Mr. Rankin. Did he tell you anything about that, or is that just what you guess?
Mrs. Oswald. He would collect the newspaper clippings about his—when the newspapers wrote about him, and he took these clippings with him when he went to Mexico.
Mr. Rankin. Did the Murrets come to visit you from time to time in New Orleans?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes—sometimes they came to us, and sometimes we went to them.
Mr. Rankin. Was that a friendly relationship?
Mrs. Oswald. I would say that they were more of a family relationship type. They were very good to us. His uncle, that is the husband of his aunt, was a very good man. He tried to reason with Lee after that incident. Lee liked them very much as relatives but he didn't like the fact that they were all very religious.
When his uncle, or, again, the husband of his aunt would tell him that he must approach things with a more serious attitude, and to worry about himself and his family, Lee would say, "Well, these are just bourgeois, who are only concerned with their own individual welfare."
Mr. Krimer. The word Mrs. Oswald used is not quite bourgeois, but it is a person of a very narrow viewpoint who is only concerned with his own personal interests, inclined to be an egotist.
Mr. Rankin. Did you hear the discussion when the uncle talked about this Fair Play for Cuba and his activities?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes.
