Mr. Murret. No, sir; he could have, but he just didn't have the clothes, evidently the money, for him to make the appearance. That is all.
Mr. Liebeler. Now did you ever go over to the apartment that Oswald apparently rented on Magazine Street?
Mr. Murret. I knew where he lived. In fact, possibly I had drove Marina and Lee to the apartment, but I have never stepped out of the car or actually been in front of the particular home or inside the home.
Mr. Liebeler. The Commission has some information to the effect that you tried to teach Oswald how to drive a car. Is that correct?
Mr. Murret. Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler. Would you tell us about that.
Mr. Murret. Well, like I say, he was always home, you know, on 757 French Street looking at TV or whatever it may be. It just so happened sometimes I work late, come home maybe 5:30 or 6 o'clock, and I didn't have any time during the day to teach him, and this one particular night—I had told him, you know, I was going to take him out, that he should learn how to drive and so forth, that it may be helpful to him on getting a job.
Mr. Liebeler. He told you that he didn't know how to drive a car?
Mr. Murret. I can't directly say, you know, that he did, but the impression was—I could actually say that he did not know how to drive a car before he got behind the wheel. I actually had to tell him how to start the car and so forth, what to do on it.
Mr. Liebeler. Now on this particular night that you took him out in the car, would you tell us how he handled the car and just what you and he did, where you drove the car, how you practiced with it.
