Mrs. Murret. He believed that he was smart; yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. You don't think he was spoofing you?
Mrs. Murret. No; I think he really thought he was smart, and I don't think he envied anybody else. He thought he was very smart, and I don't think he envied anyone else, because he thought he knew it all, I guess. He didn't think he had to have a profession or anything else. We didn't even know when he left this job.
Mr. Jenner. Well, before we get to that, while he was living with you, did he read while he was home at night?
Mrs. Murret. Did he read?
Mr. Jenner. Yes.
Mrs. Murret. No.
Mr. Jenner. He didn't read any books?
Mrs. Murret. You see, he went out all day. He would get up and leave early in the morning. He wouldn't eat any breakfast. I would try to fix him an egg and bacon or something like that, but he didn't want anything to eat for breakfast and he wouldn't take a thing. We always eat a big breakfast in our family, but he wouldn't eat a thing. He would just get dressed and go out with his newspaper to look for a job, and come home in time for supper and then he would sit around a while and watch television and then go to bed, and he followed that same pattern all while he was with us, until he got this job with the Riley Coffee Co.
Mr. Jenner. Did he ever talk to you about Russia during that time, his life in Russia, and how he felt about it?
