Mrs. Murret.

say about her, you know, for a woman alone. She would have never done anything she wasn't supposed to do, even though she was in dire circumstances, and so forth, but one thing would come on like that, and she would just act up very quickly, like I told you, if she didn't like something happening or something you did or said, something like that. Of course, there are always two sides to every story, and I don't know the other side. I only know one side.

Mr. Jenner.

Would you say that Lee lived with you from about 1939 to 1941?

Mrs. Murret.

Yes; I guess it was along in there. It's hard to remember those dates exactly, that's been so long ago.

Mr. Jenner.

Did he live at any time at 1010 Bartholomew Street in New Orleans?

Mrs. Murret.

Yes; they did. That's the house I was trying to recollect that she bought, I think, after she left this Alvar Street residence. She bought this house on Bartholomew.

Mr. Jenner.

And she lived there about a year; is that right?

Mrs. Murret.

I don't know how long she lived there.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you recall her living at 2136 Broadway in New Orleans?

Mrs. Murret.

What street?

Mr. Jenner.

Broadway.

Mrs. Murret.

No; I don't.

Mr. Jenner.

2136 Broadway?

Mrs. Murret.

No.

Mr. Jenner.

That was just a month, about the middle of August to about the 10th of September 1942.

Mrs. Murret.

I know nothing of that.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you recall their residing at 227 Atlantic Avenue in Algiers?

Mrs. Murret.

No, I don't. That's possibly where the boys were over there. Is that an orphanage, or whatever it was?

Mr. Jenner.

I don't know. Is there an orphanage over at Algiers?

Mrs. Murret.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

That's not the Bethlehem place, is it?

Mrs. Murret.

No, I don't know what orphanage that was, but they were over there in Algiers, and then they were transferred from Algiers to Bethlehem down here in New Orleans.

Mr. Jenner.

Where is Bethlehem located, this Bethlehem institution?

Mrs. Murret.

It's way down off of St. Claude Street somewhere, way down on the other end of town. I don't think it's there any more. It could be. It was a very old place.

Mr. Jenner.

I have said that she married Mr. Ekdahl in 1948. I am afraid I am wrong about that. I think that was 1945 that she married him, which squares more with your recollection.

Mrs. Murret.

Yes, I think so, because that's what I thought. Lee was around 5, and you had him down as 8, and I couldn't recollect having him at 8 years old.

Mr. Jenner.

You were right in your recollection. Now, what town in Texas was it that they moved to?

Mrs. Murret.

I think it was Fort Worth.

Mr. Jenner.

They moved to Fort Worth?

Mrs. Murret.

Yes, I think so.

Mr. Jenner.

Was that address 4801 Victor? Does that refresh your recollection on that?

Mrs. Murret.

Well, she lived a couple of places, you know. Do you mean after she married Mr. Ekdahl and moves to Texas, to Fort Worth?

Mr. Jenner.

Yes.

Mrs. Murret.

I don't know the address at that time. I just don't recollect that address, because she lived in some other places too. I really don't know.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you recall whether she ever lived in Dallas?

Mrs. Murret.

I never knew she lived in Dallas.

Mr. Jenner.

Is the town of Benbrook, Tex., familiar to you?

Mrs. Murret.

No; you see, I hadn't heard. from her. You see, she went from New York to Texas. That was about 2 years later, I think. I just don't know that I remember her saying that she bought some property some place in Texas, and she couldn't keep it up, and she probably mortgaged it to this man on a
