(Testimony of Charles Murret)
Mr. Murret.
No; oh, I had a couple of bouts, but I never did make a career of it, or anything.
Mr. Jenner.
How old a man are you?
Mr. Murret.
63; just made 63.
Mr. Jenner.
You were born and raised in Louisiana?
Mr. Murret.
Yes; in New Orleans.
Mr. Jenner.
And your family were all born Americans?
Mr. Murret.
Right.
Mr. Jenner.
By the way, you have a fine family.
Mr. Murret.
Thank you very much.
Mr. Jenner.
Your wife and your children are very proud of you, by the way.
Mr. Murret.
Thank you.
Mr. Jenner.
How many children do you have, four or five?
Mr. Murret.
Five.
Mr. Jenner.
You have one who is studying for the priesthood, is that right?
Mr. Murret.
That's correct.
Mr. Jenner.
And he's over in Mobile studying, is that right?
Mr. Murret.
That's right.
Mr. Jenner.
He finished law school before he entered this institute in Mobile, is that right?
Mr. Murret.
Yes. He enrolled in the service. He had this 1-A hanging over him, so he just went in and put in his 2 years, and came back, and to my surprise he never took a leave, but he went on back to college, and he got all kinds of honors in college, and then he decided to be a priest and enrolled with the Jesuits over at Mobile.
Mr. Jenner.
And you have another son who is, I believe, with the Squibb Co., is that right?
Mr. Murret.
Yes; that's John. He's with Squibb & Co. now.
Mr. Jenner.
And I understand that he is also a pretty good baseball player, is that right.
Mr. Murret.
Oh, yes.
Mr. Jenner.
You have three boys and two girls, is that right?
Mr. Murret.
Yes; three boys and two girls.
Mr. Jenner.
Were all three boys interested in athletics?
Mr. Murret.
Well, yes.
Mr. Jenner.
All interested in baseball?
Mr. Murret.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Had baseball equipment, like gloves and things?
Mr. Murret.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
What are your boys, right handed or left handed?
Mr. Murret.
They are all right handed.
Mr. Jenner.
Did they ever loan their equipment, particularly gloves, to Lee Oswald?
Mr. Murret.
Not to my knowledge.
Mr. Jenner.
Not that you know of?
Mr. Murret.
That's right.
Mr. Jenner.
Well, I think it's no secret that Mrs. Murret, your wife, did lend one of their gloves to Lee Harvey Oswald one time to play ball when he was in high school; did you know that?
Mr. Murret.
Well, she could have.
Mr. Jenner.
She could have, and you wouldn't have known about it?
Mr. Murret.
That's right.
Mr. Jenner.
But all of those gloves would have been gloves for boys who are right handers then, isn't that right, since all three of your boys are right handed?
Mr. Murret.
Yes, that's right. They are all right handers.
Mr. Jenner.
Then the gloves were for the left hand, is that correct?
Mr. Murret.
Yes, that's correct, the left hand.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you know Marguerite Oswald?
Mr. Murret.
Oh, yes, I know her. I never could get along with her.
Mr. Jenner.
You couldn't get along with her?
Mr. Murret.
No; she was quite a bit younger than my wife.
