Mr. JENNER. So you let him do it by himself, right? Mr. MURRET. Absolutely. It didn't matter to me, if he wanted to go ahead and do it that way. I just, you know, lost all interest in him after all these things happened. You just couldn't figure him out. TESTIMONY OF JOHN M. MURRET The testimony of John M. Murret was taken on April 7-8, 1964, at the Old Civil Courts Building, Royal and Conti Streets, New Orleans, La., by Mr. Wesley J. Liebeler, assistant counsel of the President's Commission. John M. Murret, having been first duly sworn, was examined and testified as follows: Mr. LIEBELER. My name is Wesley J. Liebeler. I am a member of the legal staff of the President's Commission investigating the assassination of President Kennedy. Staff members have been authorized to take the testimony of witnesses by the Commission pursuant to authority granted to the Commission by Executive Order No. 11130, dated November 29, 1963, and Joint Resolution of Congress No. 137. I want to give you a copy of the Executive order and the joint resolution to which I have just referred, and also a copy of the rules of procedure adopted by the Commission governing the taking of testimony of witnesses. (Producing documents and handing to witness.) Those rules provide that technically a witness is entitled to 3 days' notice before he is required to testify before the Commission or to give testimony to a staff member. I know that you didn't get 3 days' notice. Witnesses are entitled to waive the notice requirement, and I hope and assume that you will be willing to do that since you are here, and we will go right ahead with the testimony. Are you willing to waive the 3 days' notice? Mr. MURRET. Yes, sir. Mr. LIEBELER. Thank you. We want to inquire of you briefly this morning concerning your contact with Lee Oswald while he was here in New Orleans during the summer of 1963. Before we get into the details of that, however, will you state your full name for the record. Mr. MURRET. My full name is John Martial Murret. Mr. LIEBELER. Where do you live? Mr. MURRET. 6622 Louis XIV Street, New Orleans, La. Mr. LIEBELER. Are you employed? Mr. MURRET. Yes, sir. Mr. LIEBELER. By whom? Mr. MURRET. E. R. Squibb and Sons. Mr. LIEBELER. How long have you worked for them? Mr. MURRET. Approximately 4 years. Mr. LIEBELER. What do you do for them? Mr. MURRET. I am a pharmaceutical sales representative. Mr. LIEBELER. Am I correct in understanding that you are Lee Harvey Oswald's cousin? Mr. MURRET. Yes, sir. Mr. LIEBELER. You are a brother to Marilyn Murret and the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ferdinand Murret? Mr. MURRET. Yes. Mr. LIEBELER. Mr. Charles Murret is also known as Dutz Murret, is he not, D-u-t-z? Mr. MURRET. Yes, sir. Mr. LIEBELER. Were you born here in New Orleans? Mr. MURRET. Yes, sir. Mr. LIEBELER. And you obtained your primary and secondary education here in the New Orleans school system? Mr. MURRET. Yes, sir.
