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
Mr. JENNER. Well, I wouldn't be interested right now in what your wife
told you, because we have taken her deposition, but I just want to know
what you know of the family and your impressions of them, and so forth.
Mr. EVANS. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Were you married to Mrs. Evans when the Oswalds lived at
1454 St. Mary?
Mr. EVANS. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. You were?
Mr. EVANS. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Tell me about that. How did that come about? How did you
first come to know them.
Mr. EVANS. Well, she came to town, and she wanted an apartment.
Mr. JENNER. From where did she come?
Mr. EVANS. Well, she was living here with her sister, and they couldn't
get along, or something.
Mr. JENNER. Lillian Murret, is that who you are talking about?
Mr. EVANS. Yes; her sister; she lives downtown.
Mr. JENNER. Lillian Murret?
Mr. EVANS. That's right.
Mr. JENNER. And she is Marguerite's sister?
Mr. EVANS. Yes; I think her and the boys were living there, and they
couldn't get along, or something, so they looked for an apartment, and
she asked my wife if she knew about a place anywhere that she might
rent, or if she had a place, and so then they moved into the apartment
right next to us, and there was some disagreement about the apartment,
or something, and my wife told her she could give her the apartment,
but not for the same amount of money, or something like that--I don't
know exactly how all that took place, but my wife can tell you that,
but anyway she got mad and left, and they moved down in the French
Quarter.
Mr. JENNER. Do you know where?
Mr. EVANS. Well, it's some little short street down in the French
Quarter, you know, right off of Canal. It's not such a good
neighborhood, a lot of poolrooms and places like that.
Mr. JENNER. Would that be Exchange Alley?
Mr. EVANS. Exchange Alley, yes; that's it. We took them on vacation one
time on a week end across the lake with us.
Mr. JENNER. You did?
Mr. EVANS. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Tell me about that.
Mr. EVANS. We took them over to my sister-in-law's place, across the
lake.
Mr. JENNER. When you say across the lake, which lake is that?
Mr. EVANS. Lake Pontchartrain.
Mr. JENNER. And where's your sister-in-law's place across the lake?
