Mr. Jenner.

Is he still engaged on that; do you know, or are you informed?

Mr. Raigorodsky.

I don't know--I am not informed.

Mr. Jenner.

Is it your impression that his Haitian proposal was legitimate, that is, a legitimate speculation or otherwise. What I am getting at, in other words, that it was not anything of an ulterior character?

Mr. Raigorodsky.

Well, here's some more of the same thing, which I think might be helpful. Here's what information which they send to John De Menil.

Mr. Jenner.

Which he was sending to John De Menil?

Mr. Raigorodsky.

It's a copy for me.

Mr. Jenner.

It is to John De Menil?

Mr. Raigorodsky.

That's right.

Mr. Jenner.

Would I have your permission to have these documents in your file duplicated?

Mr. Raigorodsky.

Oh, sure.

Mr. Jenner.

I'll tell you what would be helpful to me if you would have your secretary restore the file, because you have been generously pulling documents out of it, and if she will restore it to the order in which it was originally?

Mr. Raigorodsky.

All right.

Mr. Jenner.

Then I will be able to go through it with you.
(At this point the witness, Mr. Raigorodsky, called his secretary, Mrs. Louise Meek, into the deposing orifice, giving her the instructions to comply with Counsel Jenner's request, and after leaving the deposing office and returning thereto shortly with the file in the order as requested, Mrs. Meek then departed the deposing room and the deposition continued as follows:)

Mr. Raigorodsky.

This shows the Haitian holding company. It shows what they are trying to do. There is correspondence with the bank and everything.

Mr. Jenner.

There were two files there, as I recall it.

Mr. Raigorodsky.

You can have them both--the other one is on the well operation.

Mr. Jenner.

Oh, I understand. You were participating with him in some drilling?

Mr. Raigorodsky.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

And they were either dry holes or they didn't amount to anything?

Mr. Raigorodsky.

One dry hole and one other. I want to ask you something?

Mr. Jenner.

All right.

Mr. Raigorodsky.

Have you ever talked to Mr. H. Gordon Calder. Mr. H. Gordon Calder is an oil man in Shreveport, La. He is a close friend of mine; in fact, he probably was the first friend I had in this country. We went to the University of Texas together. That's over 40 years ago. His last job before he quit, he was the head of the Southern Production Co., quite a large organization, and George has been working on several oil deals with Gordon Calder, and Gordon Calder has been more in contact with George than I have in the last several years. I see that Gordon Calder was in this well too; my office has the telephone number and address of Mr. Calder, in fact, if necessary, I can call him and he will come over here.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you know whether Professor Jitkoff is acquainted with De Mohrenschildt?

Mr. Raigorodsky.

Oh, I'm sure he is.

Mr. Jenner.

You are acquainted with Basil Zavoico?

Mr. Raigorodsky.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Who is he?

Mr. Raigorodsky.

Basil he is a Russian. His father was a general in the Russian Army. He has a brother. Basil Zavoico has been--his primary business has been what I would say is a bank and insurance consultant on oil matters. He has been with Prudential Insurance Co.; he has been with Chase National Bank. He was their consultant; and he has been in a business of his own mostly connected with oil financing.

Mr. Jenner.

Did he at one time reside in Dallas?

Mr. Raigorodsky.

No; he resided in Houston.
