You don't have to do that unless you wish, but I would appreciate
knowing what you prefer to do, because if you wish to read your
deposition and to sign it, then we will have to have the reporter write
it out promptly and have the U.S. attorney call you in and then you may
come down and read your deposition and sign it.
Mrs. PETERMAN. Well, as far as I can; I have told the truth about
everything, you know, as much as I remember. Like I said, about the
ages of the children and all, I am not positive. This was so long ago.
Mr. JENNER. Well, I think you were pretty close.
Mrs. PETERMAN. After 23 years you can't remember like just yesterday,
or the day before.
Mr. JENNER. Well, all right then, as far as you are concerned, you
would just as soon waive the signing of the deposition, is that right?
You don't want to read it over and sign it?
Mrs. PETERMAN. Yes, sir; I waive it.
Mr. JENNER. Very well, and thank you again for coming down, Mrs.
Peterman.
TESTIMONY OF MRS. MYRTLE EVANS
The testimony of Mrs. Myrtle Evans was taken on April 7, 1964, at the
Old Civil Courts Building, Royal and Conti Streets, New Orleans, La.,
by Mr. Albert E. Jenner, Jr., assistant counsel of the President's
Commission.
Mrs. Myrtle Evans, 1910 Prytania Street, New Orleans, La., after first
being duly sworn, testified as follows:
Mr. JENNER. You are Mrs. Myrtle Evans, is that right?
Mrs. EVANS. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. And your husband is Julian Evans, and he accompanied you
here today, is that right?
Mrs. EVANS. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. He is waiting outside until you complete your deposition?
Mrs. EVANS. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Mrs. Evans, are you a native of New Orleans?
Mrs. EVANS. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. And your husband?
Mrs. EVANS. Yes; he was born in New York, but he was raised in New
Orleans.
Mr. JENNER. And you were born here?
Mrs. EVANS. Yes; I was.
Mr. JENNER. And you have no family, is that right?
Mrs. EVANS. That's right. Well, I have no immediate family. I have
brothers and sisters, but I don't have any children.
Mr. JENNER. All right. Are you acquainted with a person named
Marguerite Oswald?
Mrs. EVANS. Yes; she was a very good friend of mine.
Mr. JENNER. When did you first become acquainted with her?
Mrs. EVANS. In about 1930.
Mr. JENNER. About 1930?
Mrs. EVANS. Something like that.
Mr. JENNER. She was then about 26 or 27 years old, is that right?
Mrs. EVANS. Well, I guess that's about right.
Mr. JENNER. She is either 56 or 57 right now.
Mrs. EVANS. Well, yes; she was about that then, I guess. I had met her
between 1925 and 1930, about that time. I played cards with her.
Mr. JENNER. What kind of cards? Bridge?
Mrs. EVANS. We played bridge, yes.
Mr. JENNER. How did you become acquainted with her?
Mrs. EVANS. Well, through a friend, a mutual friend--hers and mine, and
we used to play bridge together.
Mr. JENNER. Was she married then?
Mrs. EVANS. She was separated from her first husband.
