Mr. Jenner. She kept Lee with her on all these trips with Mr. Ekdahl?
Mrs. Evans. As far as I know, she did, yes.
Mr. Jenner. As far as you know, did she have Lee with her all the time?
Mrs. Evans. I don't think that she ever parted with Lee for a minute. If she did, I don't know about it, but when she came back, the way she talked, I figured that Lee was with them the whole time, and they had lived in hotels and things like that while Mr. Ekdahl was traveling.
Mr. Jenner. Do you recall when her marriage to Ekdahl took place, Mrs. Evans?
Mrs. Evans. Well, it was when she went to Texas, just about at that time.
Mr. Jenner. Around 1945, would that have been, in maybe 1944?
Mrs. Evans. Along in there; yes. She married him, I think, in Dallas, Tex., or maybe it was Fort Worth. I can't recall that for sure.
Mr. Jenner. But he had been here in New Orleans, and that's when they struck up this acquaintanceship, here in New Orleans, is that right?
Mrs. Evans. That's right.
