Mr. Liebeler.

How old are you, Mr. Murret?

Mr. Murret.

I am 29.

Mr. Liebeler.

Twenty-nine?

Mr. Murret.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

You are the youngest member of the Murret family? Is that right?

Mr. Murret.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you ever know Lee Oswald's older brother, Robert?

Mr. Murret.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

Were you closer to Robert than you were to Lee, would you say, or how much contact did you have with Robert?

Mr. Murret.

Well, I would say about the same,. Actually they weren't here in the city of New Orleans, you know, long enough to get close to them.

Mr. Liebeler.

There was nothing that you knew about Lee Oswald's youth that was particularly noteworthy or outstanding or would draw your attention to him or would distinguish him from other boys of his age, that you can remember, was there?

Mr. Murret.

No, sir; I couldn't say. I didn't have that much contact.

Mr. Liebeler.

Now looking back over the summer of 1963, thinking about your contact with Lee Oswald, is there anything that you can think of that you did with him or any conversations that you had or anything of interest that occurred during that time that we, haven't talked about? If you can think of anything else in that nature that we haven't mentioned, that you think would be helpful to the Commission, we would like to have you tell us.

Mr. Murret.

Well, the only thing I can think of; like I say, it just so happens that I was home all the time, but the telephone rang, you know, for him getting a job or some employment agencies calling up asking, you know, for him to contact the employment agencies because they had located him a job and so forth, and the only thing I can recollect is an employment agency calling me up one night, and couldn't get in contact with him, and I had to call the particular coffee plant the next day, you know, saying that the agency wants to see you, you know, right away, he has a job located for you--in photography I think it was. So I had called him, and that was about the end of that.

Mr. Liebeler.

You did call Lee?

Mr. Murret.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you reach him at the coffee plant?

Mr. Murret.

Yes, air.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did he say anything when you told him that this employment agency was looking for him?

Mr. Murret.

No; I was just hoping that this was the job that he was looking for. Other than that, that is all.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you remember the name of the employment agency?

Mr. Murret.

No, sir; I don't. They had maybe one or two that called up, different ones, but it was amazing--not amazing, but evidently when he was applying for these particular jobs he must have impressed them such that they would let him know one way or the. other, you know, whether they had a job for him or not, rather than just pass it by.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did Lee own a suit of clothes?

Mr. Murret.

I think he did; yes, sir. It was during the summer, and it was a woolen suit more so than a summer suit.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you know whether he wore that suit when he went looking for a job?

Mr. Murret.

He might have wore it once; yes, sir. That was the only suit he had that I know of.

Mr. Liebeler.

How much luggage did Lee have with him when he stayed out at the place on French Street?

Mr. Murret.

I couldn't say. Just the bag that I saw, you know, just the handbag which is similar to---you know, like a basketball equipment bag.

Mr. Liebeler.

Something like an airline bag?

Mr. Murret.

Yes; something like that.

Mr. Liebeler.

Just a soft ----

Mr. Murret.

Right, just a small bag.
