(Testimony of Mrs. Igor Vladimir Voshinin)

Mr. Jenner.
Other than that he told you that?
Mrs. Voshinin.
Yes; and then he disappeared, you know. And he would tell us and then, of course, go away. But, for example, Ghana is quite certain, I think, because of this newspaper--so, that's why. And, then, we saw him off on the airport, of course, it didn't say "Ghana" on the airplane, I mean, but----[Laughter.]
And then I noticed he visited--he mentioned that he visited--I don't know--he mentioned that he visited Guatemala and Dominican Republic sometime in between.
Mr. Jenner.
Sometime in between what?
Mrs. Voshinin.
In between his walking trip and 1955.
Mr. Jenner.
That was in between 1955 and his walking trip that he had visited Guatemala and the Dominican Republic?
Mrs. Voshinin.
Yes; he mentioned, at least, visiting them--but I'm not sure.
Mr. Jenner.
But you were aware of his absences from Dallas?
Mrs. Voshinin.
Yes; definitely.
Mr. Jenner.
And the general conversation in the community in which you moved that he was making trips to the places that he purported to be making?
Mrs. Voshinin.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And, upon his return, would he, in turn, recount his experiences in these various places and countries?
Mrs. Voshinin.
Sometimes he would, yes; but he would never tell us what his business there was. Nobody was interested in that anyway.
Mr. Jenner.
Yes.
Mrs. Voshinin.
He wouldn't tell anything about it. But he would tell, yes; about--he would sometimes bring photographs like he brought from Europe, from Ghana, you know.
Mr. Jenner.
Well, photographs that he had purportedly taken, or picture postcards or things he had purchased?
Mrs. Voshinin.
No; there were taken photographs.
Mr. Jenner.
Ones that he took?
Mrs. Voshinin.
Yes.
And also, of course, he sent us a card once in awhile. Now, I don't remember--from Yugoslavia we definitely got a card. Yes; we got a card from Sweden from him; and from Haiti we got a card.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, you got cards from Haiti.
Mrs. Voshinin.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Before this last Haiti trip?
Mrs. Voshinin.
I believe so; yes; I don't remember very well; yes.
You know, when he went to Haiti to rest after his walking trip, we did not get any cards from him then. But before that and then after they moved to Haiti we did.
Mr. Jenner.
You did get cards?
Mrs. Voshinin.
Yes; uh-huh.
Mr. Jenner.
You were aware of his departing for Haiti on this present sojourn of his?
Mrs. Voshinin.
Oh, yes;quite.
Mr. Jenner.
Tell us about that. When you first learned of it, what he said, what she said, and then his departure.
Mrs. Voshinin.
A few months before their departure, he told us that he is working on getting a job with Haiti and that--I understood--that foreign aid money was involved there and this was connected with the State Department again. It was not just invitation of the Haiti Government.
And he worked on that for a few months, and he was traveling quite a lot.
Mr. Jenner.
Back and forth to Haiti?
Mrs. Voshinin.
Not to Haiti. I don't know where. Because sometimes he won't even mention where he goes, Just when-or sometimes on business trips.
Then, he went to Haiti to arrange the trip. He came back and he brought from Haiti a newspaper in which--French newspaper--in French--and it stated there about the survey which was given to De Mohrenschildt & Co. I don't know who the company is. And he brought also some statement from the bank he was showing that he had some money deposited there. It wasn't a statement. It
