Warren Commission (08 of 26): Hearings Vol. VIII (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. BOUDREAUX. Yes, I did.
Mr. JENNER. In which was enclosed a copy of Senate Joint Resolution
137, which authorized the creation of the Commission to investigate the
assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, is that right?
Mrs. BOUDREAUX. Yes; I have the letter with me.
Mr. JENNER. And the order of Lyndon B. Johnson, the President of the
United States, bringing the Commission into existence and fixing its
powers and duties?
Mrs. BOUDREAUX. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And a copy of our rules and regulations under which we take
testimony before the Commission and also by way of deposition, such as
this one?
Mrs. BOUDREAUX. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. All right. I therefore take it you understand from
those documents that the Commission was authorized and appointed
to investigate all the facts and circumstances surrounding the
assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy on the 22d of
November 1963?
Mrs. BOUDREAUX. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. I am Albert E. Jenner, Jr., member of the legal staff, of
the Commission, and I would like to inquire of you a little bit to see
if you can't give us some information that will help the Commission in
its investigation.
Mrs. BOUDREAUX. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. We are seeking to elicit from those who came into contact
with Lee Harvey Oswald and his brothers and his mother and others,
information that may be helpful to the Commission in its work, and the
Commission very much appreciates your coming down here today, because
these are always a little inconvenient, of course.
Mrs. BOUDREAUX. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. All right. Now, Mrs. Boudreaux, you live at 831 Pauline
Street, is that right?
Mrs. BOUDREAUX. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. How long have you lived at 831 Pauline?
Mrs. BOUDREAUX. Since 1932--no, I beg your pardon, 1942; since June 15,
1942.
Mr. JENNER. 1942, rather than 1932?
Mrs. BOUDREAUX. Yes, that's right. I wasn't thinking right.
Mr. JENNER. By the way, are you a native of this part of the country?
Mrs. BOUDREAUX. Yes, I am.
Mr. JENNER. You were born here and reared here?
Mrs. BOUDREAUX. I was born in Louisiana, yes.
Mr. JENNER. And your husband?
Mrs. BOUDREAUX. My husband too.
Mr. JENNER. And you have a family?
Mrs. BOUDREAUX. Yes, I do.
Mr. JENNER. How many children?
Mrs. BOUDREAUX. I have five children.
Mr. JENNER. What are their ages, Mrs. Boudreaux?
Mrs. BOUDREAUX. 22, 17, two 16's, and one 11.
Mr. JENNER. Two 16's?
Mrs. BOUDREAUX. That's right.
Mr. JENNER. Now, who was the previous occupant of your home, if you
know?
Mrs. BOUDREAUX. Mrs. Oswald.
Mr. JENNER. That's Mrs. Marguerite Oswald?
Mrs. BOUDREAUX. Yes, Marguerite Oswald.
Mr. JENNER. Did you become acquainted with her?
Mrs. BOUDREAUX. No, I did not.
Mr. JENNER. You did not?
Mrs. BOUDREAUX. No, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Do you know to where she moved when you took over that
house?
Mrs. BOUDREAUX. No, I do not.
Mr. JENNER. That home is a single family dwelling, is it not?
Mrs. BOUDREAUX. It's a double house.
