Mr. Murret. He was gone to the grocery. When he came back, that is when, you know, well, like my mother said, she said, "Guess who was here," and I think I guessed it, you know, and he went to the grocery to get a loaf of bread, I think it was, and he just came back. But there was no particular other contact that I could say I had with him other than—you know, he talking about maybe Russia or something, but mostly, you know, the food and drink and, you know, different environments that they have. That is the only thing I can say about it.
Mr. Liebeler. You say that he did talk about his time in Russia, and that basically it was in terms of the kind of living conditions that they had and the way the people live their lives in Russia?
Mr. Murret. Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler. Did he indicate to you in any way that he had received better treatment while he was in Russia than other Russians, or did you gain an impression about that?
Mr. Murret. No, I couldn't you know, actually say that, but—in fact, I couldn't, you know.
Mr. Liebeler. Did he tell you at all why he went to Russia in the first place?
Mr. Murret. No. In fact, I didn't inquire or feel that it was any of my particular business why he did, but the only thing I can say, he just went. I just didn't want to pry into his business, you know, or anything like that.
Mr. Liebeler. Did he tell you anything about his experiences in Russia, other than in general terms as far as living conditions and that sort of thing is concerned?
Mr. Murret. Well, his experience working in the factories where he had gotten work. Other than that—that is the only particular.
Mr. Liebeler. Did he tell you what kind of a factory he worked in?
