Mr. Liebeler.

He did not appear to you to be a dangerous person in that respect?

Mr. Bouhe.

He appeared to be critical of the United States, an individual completely mixed-up, looking, somebody said, for his place under the sun. But I did not go into the thinking like the psychiatrist thought in the Bronx in 1952, that he is potentially dangerous, and to whom now this act was almost a natural for his condition.

Mr. Liebeler.

He did not appear to you prior to the assassination that he was dangerous in any respect?

Mr. Bouhe.

He liked to get into a fight, I heard, and get beaten up, I heard, off and on, and he struck his wife, gave her a black eye. Yes; he is a tough guy but----

Mr. Liebeler.

As far as assassinating the President or shooting somebody, that's never occurred to you?

Mr. Bouhe.

Never.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you know of any connection between Lee Oswald and Jack Ruby?

Mr. Bouhe.

Thought of it a lot, and I can unqualifiably say, I could not come to any thought that would make me say yes on that, that I suspect yes--no no.

Mr. Liebeler.

Now you testified before that you knew George De Mohrenschildt?

Mr. Bouhe.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

De Mohrenschildt was a friend of Oswald's; was he not?

Mr. Bouhe.

Mr. De Mohrenschildt is a Ph.D., comes from an excellent family back in the old country, married the right people, knows everybody, but there is something in him that we have discussed here with Mr. Gregory in a nice sort of way, a nonconformist, meaning if you invited him to dinner, formally, he might arrive there in a bathing suit, and bring a girl friend which is not accepted.
When I talked to De Mohrenschildt, who met Oswald somewhere in October or November, whether at Meller's or Mrs. Ford's, I told him, "George, I just cannot go on, he is nuts and we are going to have trouble."
By trouble, I meant constant arguments, battling, moving out and all of that sort of stuff.
George, who liked him, said, "Oh, come on, you are too critical, you are too big a snob. Just because he didn't come from St. Petersburg, then you drop them like a hot cake. They are nice people." "All right, George, you carry the ball."

Mr. Liebeler.

You said that to De Mohrenschildt?

Mr. Bouhe.

Yes; and then on various weekends he would take him to his society friends, swimming pools, and this and that just like a little hoopla circus.
So they went through the crowds and maybe they brought them over one day. If I ran into them at De Mohrenschildt's house once in that period, that is almost an exaggeration.

Mr. Libeler.

But you say you know De Mohrenschildt did go on and attempt to help the Oswalds in the manner that you have described?

Mr. Bouhe.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you have any idea whether De Mohrenschildt exercised any particular influence over Oswald?

Mr. Bouhe.

I think Oswald had respect for the size and the weight and the muscles of De Mohrenschildt because on some occasions if he went to tell something to Oswald, like he had to change a shirt on Wednesday, or not to be dirty, or do something on Sunday, he wouldn't care--De Mohrenschildt would give it to him, tell him, and holler at him.

Mr. Liebeler.

Oswald would do that?

Mr. Bouhe.

I don't know whether he did it, but De Mohrenschildt would say it. Whether that registered or not, that I don't know. I wouldn't even say it.

Mr. Liebeler.

Mr. Bouhe, I want to show you five photographs of a man, and these photographs have all been marked in the testimony that Mrs. Ruth Paine gave before the Commission. We do not have the numbers here. I will ask you
