United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. EVANS. He was very high caliber, a very fine man, and he had a
very fine position. The papers said she was dragged from pillar to
post, but that wasn't true. It was his work that took them to places.
That's why she went to New York, because of his position. He didn't
drag her from pillar to post at all. I don't know what happened to them
then, because I didn't see them again. He died, and that's when she
moved back to New Orleans, and they stayed in my apartment building.
Now, I visited her in Dallas, and I knew Eddie Ekdahl.
Mr. JENNER. Did you know Mr. Ekdahl before he married her?
Mrs. EVANS. I did.
Mr. JENNER. That was his second marriage, isn't that right?
Mrs. EVANS. Yes; so she said. He had been separated from his wife for
many years, but had never gotten a divorce, I don't think, so then he
did get a divorce and married Margie.
Mr. JENNER. Do you remember where he was from originally?
Mrs. EVANS. Boston, I think.
Mr. JENNER. Is it your recollection that they moved to Dallas, Tex.?
Mrs. EVANS. They did.
Mr. JENNER. Did you visit them in Dallas?
Mrs. EVANS. I did.
Mr. JENNER. Was that address 4801 Victor?
Mrs. EVANS. I don't remember that, because I went there with a friend
of mine, to the Baker Hotel, I think it was. I used to go around with
this friend of mine. She was with Mary Douglas Perfumes, and Margie was
living there with her husband at the time, and the two children, when I
visited her.
Mr. JENNER. Her husband and her two children?
Mrs. EVANS. Well, her three children, I mean, were with her.
Mr. JENNER. Including Lee?
Mrs. EVANS. Yes; I went and stayed a few days with her, but the address
I don't remember. We didn't correspond during those years, but that
could have been the address. It was a duplex, I know, and she lived
downstairs, and she rented out the upstairs.
Mr. JENNER. At that time Lee was around 6 years old, is that right?
Mrs. EVANS. Yes; just about at the kindergarten stage. Let's see--yes,
she lived downstairs, and she rented out the upstairs.
Mr. JENNER. When you visited there, were the two boys, John and Robert,
living at the home?
Mrs. EVANS. Yes; they all lived together.
Mr. JENNER. And Lee, too?
Mrs. EVANS. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. The nature of Mr. Ekdahl's work was such that he had to
travel, you say?
