(Testimony of Gary E. Taylor)

Mr. Taylor.
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt, on one occasion I remember specifically, and probably Mr. De Mohrenschildt, and George Bouhe came one time.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you hear anything from Lee Oswald during that 2-week period?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
When did you first hear from him?
Mr. Taylor.
I think on either the following Monday or Tuesday.
Mr. Jenner.
That would be the next day or the day after the Sunday meeting?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes; I believe I, or someone, talked to Lee on the telephone and I believe I went down and got him. I went down to the Y.M.C.A.
Mr. Jenner.
Here in Dallas?
Mr. Taylor.
Here in Dallas, on two or three occasions, and picked him up.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you go in to pick him up or did you find him in front of the building?
Mr. Taylor.
Uh--I think I did both. I remember specifically once going into the desk and asking for him and then telephoning him to come down.
Mr. Jenner.
You asked for him, you were given a room number, you used the house telephone to call him? Is that a fair statement?
Mr. Taylor.
Something--I just remember that I went in and asked for him and he came down. I did not go up to the room, but I do remember going in and his coming down to meet me.
Mr. Jenner.
All right. I think it might be helpful, now, if you would continue from the point after your 3-hour visit in the Oswald apartment late Sunday afternoon and early evening. You then took Marina to your home. Your recollection is that the next contact you had was that there had been a telephone call by Lee to your home. As a result of that call, you went to the Y.M.C.A. is that correct?
Mr. Taylor.
I believe so.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, why did you go to the Y.M.C.A. as a result of that call?
Mr. Taylor.
To pick him up so that he might visit his wife. (Recess: 3:35 p.m. Reconvened: 3:50 p.m.)
Mr. Jenner.
Now where were we?
Mr. Taylor.
Let's see, I believe I was talking, awhile back, about people that had seen them during this period. and I mentioned that there was only George Bouhe and Mr. and Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. And George Bouhe came by just, I think, to be sociable, and to see if he could give Lee any suggestions on where he might look for a job. And at some point during this period----
Mr. Jenner.
This is the 2-week period?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes; the 2-week period--Mrs. De Mohrenschildt came by and picked Marina up.
Mr. Jenner.
At your home?
Mr. Taylor.
At my home and took her, I believe, to a dentist.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, how do you know this?
Mr. Taylor.
Well, it sticks in my mind because while the two of them were gone, Marina's little girl, June. cried almost constantly because, I guess, it was the first time she had ever been away from her mother--and she cried constantly and wouldn't even eat for the whole period Marina was gone which, as I remember it, was the better part of I day. I think she had two teeth pulled, or something. I'm not sure about what was done other than that she did go to see, I think a charity--went to a charity dental clinic.
Mr. Jenner.
And it is your distinct recollection that she was taken to the charity dental clinic by your step-mother-in-law?
Mr. Taylor.
My mother-in-law. There's no "step" to me. Just mother-in-law.
Mr. Jenner.
I see. All right. By your mother-in-law.
Mr. Taylor.
That would be a stepmother to my wife.
Mr. Jenner.
All right. Did you ever take Marina to a dental clinic?
Mr. Taylor.
No---not to my recollection. I didn't take uh--Marina anyplace that I remember.
Mr. Jenner.
Are you familiar with the Baylor University College of Dentistry?
Mr. Taylor.
No; I know that there is one here; that they have one out at Baylor Hospital--but I'm not familiar with it otherwise.
