Mr. Jenner. I take it you have a knack with babies and children?
Mrs. Murret. Yes.
Mr. Jenner. And you seemed to have trouble with Lee's baby, with this baby?
Mrs. Murret. Yes; naturally she had never seen me before, and she didn't speak the English language. Marina made her understand things in Russian, and so I took the baby outside with me to make friends with the baby and she kept crying, and Marina kept telling her to look at me, and after a while she made friends, you know, and so then Lee decided that they would go out.
I had a baby bed in the house which I have for all my children, and my daughter still uses the baby bed, so anyway, Marina and Lee wanted to go to the lakeside which isn't too far from my home.
Mr. Jenner. What is the lakeside?
Mrs. Murret. Pontchartrain Lake. I guess that would be about 12 blocks from where I live.
Mr. Jenner. About a mile-and-a-half?
Mrs. Murret. About that. They decided to go crabbing, and so they got a net and some crab bait, and the baby meantime went to sleep, so Lee left the baby with me in the crib, and they went out to the lake.
Mr. Jenner. How did they get out there?
