(Testimony of Everett D. Glover)
Mr. Jenner.
That subject was not raised so as to give you the impression one way or the other, is that correct?
Mr. Glover.
Well, since she didn't have any means of going herself, I am sure, whether she came by bus or whether she was brought by them, I had the impression that she was living in Fort Worth at the time, and I know she was, because at one time, either this time or another time, I volunteered, since I had a car, to take her down to the bus station with the De Mohrenschildts to take her on her way back to Fort Worth, and the bus wasn't leaving right away, and there was a long wait, so we took her over to Fort Worth. But I am not sure whether that was this time or another time.
Mr. Jenner.
Had you had the impression then in that connection that there were occasions when she had come or gone back by way of bus, or that she was capable of doing so?
Mr. Glover.
That she was capable, yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And she knew enough about bus travel between Fort Worth and Dallas and the location of the De Mohrenschildt home so that she, unaccompanied by someone, could travel back and forth?
Mr. Glover.
Well, at least go to the Fort Worth bus. I'm not sure about whether they would pick her up or what. That is the impression I got from the fact we took her to the bus station and she was supposed to leave by bus.
Mr. Jenner.
Who was present? Yourself, Marina, and the two De Mohrenschildts on this occasion?
Mr. Glover.
I believe that is correct.
Mr. Jenner.
Anybody else that you can recall?
Mr. Glover.
I do not believe so, but I could not be a hundred percent sure. I believe that is the way it was.
Mr. Jenner.
Have the De Mohrenschildts said anything to you about how they had become acquainted with the Oswalds?
Mr. Glover.
They had not said anything specifically, but again, I had the impression that because they were Russian speaking and knew some of the other people around the area who were Russian speaking, they learned from people they knew in Fort Worth of this Russian girl who was here in this country.
Mr. Jenner.
What, if anything, did they say about their interest in her beyond, let's say, pure curiosity?
Mr. Glover.
That is really the extent of what they ever said, that they were curious, and also trying to help her out. This was right in character with Jeanne, who was always trying to help people out in such situations.
Mr. Jenner.
Was she a generous person in that respect?
Mr. Glover.
I think you would call it generous although you have to realize this is a double-edged sword. People sometimes do things in order to control things and arrange things, and other times they do things out of the goodness of their heart, and I think it was one of the facts, she liked to help people out, and arrange things. Maybe this is my male bias coming into it.
Mr. Jenner.
But in any event, they were, on the surface at least, cordial, and seeking to help her?
Mr. Glover.
That's right.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you detect that that was an active and not merely a passive effort on their part?
Mr. Clover.
Yes; I felt it was an active thing.
Mr. Jenner.
They were pursuing it with some vigor?
Mr. Glover.
Yes; I would say so.
Mr. Jenner.
Let's take George in particular. Was it characteristic of him? Was he a generous man and wanted to help others?
Mr. Glover.
Much less so, I would say, than Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. I rather would attribute it to her. Maybe it is my male bias coming out, blaming it on Jeanne for being so interested in somebody else, but he went along with this too, and there were several other people I met there who they were trying to be good to. I think they were trying to do this to help. And shortly after my former wife left and I was by myself, I think they, in their relation to me, were trying to do something to help me out.
Mr. Jenner.
You met her on this occasion. How many additional occasions were there?
