(Testimony of Igor Vladimir Voshinin)
Mr. Voshinin.
he said that the Government has that Foreign Aid Program and in connection with that he will be able to find some kind of job like that and he says he will go to Washington and there are some kind of agents called 5-percenters in Washington who you can--if you find the right man you will get a job.
So, he was traveling back and forth to Washington and so on, and finally he said he got a job in Yugoslavia; he doesn't like it too much because he's a little afraid going there but he doesn't have any other way out because he's broke. So, he went to Yugoslavia and stayed there for about a year. So, that was----
Mr. Jenner.
Was he married then?
Mr. Voshinin.
No; he was not married at that time.
Before that, he met that so-called Mrs. Le Gon, who posed as a French woman, And he met her at the swimming pool of the Stoneleigh Hotel----
Mr. Jenner.
He met her.
Mr. Voshinin.
He met her at the swimming pool of the Stoneleigh Hotel--because he was living at the Stoneleigh Hotel after his divorce and she was living there----
Mr. Jenner.
Excuse me. He was living there after his divorce---and she was also living there?
Mr. Voshinin.
She was also living there yes.
She was, as I understand, a fashion designer, and she traveled to different cities to sell her ideas, you know, for design. She went to New York to sell her permanent residence, as I understand, was Los Angeles or some suburb thereof. But she used to come here and sell her fashion designs to somebody called Clarke, I guess. She was--so, she was temporarily here but pretty often. So, they met there and fell in love, you know, and though she is Russian, of course, she would not say a word Russian; she would talk English with a French accent and saying she was a French woman.
Up to now, I think Mr. De Mohrenschildt does not know everything about his wife. He told me two times that there is something that he doesn't understand in her former life and he says that's the part before she came to the United States; and he says the moment he tries to question her about that--because he says, "It's my wife, I want to know,"---he says she's just mute; she doesn't want to talk about it at all.
And we know, for example, that every time she meets some Russian from China, she doesn't want to talk to them at all. What it was, I don't know--and even De Mohrenschildt told me he doesn't know.
Mr. Jenner.
Is she reputed to have been born in or to have lived in China?
Mr. Voshinin.
Yes; she is. She was born somewhere in China. Her father's name was Fomenko, she said---[spelling] F-o-m-e-n-k-o---who was an engineer on the East Chinese Railroad----
Mr. Jenner.
All right.
Can you describe De Mohrenschildt's personality?
Mr. Voshinin.
Well, do you want the further travelings as far as I know?
Mr. Jenner.
Yes; please.
Mr. Voshinin.
So, after---well, he went to Yugoslavia in the middle of that year. When he was in Yugoslavia, she went to visit him there.
Mr. Jenner.
His present wife?
Mr. Voshinin.
His present wife.
Mr. Jenner.
And, at that time, his present wife was not his wife?
Mr. Voshinin.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
All right.
Mr. Voshinin.
They were very much in love, you know--and her husband who was here two times and he was chasing De Mohrenschildt, and George De Mohrenschildt says, "He will kill me with a revolver"--and there was some kind of---we took it more or less of a joke, you know, just as very cheap movie film. But George De Mohrenschildt was so much afraid that he even slept in a motel somewhere, not in his Stoneleigh apartment. And, then, her husband, also, as I understand, hired a detective who was running constantly De Mohrenschildt--and all kinds of things like that.
Mr. Jenner.
A lot of cloak and dagger?
Mr. Voshinin.
Yeah--cloak and dagger staff. So after that, they divorced--- she divorced her husband---and, you know, he is now in an insane had some
