Mr. Jenner. So then that was the circumstance, as you knew it, after Robert got out of the service?

Mrs. Murret. Yes; and came to New Orleans. She thought he might live here and work and help support the family.

Mr. Jenner. But he didn't like New Orleans?

Mrs. Murret. That's right. He said all his friends were in Texas, and he wanted to move over there.

Mr. Jenner. He said he wanted to live in Texas where his friends were?

Mrs. Murret. Yes; that's what he said. He said Texas was his home, not New Orleans.

Mr. Jenner. And so they moved to Texas?

Mrs. Murret. Yes; and shortly after that—I forget when—but Robert married, and I didn't even know he was married.

Mr. Jenner. You didn't even know that?

Mrs. Murret. No.
