Mr. JENNER. Now, tell me what you recall his luggage consisted of at
that time?
Mr. MURRET. Well, I'll tell you; it might have been a duffelbag, or
something; I'm not sure of that. I don't remember what all it was.
Mr. JENNER. Did he have a Marine duffelbag, like soldiers use--that
sort of thing?
Mr. MURRET. Well, it was a bag; I guess it was a duffelbag.
Mr. JENNER. Did it have a name on it?
Mr. MURRET. I didn't see any.
Mr. JENNER. Do you remember going in your car to the bus station to get
his luggage?
Mr. MURRET. Yes; I remember doing that.
Mr. JENNER. And you drove?
Mr. MURRET. Yes; I drove.
Mr. JENNER. Could Lee drive a car, to your knowledge?
Mr. MURRET. Not to my knowledge.
Mr. JENNER. Did he ever drive a car, to your knowledge?
Mr. MURRET. No.
Mr. JENNER. Did you ever see him driving an automobile?
Mr. MURRET. No.
Mr. JENNER. How many duffelbags were there?
Mr. MURRET. I think there were two of them.
Mr. JENNER. What else did he have?
Mr. MURRET. That's all that I know of.
Mr. JENNER. Did he have any cardboard boxes?
Mr. MURRET. Not that I know of.
Mr. JENNER. Did he have any suitcases?
Mr. MURRET. Not that I saw; I don't think he had any suitcases.
Mr. JENNER. Well, you put this luggage in your car, didn't you?
Mr. MURRET. No; I didn't.
Mr. JENNER. Did he do that?
Mr. MURRET. Yes; he put them in my car.
Mr. JENNER. Did you see him doing that?
Mr. MURRET. Yes; I saw him.
Mr. JENNER. Did you stay close to the locker in which this luggage was
contained?
Mr. MURRET. No; I don't believe I did. I sat at the wheel of the car.
I asked him if he wanted a lift, but he said no, but I know he had two
duffelbags at least. I sat at the wheel of the car, to my knowledge.
Mr. JENNER. All right; you reached home, right?
Mr. MURRET. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Was the car unpacked then?
Mr. MURRET. Yes; by Lee.
Mr. JENNER. Lee did the unpacking?
Mr. MURRET. Yes; he didn't want any help, so I didn't help him.
Mr. JENNER. What was your impression of Lee then, after he had appeared
at your house after all those years?
Mr. MURRET. Well, I don't know, but I just couldn't warm up to him, but
he said he wanted to find a job and get an apartment and then send for
his wife in Texas, so I wasn't going to stand in his way.
Mr. JENNER. Did he get an apartment?
Mr. MURRET. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Where was that?
Mr. MURRET. Oh, that was out on Magazine Street, but as far as the
number is concerned, I don't know it.
Mr. JENNER. Do you remember Lee's wife?
Mr. MURRET. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Marina?
Mr. MURRET. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. When he got the job, did he call his wife on the phone and
have her come over?
Mr. MURRET. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And did she come over with a Mrs. Paine?
Mr. MURRET. Yes; they drove on into New Orleans, and I met them, and
I told the lady, I said, "I'm glad to have met you," but if she would
walk in this door now, I wouldn't recognize her.
Mr. JENNER. By the lady, do you mean Mrs. Paine?
Mr. MURRET. That's right.
