(Testimony of Julian Evans)

Mr. Evans.
Yes; everywhere.
Mr. Jenner.
In traveling on his job?
Mr. Evans.
That's right. They were living in Texas for awhile, I believe, and then he did some traveling in Texas, New York, and other places, but they would always take the boy with them when they went.
Mr. Jenner.
You and Mrs. Evans maintained somewhat of a friendship with Marguerite, did you not?
Mr. Evans.
That's right. Of course, my wife knew her more years than I did. She knew her a long time before she was even married.
Mr. Jenner.
That's right; our information shows that.
Mr. Evans.
She knew her when she lived down on Alvar Street.
Mr. Jenner.
That was before you had any contact with the Oswald family, is that right?
Mr. Evans.
That's right.
Mr. Jenner.
Has your wife given you any of the details regarding the background of the Oswald family?
Mr. Evans.
Yes; over the years we have discussed it.
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?
Mr. Evans.
At Sun, La. They are in the sand and gravel business over there, and they have a private pond to fish in, you know, and they stock it themselves
