(Testimony of George S. De Mohrenschildt Resumed)

Mr. Jenner.
And you had a contract of some kind?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes; I think the contract was for 8 or 9 months.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, you left on that venture, as I recall it, somewhere around February of 1957, wasn't it?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. I left for Yugoslavia.
Mr. Jenner.
Yes; you left for Yugoslavia when?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. I think it was very early in 1957, because, 8 months, and I returned in October.
Mr. Jenner.
1957?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. 1957; yes. All the reports were made---quite a considerable number of reports were made in triplicates--some of them went to ICA, some went to the Yugoslavian Government. I think some went to the Bureau of Mines here.
Mr. Jenner.
That was nonsecurity work, was it not?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. I don't have the slightest idea. They checked me, they gave me some kind of clearance before I went there. Because I had to wait for quite some time before they gave me the okay. And I noticed that after I got back from Yugoslavia, they were still checking me---after I got back from Yugoslavia they were still checking on me. One character came to see some of my friends in Dallas and said, "Well, George De Mohrenschildt is about to go to Yugoslavia. Do you think he is all right?" He said, "But he is already back from Yugoslavia."
Mr. Jenner.
In the meantime, you had met your present wife, is that correct?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes; I met her in Dallas. And while we were in Yugoslavia, we became engaged, and she came to visit me in Yugoslavia for awhile. But she was actually by profession a designer for a Dallas firm of I. Clark, and she went to Europe on a business trip for I. Clark, and while doing so she came and visited me in Yugoslavia for a couple of weeks.
Mr. Jenner.
She was not yet divorced at that time?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. I don't think she was divorced. She was getting a divorce.
Mr. Jenner.
Where had you met her? Were you living at the Stoneleigh Hotel in Dallas?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And she was living there, also?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. She was living there, also. And she had this separate apartment. I was living on the Maple Terrace. She was living at the Stoneleigh Hotel.
Mr. Jenner.
Was her daughter with her at that time?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. No; I don't think she was. She came over later.
Mr. Jenner.
I mean was her daughter living in Dallas?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. No; her daughter was living in California.
Mr. Jenner.
What was the name of that town?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Where she lived in California?
Mr. Jenner.
Yes.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Some canyon--Cayuga Canyon. She can tell you about that.
Mr. Jenner.
Now----
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. I met my present wife's ex-husband. His name was Robert LeGon. We developed a liking for each other. I remember he told me that he will give his wife a divorce if I promise that I would marry her. A very charming fellow.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you and your present wife live with each other before you were married?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes, we did, for a relatively short time, because we couldn't make up our minds whether we should get married or not. We both had experiences in the past. We decided that we would see if we wanted to be married or not. And we eventually did.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, I think you can remember this.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. In the name of God we were married, because I remember we went on a trip to Mexico and decided that here we are married--in the name of God, we are married. Then, later on, we put it in the name of----
