(Testimony of Mrs. Lillian Murret Resumed)

Mr. Jenner.
husband's name is O'Brien, and they live at 1615 Fairway, Beaumont, Tex., is that right?
Mrs. Murret.
Right.
Mr. Jenner.
You have a son, Dr. Charles W. Murrett, a dentist, who has an office at 1207 West Bernard, Chalmette, La.; you have a son Gene, and that's spelled E-u-g-e-n-e. who is studying for the priesthood, and who lives at 3959 Loyola Avenue, Mobile, Ala.. is that right?
Mrs. Murret.
Right.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, he has a desigation of S.J. What is that?
Mrs. Murret.
Society of Jesus.
Mr. Jenner.
And he's the boy who attended law school, is that right?
Mrs. Murret.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And a fine student?
Mrs. Murret.
He certainly was.
Mr. Jenner.
And he is unmarried?
Mrs. Murret.
Well, you can't be married and be a Jesuit.
Mr. Jenner.
And your son John lives at 6622 Louis XIV, is that right?
Mrs. Murret.
Right.
Mr. Jenner.
In New Orleans?
Mrs. Murret.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And then your daughter Marilyn, she lives with you, is that right?
Mrs. Murret.
Right.
Mr. Jenner.
She's unmarried?
Mrs. Murret.
Unmarried. She says you have to want to get married to get married.
Mr. Jenner.
She doesn't want to get married?
Mrs. Murret.
That's right. She says that's not for her. Now, Charles didn't see Lee at all.
Mr. Jenner.
Charles is your dentist son?
Mrs. Murret.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
But your daughter Marilyn did, and John did, and you have told us about Gene and your daughter Joyce they did, is that right?
Mrs. Murret.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And of course your husband?
Mrs. Murret.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Were you ever in their apartment on Magazine Street, Mrs. Murret?
Mrs. Murret.
Just that morning when we went there.
Mr. Jenner.
That's the morning that they arrived, Mrs. Paine and Marina--arrived from Irving, Tex.?
Mrs. Murret.
Right. We took them home that night, and I was there then.
Mr. Jenner.
Did Lee ever speak of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy or Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy?
Mrs. Murret.
He said one time that he thought Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy was a very fine person, and that he admired her for going around with her husband, and so forth, but he never spoke about that again, or never said anything about it. In fact, I think he said he liked him.
Mr. Jenner.
Liked President Kennedy?
Mrs. Murret.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
What about Lee Oswald's habits? Was he a drinking man, for example?
Mrs. Murret.
I never knew of Lee to drink or smoke. In fact, when I read about, you know, after the assassination, about finding cigarettes there in that room, I was surprised, because I have never known of Lee to smoke. Now, Marina said he didn't want her to smoke. She said she had learned to smoke in Russia when other Americans had given her cigarettes, but that Lee didn't want her to smoke at all. We see nothing wrong in smoking, except that Lee just didn't want her to smoke. I see now where Dr. Ochsner doesn't want anybody to smoke. My boys don't smoke.
Mr. Jenner.
As far as you know, did Lee ever live in a rooming house around here?
