Mr. JENNER. You mean the fall term, when she would put him in school in Covington, La.?
Mrs. MURRET. I couldn't say whether he went to school there or not. The next I heard is when she left Ekdahl.
Mr. JENNER. Then to summarize her life with Ekdahl, she married him and she took the boys out, the two older boys, out of the orphanage and put them in military school in Mississippi; is that right?
Mr. JENNER. Yes; so she said. That's what she told you?
Mr. JENNER. She kept Lee with her; is that right?
Mr. JENNER. Was he at that time around 5 years old?
Mr. JENNER. And she had accompanied her husband at least for a time in his travels; is that right?
Mr. JENNER. And she had the boy Lee with her and Mr. Ekdahl; is that right?
Mr. JENNER. It is your impression that Ekdahl did not support Lee, but that she had to support him; is that right?
Mrs. MURRET. I thought, at least she told me, that he did not support Lee either. I thought she told me that. I may be wrong on that.
Mr. JENNER. Was Ekdahl a man of formal education beyond grammar school?
Mrs. MURRET. I don't know anything about Ekdahl.
Mr. JENNER. But it was your impression that he was previously married and had a son; is that right?
Mr. JENNER. She met him here in New Orleans; is that right?
Mr. JENNER. You don't know under what circumstances, though, do you?
Mr. JENNER. She spoke to you nothing about the fact that he had a bad heart?
Mrs. MURRET. Oh, she told me that. She said he had a bad heart; a very bad heart, I believe she said.
Mr. JENNER. And the man's sister had come down from Boston, and she approved of Marguerite, and she urged Mr. Ekdahl to marry her; is that right?
Mr. JENNER. No children were born of that marriage?
Mrs. MURRET. No; I don't think she was married to him very long.
Mr. JENNER. They were divorced in 1948, I believe; is that right?
Mrs. MURRET. Well, I don't know about the date on that.
Mr. JENNER. But they weren't married very long, and that marriage was not, as far as you know, an entirely smooth one, was it?
Mrs. MURRET. Well, I only know what she told me. She told me what went on.
Mr. JENNER. And you have already told us about that.
Mrs. MURRET. Yes; that was the reason for the divorce.
Mr. JENNER. Had she sold her house that she had here in New Orleans at the time she married Ekdahl?
