(Testimony of Everett D. Glover)
Mr. Jenner.
When is the last time you saw De Mohrenschildt?
Mr. Glover.
I saw him sometime in the early part of May, I believe. I moved into my house at 5723 Southwestern about the 20th of April, and I had taken all his furniture which he had, looking for a place to store, and we three fellows were needing furniture, because I sent all my furniture to my former wife, all the good furniture, so he was going to let us use the furniture for as long as we wanted, to save him storage fees and help us out. We moved it over, and then he finally, on leaving to go to Haiti, before he was going, he dropped by the house sometime in the day he departed, I think it was in the last few days of May, first week or two----
Mr. Jenner.
1963?
Mr. Glover.
1963, right. He came by the house looking for something which had been stored in some of the boxes, and they were loaded with their trailer and cargo to load on the boat in Florida where they going to take off from.
They were sending goods by boat and flying themselves.
Mr. Jenner.
That's the last time you have seen him?
Mr. Glover.
That is the last time I have seen him.
Mr. Jenner.
Have you heard from him at any time?
Mr. Glover.
Have I heard from him?
Mr. Jenner.
What has been the extent of that contact, first?
Mr. Glover.
Well, he wrote to me and his wife wrote to me telling about how things were going in Haiti, and I have replied very little to him. I have replied, I don't know how many times, maybe once when they first went down there, and I replied after January 1, when I moved. I shipped most of his furniture to a storage, keeping some back that I can still use in the new house, and I wrote to him telling him, I told him I didn't need the furniture, and I haven't corresponded with him very much.
Mr. Jenner.
In that correspondence he--has given you any information as to what they are doing in Haiti? Did you have any information before they left for Haiti as to what they were, or thought they were, going to do?
Mr. Glover.
Yes. I have the information from talking very much about his Haiti venture, and the impression I got was somewhat hazy, but the first part was that he was going to be doing a geological survey for chemicals and minerals.
Mr. Jenner.
For what?
Mr. Glover.
Minerals of economic value.
Mr. Jenner.
Did he indicate the group or company for which he was to do this work, or was it independent?
Mr. Glover.
I had the impression that he was the one who was running the show himself, but he was associated with some other businessman that was connected with it, that besides this initial venture of doing this chemical survey, they were also going to do other things and set up business ventures. That is what the other part involved, and I had the impression that this all tied together.
Mr. Jenner.
This was in the nature, as near as you can recall, of a joint venture of some kind?
Mr. Glover.
Yes; except he gave me the impression that he was really running the show, and I also had the impression, which he didn't emphasize, but that someone else was providing the money if there was any money needed.
Mr. Jenner.
Give us your knowledge and also your impression of the De Mohrenschildt's financial status when they resided here in Dallas?
Mr. Glover.
I had the impression that they didn't have very much money, because he had been away, and the time he came back, the oil consulting business had gone down pretty much. This was about the time when the companies were reorganizing and they were tightening their belts, and it just wasn't such good times, and he apparently had trouble in getting any oil consultant jobs. This was the impression I got from him and he didn't do very much, except I got the impression that he might have owned some leases, and he----
Mr. Jenner.
Oil leases?
Mr. Glover.
Oil leases. And he talked about one particular one where there was litigation about it. And I got the impression that he didn't have very
