(Testimony of Mrs. Lillian Murret Resumed)

Mrs. Murret.
to their right hands, but then there are some children who never use their right hand, I don't think.
Mr. Jenner.
This was an impression you had of him as a very small boy though, is that right?
Mrs. Murret.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you ever see Lee write left handed?
Mrs. Murret.
When?
Mr. Jenner.
After he reached, say, high school age?
Mrs. Murret.
No; I didn't.
Mr. Jenner.
You never noticed it one way or the other?
Mrs. Murret.
No; I didn't.
Mr. Jenner.
When he was living with you during those 2 weeks, when they came back from New York, did you ever see him use his left hand?
Mrs. Murret.
I never noticed really.
Mr. Jenner.
Your boys are all right handed, is that right?
Mrs. Murret.
Oh, yes.
Mr. Jenner.
I remember you told me earlier today that Lee wanted to go out and play ball, and perhaps get on some team, is that right?
Mrs. Murret.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And you gave him, you said, a glove that belonged to one of your boys, is that right?
Mrs. Murret.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Well, wasn't that glove for a right-handed player, if it belonged to one of your boys, and they were all right handed?
Mrs. Murret.
Yes; that's right.
Mr. Jenner.
It was one of your boy's gloves, wasn't it?
Mrs. Murret.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you listen to the debate over the radio between Lee and the Cuban boy?
Mrs. Murret.
Well, he called.
Mr. Jenner.
Who, Lee?
Mrs. Murret.
Yes; Lee called and said he was going to talk on the radio, so--we were getting supper ready, because it was supposed to come on about then, but we forgot about it until after it started, but then we turned it on and did hear some of it.
Mr. Jenner.
You heard some of it?
Mrs. Murret.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Was there any discussion at any time about Lee's political views?
Mrs. Murret.
Not in my home.
Mr. Jenner.
And not with you?
Mrs. Murret.
No; and I don't think with any other member of my family.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you ever observe Lee, as far as his manual dexterity was concerned, his coordination?
Mrs. Murret.
No; I never paid too much attention to that. I know he wasn't prepared to do anything in life.
Mr. Jenner.
Was your son John attempting to teach him to drive an automobile? Did your son talk to you about that?
Mrs. Murret.
No ; he didn't say anything about that. I don't know what John had in mind. Anyway, they went riding, but they weren't gone too long, and then they came back.
Mr. Jenner.
Would it have been as long as a couple of hours?
Mrs. Murret.
No; not a couple of hours; just a spin around.
Mr. Jenner.
Did John report that, Lee could or could not drive? Did he say anything either way as to that?
Mrs. Murret.
You mean on that day?
Mr. Jenner.
Yes.
Mrs. Murret.
Well, we always felt that Lee didn't know how to drive.
Mr. Jenner.
As far as you know, he couldn't drive?
Mrs. Murret.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
Let's see if I have your family right now, if you will bear with me. You have a daughter, Mrs. Emile, and her given name is Joyce, and her
