(Testimony of Mrs. Lillian Murret Resumed)

Mr. Jenner.
Yes.
Mrs. Murret.
He never did say why; no, sir. I was always under the impression that he was just tired of being over there and wanted to come back. We were trying to find out how in the world he got out with a Russian wife, and I asked him that question, and he told me that Immigration had loaned him the money, and he said that Marina's uncle had helped them to get out, and that he was a retired army general.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you have the impression that he was, oh, never quite satisfied with anything when he was in Russia, that when he was over there, he didn't like it?
Mrs. Murret.
Well, he didn't say that to me.
Mr. Jenner.
All right, now you say that Marina then came to New Orleans after he had called and said that he had found a job; is that right?
Mrs. Murret.
Yes; she came with Mrs. Paine.
Mr. Jenner.
Did Mrs. Paine drive her?
Mrs. Murret.
Yes; they came in Mrs. Paine's car. In fact, I think he got that apartment possibly on a Thursday.
Mr. Jenner.
At 4905 Magazine Street?
Mrs. Murret.
Yes, sir; Thursday or Friday, or whatever it was.
Mr. Jenner.
That was the ninth of September 1963; is that right?
Mrs. Murret.
I guess that was the date.
Mr. Jenner.
Did Lee move in on Monday?
Mrs. Murret.
No; Lee moved in right away, on Saturday. In fact, he moved in on the 10th, I think, or the 9th. Anyway after he got it, he moved in himself the next day, and then Marina came in on the Saturday.
Mr. Jenner.
Well, Saturday was the seventh, Sunday was the eighth, and Monday was the ninth.
Mrs. Murret.
Of May?
Mr. Jenner.
Oh, I am looking at September; I'm sorry. Now, let's see. The 9th of May was on a Thursday, and that's when he got the apartment, the 9th of May, and he moved in the next day; is that right?
Mrs. Murret.
That's right, and he came back to my house on that Saturday morning.
Mr. Jenner.
That's the 11th?
Mrs. Murret.
Yes; and Marina and Mrs. Paine were coming in on Saturday, and they arrived there about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, around that time, and then he took all the things he had out in the garage over to the apartment.
Mr. Jenner.
Were you present when he did that?
Mrs. Murret.
I went to see the apartment.
Mr. Jenner.
But were you present when he took the things out of your garage?
Mrs. Murret.
You mean in the garage?
Mr. Jenner.
Yes.
Mrs. Murret.
No; I ,wasn't.
Mr. Jenner.
You didn't get any better look at all the things that he had in the garage than you had that first day when your husband brought that stuff from the bus station and it was put in the corner of the garage?
Mrs. Murret.
No; I didn't. I was busy on the inside of the house when he took all that stuff over to the apartment, because we were all anxious to see---not all, but Marilyn and myself, wanted to see the apartment, so inasmuch as we had to bring the things up there, he loaded the car.
Mr. Jenner.
Your car?
Mrs. Murret.
Yes; our car. Mr. Murret drove the car up there.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you see them put the things in the car?
Mrs. Murret.
No; but they did put everything in the car.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you see them do that?
Mrs. Murret.
No; but Mr. Murret helped. I knew he was doing that. He had to do that. I didn't do it. I just wanted to go over there that first day and see the apartment, so I was trying to finish up inside, and I just noticed that he was loading the car, and that's something else, the reason why Mr. Murret is considered just such a gentleman. No woman in his presence ever picks up a package or anything like that.
