(Testimony of Mrs. Igor Vladimir Voshinin)
Mrs. Voshinin.
with George, I believe, just 2 or 3 weeks maximum amount, as far as I can remember--no longer than a month.
Mr. Jenner.
And this was in 19----
Mrs. Voshinin.
1955. I believe in November. Either end of October or November in 1955.
And then I started working for Henry Rogatz, for whom I worked until June 1962.
Mr. Jenner.
How did you come to be sent to, or become acquainted with, George De Mohrenschildt?
Mrs. Voshinin.
George Bouhe told me about him and be arranged it. And he asked me to call George on the telephone. And I came there and George right away offered me to be his secretary there and also to help him with his projects---drilling projects, whatever he had there.
Mr. Jenner.
Drilling projects?
Mrs. Voshinin.
Yes; there was one drilling project going on and he wanted me to participate in the geology.
Mr. Jenner.
Had you known this man theretofore?
Mrs. Voshinin.
No, sir; I had not.
Mr. Jenner.
Then, after about 3 weeks of working half days for Mr. De Mohrenschildt, you began full time for Mr. Rogatz?
Mrs. Voshinin.
For Mr. Rogatz---right.
Mr. Jenner.
Also, in your profession of geology?
Mrs. Voshinin.
Yes; uh-huh.
Mr. Jenner.
What did you learn of De Mohrenschildt, De Mohrenschildt's present wife, and De Mohrenschildt's prior history?
Mrs. Voshinin.
I don't know very much about De Mohrenschildt's prior history--only what he, himself, told me. I mean, I can just repeat his own words.
Mr. Jenner.
All right. You start and tell us what he told you----
Mrs. Voshinin.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And then go from that to what you know of your own knowledge.
Mrs. Voshinin.
Sir, I'm afraid I don't know anything of my own knowledge.
Mr. Jenner.
All right. Tell us all he told you.
Mrs. Voshinin.
He told me that he had some former wives---that he had a wife, Dorothy, and a daughter, Alex, from this wife Dorothy.
Mr. Jenner.
And that daughter's name was Alex?
Mrs. Voshinin.
Alex. Right.
And then that he had a second wife I believe he said her name was Washington, or something like that. And I also believe that he said she was a songstress or something like that. I'm not too sure, somehow. He never talked about that.
Mr. Jenner.
An entertainer of some kind?
Mrs. Voshinin.
Entertainer of some kind--right.
And he never talked about her and I understand it was a very short marriage.
And then it was Dee Dee Sharples whom. just when I started working with George, the trouble had started between Dee Dee and George. So, I never met her. I talked to her over the phone a couple of times but I never met her myself.
And then he separated from Dee Dee and he found--he met Jeanne [pronounced Zhon]. I believe that he mentioned to me that he met Jeanne before that time, though, I'm not certain when and how. No--I am certain how, because he said he met her at the swimming pool at the Stoneleigh Hotel. She was living in that hotel. And then they married, I believe, in 1959, after those trips to Yugoslavia--two trips. I'm not sure whether he went two or once to Yugoslavia.
Mr. Jenner.
Were you living here in Dallas when he made his trip or trips to Yugoslavia?
Mrs. Voshinin.
Yes, uh-huh. We lived all the time in Dallas--all those years.
Mr. Jenner.
What do you know about his trip to Yugoslavia--and start from the beginning, as you recall it?
Mrs. Voshinin.
Only what he told me about it. I remember very well that he was getting an offer from somebody in Washington, D.C., to go to Yugoslavia.
