(Testimony of Gary E. Taylor)

Mr. Jenner.
the wife you now speak of---that is, back in 1962--that is not your present wife?
Mr. Taylor.
That's correct.
Mr. Jenner.
But that wife what was her maiden name?
Mr. Taylor.
Alexandra Romyne De Mohrenschildt.
Mr. Jenner.
All right.
Mr. Taylor.
And we met them, as they had suggested, in Fort Worth one Sunday afternoon.
Mr. Jenner.
When you say "them," you mean----
Mr. Taylor.
The two De Mohrenschildts. And we met the Oswalds and also----
Mr. Jenner.
Excuse me. What did you do? You went to the concert over there?
Mr. Taylor.
We went to the Oswalds' home. We had been given an address and a time when the De Mohrenschildts would already have arrived.
Mr. Jenner.
And when you arrived at this place, were your father-in-law and mother-in-law present?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes; they were.
Mr. Jenner.
And where was this?
Mr. Taylor.
This was on Mercedes Street. I do not remember the number.
Mr. Jenner.
In Fort Worth?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes, sir; in Fort Worth.
Mr. Jenner.
You located the apartment, as you had been advised of the number?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes; it was a house.
Mr. Jenner.
It was a house----not an apartment?
Mr. Taylor.
It was a house.
Mr. Jenner.
Was it a single-family dwelling or a duplex?
Mr. Taylor.
I'm not sure. It was either a single-family unit or a duplex.
Mr. Jenner.
You have no present recollection which one it was?
Mr. Taylor.
No, sir; I do not.
Mr. Jenner.
Describe to us what you saw in the way of the room or rooms, the surroundings, whether neat and clean and whether threadbare or new furniture or what did it look like inside?
Mr. Taylor.
It was a comparatively bare room, as I remember, uncarpeted. The furniture was badly worn. It was, however, clean--particularly so considering the number of people that were there.
Mr. Jenner.
And it was orderly--not messy?
Mr. Taylor.
That's right.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, when you entered that room, there were present two persons introduced to you as Mr. and Mrs. Oswald?
Mr. Taylor.
That's right.
Mr. Jenner.
Was Mrs. Oswald introduced to you as Marina Oswald?
Mr. Taylor.
I believe she was.
Mr. Jenner.
And your father-in-law and your mother-in-law, the De Mohrenschildts, yourself, and your wife anybody else present?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes; several other people were present. Lee Oswald's mother was there.
Mr. Jenner.
Marguerite Oswald?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes. George Bouhe was there. A Mr. and Mrs. Hall was there--- John Hall and his estranged wife. I'm not sure of her name---first name.
Mr. Jenner.
Elena [spelling] E-l-e-n-a--Hall?
Mr. Taylor.
Elena.
Mr. Jenner.
Which, of any, of these people had you known prior to the time that you stepped into this room?
Mr. Taylor.
Only the De Mohrenschildts.
Mr. Jenner.
So, this was your first acquaintance with the Halls, your first acquaintance with Marguerite Oswald, and your first acquaintance with Lee and Marina Oswald?
Mr. Taylor.
That's right.
Mr. Jenner.
And what ensued---by way of what anybody did and what anybody said?
