United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JENNER. But they did leave New Orleans again, after living at
Exchange Alley, didn't they?
Mr. MURRET. Yes; they went back to Texas. Do you mean the second time?
Mr. JENNER. Yes. Do you remember that?
Mr. MURRET. Yes; I recall my wife telling me that--that they had moved
back to Texas, but I don't know the date or anything like that.
Mr. JENNER. When was the next time that you saw either of them?
Mr. MURRET. Well, the next time was when he came to New Orleans, and
stayed at our house. That was just a year ago in May, I think. I don't
remember what month, but it was about that.
Mr. JENNER. About a year ago or in that neighborhood?
Mr. MURRET. Yes. That's when Lee came to town, and wanted to look for
an apartment, and said he was going to get a job, and that he would
like to stay with us until he found something.
Mr. JENNER. All right; now, tell us about that.
Mr. MURRET. Well, when I walked in the house, he was standing in the
kitchen.
Mr. JENNER. That was after you came home from work?
Mr. MURRET. That's right.
Mr. JENNER. You were surprised to see him?
Mr. MURRET. Yes; that's right. I was surprised all right.
Mr. JENNER. All right. What happened then?
Mr. MURRET. My wife said, "Do you recognize who this is?" and I said,
"Yes," and I said, "It looks like he has grown up or something." Of
course, he looked older, but he hadn't changed too much in appearance,
I don't think.
Mr. JENNER. Of course, this was Lee Oswald?
Mr. MURRET. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. The same boy, but you say he had grown up a little more, is
that right?
Mr. MURRET. That's right.
Mr. JENNER. Physically, at least?
Mr. MURRET. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Had you heard anything about him in the meantime?
Mr. MURRET. No.
Mr. JENNER. Not a thing?
Mr. MURRET. No.
Mr. JENNER. What did he tell you on that occasion?
Mr. MURRET. What did he tell me?
Mr. JENNER. Yes; didn't you help him put some stuff in your garage?
Didn't you go to the bus station and get his luggage and things and
bring them to the house?
Mr. MURRET. Did I help him?
Mr. JENNER. Yes.
Mr. MURRET. I don't remember that. I don't remember helping him with
any luggage, not that day.
Mr. JENNER. The next day?
Mr. MURRET. No; I don't believe it was even that next day. It was a
couple of days afterward.
Mr. JENNER. All right; it is your recollection that it was a couple of
days later, is that right?
Mr. MURRET. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Did you take him with you to pick up his luggage at the bus
station?
Mr. MURRET. No; I don't remember that.
Mr. JENNER. You don't remember that?
Mr. MURRET. No; I don't.
Mr. JENNER. Are you sure now?
Mr. MURRET. I don't remember.
Mr. JENNER. Would it be possible that you did that, but you just don't
remember it?
Mr. MURRET. You mean gone to the bus station with him?
Mr. JENNER. Yes; and picked up his luggage for him, and perhaps you
don't recall it at this time?
Mr. MURRET. I might have. I just don't remember.
