Would you tell us about that, starting with the first time you saw him. Tell us the circumstances under which you met him, the conversations that you had. Tell us about the various times that you did see him during the summer of 1963, what you did during that period of time, as far as Oswald is concerned.

Mr. Murret.

Well, actually there was not too much contact that I did have with him. Since I did live in the house and did- -

Mr. Liebeler.

At 757 French Street?

Mr. Murret.

757 French Street. The first contact I think I had with him, we ordinarily--sometimes when I am working in that particular neighborhood, I would come home for lunch, and he was there at this particular occasion with his little bag and so forth.

Mr. Liebeler.

Now can you tell me approximately when that was?

Mr. Murret.

Tell you the truth, I can't recall, but as you mentioned, you know, during the summer. Evidently it was during the summer. I am not too sure.

Mr. Liebeler.

Would it have been some time in May perhaps of 1963, or can't you---

Mr. Murret.

I can't recall. I could have recalled then, but I am kind of confused now on it.
