(Testimony of Gary E. Taylor)

Mr. Jenner.
In other words, how did it come about--from the beginning of the world to the present?
Mr. Taylor.
Uh--about a week before I met them, uh---my wife was told of them by either her father or stepmother. That would be either Mr. or Mrs. George De Mohrenschildt [spelling] D-e-M-o-h-r-e-n-s-c-h-i-l-d-t.
Mr. Jenner.
Yes. And the first name is George. And do you know the present Mrs. De Mohrenschildt's first name given name?
Mr. Taylor.
It is pronounced Zhon [phonetic].
Mr. Jenner.
Pronounced as though it's spelled J-o-n?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes--uh--it is pronounced as the Dutch would say it--Zhon. I believe that she uses the French spelling of the name, although I'm not familiar with it.
Mr. Jenner.
Is she sometimes called Jeanne [spelling] J-e-a-n-n-e?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes. I'm not sure of the "e" on the end of it.
Mr. Jenner.
I'd like to back up a moment. Your wife what was her maiden name?
Mr. Taylor.
Alexandra Romyne----
Mr. Jenner.
[Spelling] R-o-m-i-n-e?
Mr. Taylor.
[Spelling] R-o-m-y-n-e.
Mr. Jenner.
De Mohrenschildt?
Mr. Taylor.
That's right.
Mr. Jenner.
And she was the daughter of whom?
Mr. Taylor.
Of George De Mohrenschildt and a woman who is now known as Mrs. J. M. Brandel.
Mr. Jenner.
Spell that last name.
Mr. Taylor.
[ Spelling] B-r-a-n-d-e-l.
Mr. Jenner.
And the present Mrs. Brandel--she was the wife of George De Mohrenschildt and, in turn, is the mother of your wife?
Mr. Taylor.
That is true. But that is not the present Mrs. De Mohrenschildt.
Mr. Jenner.
No; I appreciate that. Where does she live now?
Mr. Taylor.
Mrs. Brandel, as last I knew, was living at Stellara B.
Mr. Jenner.
Will you spell that?
Mr. Taylor.
[Spelling] S-t-e-l-l-a-r-a-B.
Mr. Jenner.
Just the letter "B"?
Mr. Taylor.
Just the letter "B." I believe Stellara means apartment in Italian. Vagna Clara [spelling] V-a-g-n-a C-l-a-r-a, Rome, Italy.
Mr. Jenner.
Has she remarried?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes; she has remarried--and her name is Brandel.
Mr. Jenner.
How many children were born of that marriage?
Mr. Taylor.
One.
Mr. Jenner.
Just your wife?
Mr. Taylor.
That's right.
Mr. Jenner.
And was the present Mrs. Brandel the first wife, second wife, third wife of Mr. George De Mohrenschildt?
Mr. Taylor.
The first wife---to my knowledge.
Mr. Jenner.
Are you informed that in addition to the present Mrs. Brandel and the present Mrs. De Mohrenschildt, De Mohrenschildt also was married to at least one, if not two other women?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes; I am aware of one other one.
Mr. Jenner.
Will you tell us about the one that you do have in mind?
Mr. Taylor.
I know very little about her, other than that her name is Dee--- her first name is Dee.
Mr. Jenner.
[Spelling] D-e-e?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Dee or DeeDee? Is she sometimes called DeeDee?
Mr. Taylor.
She may have been. And that they had two children, one of which is deceased.
Mr. Jenner.
And the one who still survives is male or female?
Mr. Taylor.
Female.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you know her name and whereabouts?
Mr. Taylor.
Her given name is Nodjia--and I do not know the spelling of it. It is, I believe, a Russian name.
