Mr. Liebeler.

Do you have any personal knowledge of the background of Dr. Reissman, other than as set forth in your memorandum?

Mr. Martello.

No, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you know what he teaches at Tulane University?

Mr. Martello.

No, sir; I do not.

Mr. Liebeler.

Further on in your report there is a reference to another professor at Tulane by the name of La Violette, and you indicate on that you had some recollection that this professor allegedly had possession of Fair Play for Cuba literature in 1962. Do you remember any of the details of that?

Mr. Martello.

No, sir; I do not.

Mr. Liebeler.

Was there any investigation conducted of this particular professor in an attempt to determine whether he was associated with Oswald in any way?

Mr. Martello.

No, sir; there was not.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did Oswald indicate to you in any way that he himself knew either of these two professors or any other professor at Tulane University, or had ever had anything to do with them or with other professors?

Mr. Martello.

He did not indicate by name, but there was a meeting place on Pine Street, the 1000 block of Pine Street in New Orleans, where there were meetings held.

Mr. Liebeler.

This is meetings of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee?

Mr. Martello.

No, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

What kind of meeting?

Mr. Martello.

Just meetings by other groups. There was no indication of any names, but I had asked him if he held his meetings on Pine Street, and he reflected---only in gesture that there was some, or appeared to be some, connection between the two, but it is mere speculation upon my part.

Mr. Liebeler.

He didn't indicate one way or the other, directly or indirectly, that this was the case?

Mr. Martello.

No, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

From your memorandum it appears that Oswald told you that he had worked for the Jax Brewery about 1 1/2 months prior to the time of the interview. Did you make any check with the Jax Brewing Co. to determine whether or not this was a true statement?

Mr. Martello.

No, sir; I did not.

Mr. Liebeler.

You are unable to state at this time whether it is true or false that Oswald worked at the Jax Brewery?

Mr. Martello.

That is correct, sir. I am unable to state that as a fact.

Mr. Liebeler.

You also indicate that you terminated your interview with Oswald, and he was permitted to use the telephone, apparently as a result of which a Mrs. Murat--spelled M-u-r-a-t in the memorandum, but I believe it is correctly spelled M-u-r-r-a-t--

Mr. Martello.

That is right.

Mr. Liebeler.

Appeared at the station. Did you personally talk to this woman who came to the station?

Mr. Martello.

That is correct, sir; I did.

Mr. Liebeler.

And you set forth in your memorandum the statements made by Mrs. Murret and the position that she took with regard to this whole thing, and that is a correct summary of the events that occurred with regard to Mrs. Murret, is it not?

Mr. Martello.

That is correct.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you form any impression of this woman's feelings about Oswald or her attitude toward this whole event?

Mr. Martello.

Yes, sir; I did. She gave me the impression that she wanted to help him and she didn't want to become involved, due to the affiliation, as he stated he was a member of the Fair Play for Cuba, and she was leery on becoming involved in obtaining his release. I explained to her the release procedure whereby, if she desired to assist him in being released from jail by parole or bond and she didn't want to become involved in the release procedure--but she did give me the impression that she was interested in him, as a relative, I imagine.
