(Testimony of Marilyn Dorothea Murret)

Mr. Liebeler.
I--and he seemed to--I don't .know, but they just seemed to be very family conscious and devoted. In fact, they were a real cute couple.
Mr. Liebeler.
There wasn't anything about that that struck you as peculiar or out of the ordinary?
Miss MURRET. No.
Mr. Liebeler.
You never heard of them having any marital difficulties of any kind while they were here?
Miss MURRET. Only what I read.
Mr. Liebeler.
Only what you read in the paper after the assassination?
Miss MURRET. Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
When Marina mentioned to you that Lee didn't want her to smoke, did you detect any resentment on Marina's part over that?
Miss MURRET. No; not at all. It was just that a lot of husbands don't want their wives to smoke, for that matter. I mean you can't--I couldn't really type her either, with the language barrier, but I mean she seemed to be very nice to older people. She also, when they did eat there, she immediately went to do the dishes, you know. You know, "Don't, Marina, I won't let you do anything like that," and when my mother was around, she always saw that she had a seat. And, I mean, she didn't seem to feel any resentment at all, although she said that she had smoked before that.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did she indicate that she was satisfied with the apartment or----
Miss MURRET. She didn't like it.
Mr. Liebeler.
She didn't like the apartment?
Miss MURRET. She said she, "No like. No like."
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you understand----
Miss MURRET. Well, she didn't like the high ceilings, and Lee had said that he didn't think she would, if they had a high ceiling place. In fact, when they went, she didn't like it. She said that she liked low ceilings.
Mr. Liebeler.
And you said that you were in the apartment on one occasion, is that correct?
Miss MURRET. Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Was it an appealing place, or was it decently furnished?
Miss MURRET. My mother and I had gone there, and I thought it was very nice for the money, actually.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you know how much he was paying for it?
Miss MURRET. Sixty-five.
Mr. Liebeler.
What kind of neighborhood was it in?
Miss MURRET. On Magazine I don't know about Magazine, but I don't think Magazine is too good. But the apartment was all newly furnished. They had a new icebox, I believe, and the other furniture was all refinished, and the walls newly painted.
Mr. Liebeler.
You mentioned before that you had discussed religion with Lee; and had you ever discussed politics with him at all?
Miss MURRET. He never mentioned anything of any political significance at all, never.
Mr. Liebeler.
Never said anything about President Kennedy?
Miss MURRET. No, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
Or Governor Connally?
Miss MURRET. No; but I can't remember whether it was---if that was before or if it was on that program, where he said something complimentary about Kennedy, but he never mentioned anyone else.
Mr. Liebeler.
What program are you referring to?
Miss MURRET. That might have been when they showed when he was interviewed after the Fair Play for Cuba, because it was after the assassination that they reran that.
Mr. Liebeler.
That was a television program?
Miss MURRET, Yes; television.
Mr. Liebeler.
And you say that you saw it after the assassination?
Miss MURRET. Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
And you don't recall, but you think the man said something complimentary about Kennedy on that?
