claverie?
Mr. MURRET. Well, I didn't attend the wedding.
Mr. JENNER. But you knew they were married?
Mr. MURRET. Oh, yes.
Mr. JENNER. And do you know that some difficulty arose eventually in
that marriage?
Mr. MURRET. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. They didn't get along?
Mr. MURRET. That's right.
Mr. JENNER. And they separated?
Mr. MURRET. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Since your wife has given us most of that information, we
will just skip some of that, but that marriage did end in divorce, is
that right?
Mr. MURRET. Yes, it did.
Mr. JENNER. They had one child, John Edward Pic, is that right?
Mr. MURRET. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Did you see them once in a while during this period?
Mr. MURRET. Yes; they lived close in the neighborhood, so I would see
them pretty often.
Mr. JENNER. Do you remember her divorce from John Pic and subsequent
marriage to a man by the name of Lee Oswald?
Mr. MURRET. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. What business was he in?
