United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. MURRET. Well, the only thing I can think of; like I say, it just so
happens that I was home all the time, but the telephone rang, you know,
for him getting a job or some employment agencies calling up asking,
you know, for him to contact the employment agencies because they had
located him a job and so forth, and the only thing I can recollect
is an employment agency calling me up one night, and couldn't get in
contact with him, and I had to call the particular coffee plant the
next day, you know, saying that the agency wants to see you, you know,
right away, he has a job located for you--in photography I think it
was. So I had called him, and that was about the end of that.
Mr. LIEBELER. You did call Lee?
Mr. MURRET. Yes, sir.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you reach him at the coffee plant?
Mr. MURRET. Yes, sir.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did he say anything when you told him that this
employment agency was looking for him?
Mr. MURRET. No; I was just hoping that this was the job that he was
looking for. Other than that, that is all.
Mr. LIEBELER. Do you remember the name of the employment agency?
Mr. MURRET. No, sir; I don't. They had maybe one or two that called up,
different ones, but it was amazing--not amazing, but evidently when he
was applying for these particular jobs he must have impressed them such
that they would let him know one way or the other, you know, whether
they had a job for him or not, rather than just pass it by.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did Lee own a suit of clothes?
Mr. MURRET. I think he did; yes, sir. It was during the summer, and it
was a woolen suit more so than a summer suit.
Mr. LIEBELER. Do you know whether he wore that suit when he went
looking for a job?
Mr. MURRET. He might have wore it once; yes, sir. That was the only
suit he had that I know of.
Mr. LIEBELER. How much luggage did Lee have with him when he stayed out
at the place on French Street?
Mr. MURRET. I couldn't say. Just the bag that I saw, you know, just the
handbag which is similar to--you know, like a basketball equipment bag.
Mr. LIEBELER. Something like an airline bag?
Mr. MURRET. Yes; something like that.
Mr. LIEBELER. Just a soft----
Mr. MURRET. Right, just a small bag.
Mr. LIEBELER. You don't remember what color it was?
Mr. MURRET. No, sir.
Mr. LIEBELER. If you can't think of anything else that you can remember
or that you think would be helpful, I have no more questions at this
point.
Mr. MURRET. O.K.
Mr. LIEBELER. I want to thank you very much.
