(Testimony of Mrs. Lillian Murret Resumed)

Mrs. Murret.
Well, I asked him over the telephone where he was, and he said he was at the bus station, and when I asked him to come out, he came right on out, and when he came into my house, I think he was only carrying just a little handbag, they call it.
Mr. Jenner.
What color was it?
Mrs. Murret.
Possibly it was brown.
Mr. Jenner.
Brown?
Mrs. Murret.
I think so.
Mr. Jenner.
What kind of material was it?
Mrs. Murret.
What the handbag was made of?
Mr. Jenner.
Yes.
Mrs. Murret.
I think it was just cloth.
Mr. Jenner.
A cloth bag?
Mrs. Murret.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Did he have it in just one hand?
Mrs. Murret.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
It was not a Marine duffelbag or anything like that?
Mrs. Murret.
Oh, no.
Mr. Jenner.
It wasn't too large, then?
Mrs. Murret.
No; it was small.
Mr. Jenner.
The witness indicates about 14 inches.
Mrs. Murret.
It was just an ordinary bag, like athletes use to put their clothes in, something like that.
Mr. Jenner.
And that's all he had on that occasion? You are sure of that?
Mrs. Murret.
When he arrived at the house; yes, sir. But he had things over at the bus station.
Mr. Jenner.
I see.
Mrs. Murret.
He had a duffelbag and some boxes over there, I know.
Mr. Jenner.
How do you know that?
Mrs. Murret.
How do I know that?
Mr. Jenner.
Yes.
Mrs. Murret.
Because I asked Mr. Murret to go over to the bus station and pick up all that stuff and bring it back to the house, which he did, and they put it in the garage. He wanted to leave it there until he found an apartment.
Mr. Jenner.
And did Mr. Murret go to the bus station with Lee?
Mrs. Murret.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
That evening?
Mrs. Murret.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
In your automobile?
Mrs. Murret.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And he picked up the materials at the bus station and other packages; is that right?
Mrs. Murret.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Were you home when they came back from the bus station?
Mrs. Murret.
I might have been inside. I didn't go into the garage, if that's what you mean, but that's where they put the things, in the garage.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you see anything in the garage eventually?
Mrs. Murret.
Well, I saw a duffelbag out there, and I saw ordinary cardboard boxes with things in them, and I don't know what was in anything. It had U.S. Marine written over it.
Mr. Jenner.
Over the duffelbag?
Mrs. Murret.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
How many duffelbags were there?
Mrs. Murret.
Quite a few, I think.
Mr. Jenner.
More than two duffelbags?
Mrs. Murret.
I could be wrong, but I think there were more.
Mr. Jenner.
Would you say that there were at least two duffelbags, and that there could have been more than two?
Mrs. Murret.
Yes. I think some of the boxes must have contained baby clothes and things like that, and in fact, I was wondering how in the world he got all of that stuff on the bus. I never did ask him, but he really had a load of stuff with him. It was all there at the bus station though.
