Mrs. Evans.

hard to recall those dates, to tell what year this happened and what year that happened.

Mr. Jenner.

That would have been around 1945, or 1944, somewhere in there?

Mrs. Evans.

Yes; along in there.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you recall her living on Atlantic Avenue in Algiers, La.?

Mrs. Evans.

Atlantic Avenue?

Mr. Jenner.

Yes.

Mrs. Evans.

No; I don't.

Mr. Jenner.

But you do recall a period when her two older boys, John and Robert, were in the Bethlehem Orphans School?

Mrs. Evans.

Oh, yes; I went there once with her, in fact.

Mr. Jenner.

At that time she was with the Murrets, is that right, Mrs. Evans?

Mrs. Evans.

That's right.

Mr. Jenner.

Then she moved to Texas?

Mrs. Evans.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

With her children, of course?

Mrs. Evans.

That's right..

Mr. Jenner.

What occurred about that time?

Mrs. Evans.

She married again.

Mr. Jenner.

She married, and was that why she moved to Texas?

Mrs. Evans.

That's why. She married a very, very fine man.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you recall what his name was?

Mrs. Evans.

You know it; I will give it to you--Ekdahl.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you know how to spell that, Ekdahl?

Mrs. Evans.

I don't remember, but I knew her during that period all right.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you become acquainted with him, Mr. Ekdahl?

Mrs. Evans.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

What kind of man was he, Mrs. Evans?

Mrs. Evans.

He was very high caliber, a very fine man, and he had a very fine position. The papers said she was dragged from pillar to post, but that wasn't true. It was his work that took them to places. That's why she went to New York, because of his position. He didn't drag her from pillar to post at all. I don't know what happened to them then, because I didn't see them again. He died, and that's when she moved back to New Orleans, and they stayed in my apartment building. Now, I visited her in Dallas, and I knew Eddie Ekdahl.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you know Mr. Ekdahl before he married her?

Mrs. Evans.

I did.

Mr. Jenner.

That was his second marriage, isn't that right?

Mrs. Evans.

Yes; so she said. He had been separated from his wife for many years, but had never gotten a divorce, I don't think, so then he did get a divorce and married Margie.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you remember where he was from originally?

Mrs. Evans.

Boston, I think

Mr. Jenner.

Is it your recollection that they moved to Dallas, Tex.?

Mrs. Evans.

They did.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you visit them in Dallas?

Mrs. Evans.

I did.

Mr. Jenner.

Was that address 4801 Victor?

Mrs. Evans.

I don't remember that, because I went there with a friend of mine, to the Baker Hotel, I think it was. I used to go around with this friend of mine. She was with Mary Douglas Perfumes, and Margie was living there with her husband at the time, and the two children, when I visited her.

Mr. Jenner.

Her husband and her two children?

Mrs. Evans.

Well, her three children, I mean, were with her.

Mr. Jenner.

Including Lee?

Mrs. Evans.

Yes; I went and stayed a few days with her, but the address I don't remember. We didn't correspond during those years, but that could have been the address. It was a duplex, I know, and she lived downstairs, and she rented out the upstairs.

Mr. Jenner.

At that time Lee was around 6 years old, is that right?
