Mrs. Murret. Lee's friends wouldn't like to do the things Lee liked to do. Lee said that. Most of the boys had money, you know, and went out on the weekends with girls and so forth, but Lee couldn't afford those things, so he didn't mix, but he did like to visit the museums and walk around the front and go to the park and do things like that, and you very seldom can get a teenager to do that kind of thing these days not even then. They don't all like that type of life, you know, but that's what he liked.
Mr. Jenner. Was he inclined to want to be by himself?
Mrs. Murret. What's that?
Mr. Jenner. Was he inclined to want to be by himself?
Mrs. Murret. Well, he said that that was the reason why, because I asked him, "Why don't you go out with the boys from school?" and so forth, and he said, "Well, they don't like the same things I like." But I do remember when he was at my house he used to call some little girl all the time and talk to her quite a long time on the telephone, and I think he made friends with some boy at Beauregard School when he was in the Sea Scouts for a while. He had a uniform and everything. He didn't stay in there too long, I don't think.
Mr. Jenner. He wasn't in the Sea Scouts too long?
Mrs. Murret. No; he wasn't.
Mr. Jenner. Is there a Liberty Hotel here in New Orleans?
Mrs. Murret. There could be.
Mr. Jenner. Or the Hotel Liberty?
