(Testimony of George S. De Mohrenschildt Resumed)

Mr. Jenner.
You had a civil ceremony?
Mr. De.
MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
After your wife had become divorced from her former husband? His name was Bogoiavlensky?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes; but he changed his name to LeGon.
Mr. Jenner.
Can you spell that?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. That name was a discovery for me, also. In the States they used the name of LeGon.
Mr. Jenner.
When you and your wife married--by the way, her given name is Jeanne, is it not?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. That is right.
Mr. Jenner.
When you and she married, did you continue to live at the Stoneleigh, or did you take up residence somewhere else?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. No, we kept on living at the Stoneleigh for awhile, and then we took a house in University Park, on Thackery. We took a house because both our daughters came to live with us. Actually, her daughter lived with us a little while before, and then my daughter came to live with us. She came from France to live with us.
Mr. Jenner.
You mentioned her daughter. Now, you make reference to your daughter. That is your daughter Alexandria?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. That is right.
Mr. Jenner.
And she had been living in France?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. She had been--she was brought up by her aunt in Arizona, because her mother----
Mr. Jenner.
And her aunt's name is what?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Nancy Clark--and eventually she became Nancy Tilton III. Anyway----
Mr. Jenner.
She lives where?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. She lives in Valle Verde Ranch, near Tucson, Ariz. And that is where my daughter was brought up. She was brought up and spent most of her childhood in that place, with her aunt and her husband, Mr. Clark.
Mr. Jenner.
Her aunt's husband?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
This is the daughter by your marriage to Miss Pierson?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. That is right. Her mother, more or less, left her with--it was with what we call her aunt, because it is a European way--that was her first cousin, so, therefore, we call it an aunt--my daughter's aunt. I guess in English you would call it a cousin. We call it an aunt--whether it is cousin, second cousin or third cousin, it is still an aunt. Anyway, she calls her "Aunt" also. And she spent practically all her childhood there.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you visit there?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes; very frequently I went to visit her there, as often as I could. And Mrs. Clark and her husband wanted to adopt her. So we had a litigation there. I objected to her adoption.
Mr. Jenner.
Did your former wife consent?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Which one?
Mr. Jenner.
To the adoption?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes, for awhile she was willing to accept that adoption, because she was not interested in her any more. She lived away from her, and married somebody else. She was not interested in the daughter.
I objected to that adoption, and very fortunately, because eventually both my ex-wife and myself had to ask back for the custody of Alexandria because her aunt became an alcoholic and became an impossible person to live with. And Alexandria asked me and her mother to take her away from her. We had a lawsuit---not a lawsuit, but whatever you call it--a custody case.
Mr. Jenner.
Where was this, in Tucson?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. No, that was in Palm Beach--because Nancy took Alexandria with her to Palm Beach, and tried to keep her away from us. And we caught her there in Palm Beach and eventually the judge decided that she should be with us.
Mr. Jenner.
When was this?
