(Testimony of Paul M. Raigorodsky)

Mr. Raigorodsky.
like that. It just reads too much like a fairy tale. I mean, as much as they claim they don't trust him, they surely didn't show it by the action in granting him different things which he received in Russia and in this country.
Now, Marina, I don't know anything about her.
Mr. Jenner.
This is your supposition and rationalization on your part?
Mr. Raigorodsky.
That is correct.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, I have your file
Mr. Raigorodsky.
Now, you take anything you want out of it.
Mr. Jenner.
All right. Let's do it this way--I have your file which you have kept marked "Re: George De Mohrenschildt."
Mr. Raigorodsky.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
I will just identify these documents.
Mr. Raigorodsky.
You don't need to.
Mr. Jenner.
Well, I need it for my record.
Mr. Raigorodsky.
Oh, all right.
Mr. Jenner.
I am not questioning you.
Mr. Raigorodsky.
Well, I'm not questioning you.
Mr. Jenner.
The bottom portion of this sheet consists of a duplicate telegram, and the upper portion consists of some French language or, what might be clippings from a French newspaper. It is marked with a circle No. 1 [document is in evidence as De Mohrenschildt Exhibit No. 1].
What are they and how did you get those?
Mr. Raigorodsky.
He sent them to me.
Mr. Jenner.
De Mohrenschildt sent that to you?
Mr. Raigorodsky.
Oh, yes; it is about a recent voyage to the United States of Mr. Clemard Joseph Charles. You see, he was trying to prove to me that Mr. Charles persona grata, both in Haiti and in the United States and was a big shot and here he was sending me some information about him.
Mr. Jenner.
The next document is what purports to be a carbon copy of a letter dated July 27, 1962, addressed to Mr. Jean de Menil of Houston, Tex. It is marked with a circle No. 2 [document is in evidence as De Mohrenschildt Exhibit No. 5]. It has a typewritten signatures on the second page, "G. De Mohrenschildt." I see in the upper right hand corner, written in longhand "copy for Mr. Raigorodsky."
In whose handwriting is that notation?
Mr. Raigorodsky.
His.
Mr. Jenner.
That is in George De Mohrenschildt's handwriting?
Mr. Raigorodsky.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Did he send that carbon copy of a letter to you?
Mr. Raigorodsky.
That's right, and this was the outlining a project in Haiti and the West Indies.
Mr. Jenner.
And was there an outline enclosed?
Mr. Raigorodsky.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And is that the next sheet which is entitled:
"Haitian Holding Co.," dated August 1, 1962, and is on the letterhead of George De Mohrenschildt? Petroleum geologist and engineer, Republic National Bank Building, Dallas, Tex. [De Mohrenschildt Exhibit No. 6.]
That was enclosed with the letter?
Mr. Raigorodsky.
Yes, this is the letter and then this is the outline, and besides that, you see, here is the outline of what he planned.
Mr. Jenner.
The outline to which he refers is set forth in the two-page carbon copy of a letter I have heretofore identified?
Mr. Raigorodsky.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And there's also enclosed with it what appears to be the mimeographed one piece sheet I have described, dated August 1, 1962, that has the mimeographed signature at the bottom, "G. De Mohrenschildt." Is that his signature?
Mr. Raigorodsky.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
These documents were transmitted to you. Did you save the envelope?
Mr. Raigorodsky.
Yes.
