(Testimony of John M. Murret)

Mr. Murret.
No, sir; I always had the car working.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did he have access to any other automobiles while he was here in New Orleans, as far as you know?
Mr. Murret.
To my knowledge, no; not of my family's possessions.
Mr. Liebeler.
You have a brother who is studying to be a Jesuit priest----
Mr. Murret.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
In Mobile, Ala., do you not?
Mr. Murret.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did there come a time in the summer of 1963 when Lee Oswald went to Mobile, Ala.?
Mr. Murret.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you go along?
Mr. Murret.
I was supposed to. I was in Houston at the time, we had a sales meeting in Houston, and I didn't make the trip.
Mr. Liebeler.
You did not go?
Mr. Murret.
No, sir; I did not go.
Mr. Liebeler.
Who all went on that trip? Do you know?
Mr. Murret.
As I recall, it must have been my mother and father and Marilyn, and that is it, and Lee and Marina and the baby.
Mr. Liebeler.
Have you talked with your brother, the Jesuit student, since that time?
Mr. Murret.
I have; yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did he tell you about Oswald's appearance at the seminary?
Mr. Murret.
No, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
You never discussed that particular event?
Mr. Murret.
No, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you talk about Oswald at all?
Mr. Murret.
I did. In-fact, the next time I had seen my brother was at my wedding. You see, he doesn't come in New Orleans at all. And I had asked him what kind of talk he gave, because I was interested in what kind of talk he did give and what impression he made on the Jesuits, and, like he said, you know, he didn't speak other than what the conditions were, you know, in Russia, and how he lived and the food and drink and so forth, and I think the other boys were asking him questions or trying to ask him questions. He may be evading the questions, but other than that, that is the only connection I had with my brother, you know, just asking him about it.
Mr. Liebeler.
This was at your wedding? Is that right?
Mr. Murret.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
What was the date of that?
Mr. Murret.
That was October 5, 1963.
Mr. Liebeler.
1963?
Mr. Murret.
Sixty-three, yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did your brother indicate--did your brother, Eugene, indicate his opinion of Lee Oswald to you?
Mr. Murret.
Well, his mind was--as far as his thinking was concerned, there is no doubt but that he thought in the wrong direction.
Mr. Liebeler.
That is what your brother thought?
Mr. Murret.
That is what my brother thought; yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Your brother, of course, is studying to be a Jesuit priest?
Mr. Murret.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you ever talk to Oswald about religion?
Mr. Murret.
No, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now other than the first time that you saw Oswald when he was there at 757 French Street on that day when you came home for lunch----
Mr. Murret.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
And the contact that you had with him at 757 French Street until he moved out, did you have any other contact with Oswald during the summer of 1963?
Mr. Murret.
No, sir; just only when, you know, he came to the house some Sundays maybe to eat or something on that order.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you meet Marina Oswald?
Mr. Murret.
Yes, sir.
