Mr. Jenner.

English language lessons. I assume they were on sheets of paper. Is that correct?

Mr. Taylor.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

That George Bouhe had prepared for her?

Mr. Taylor.

George De Mohrenschildt.

Mr. Jenner.

Yes; that George De Mohrenschildt had prepared for her?

Mr. Taylor.

I remember asking Lee about his opposition to it on one occasion and as I remember he told me that--uh--or brushed it aside by saying, "It isn't necessary at this time"--something like that. And then, of course, he did take the lessons from her.

Mr. Jenner.

How do you know that?

Mr. Taylor.

Uh--because, as I remember, this was the first time that I had knowledge of her being beaten by him.

Mr. Jenner.

All right. Tell us about that.

Mr. Taylor.

As I remember it, shortly after they moved, Mrs. De Mohrenschildt----

Mr. Jenner.

They moved where? Into your home or from your home?

Mr. Taylor.

Moved into their apartment here in Dallas--the first apartment they had, on Elsbeth.
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt came by and told us that she had seen Marina and that she had a black eye, I believe, and was crying and said that she and Lee had had a fight over the lessons and they had been taken from her, and----

Mr. Jenner.

Lee had struck her?

Mr. Taylor.

Yes; that Lee had struck her.

Mr. Jenner.

She said that to you?

Mr. Taylor.

Yes; this is Mrs. De Mohrenschildt now. This is not Marina that said that.

Mr. Jenner.

Yes; I appreciate that.

Mr. Taylor.

And--not pursuant to that, but while we are speaking of their marital troubles, I seem to remember on one occasion where Marina left--I think this was somewhat later, probably in November----

Mr. Jenner.

Left the home?

Mr. Taylor.

Left Lee and went to stay with someone--I don't remember who. It may have been this woman in Irving that she was living with.

Mr. Jenner.

Mrs. Paine?

Mr. Taylor.

Mrs. Paine. I do not know where she went except that I was told that she had left him.

Mr. Jenner.

All right. Anything else that comes to your mind with respect to their relations, one with the other, and whatnot, covering this 2-week span while she was a visitor in your home?

Mr. Taylor.

The only other observation I would make is that---again, it has to do with relationship between them--and that is that to my knowledge at all the meetings between them that I was present at during this 2-week period, there was no personal communication between them--at least, that I was able to determine. Of course, I couldn't understand them when they spoke to each other in Russian. But, certainly, for this length of time, you would think that a man and woman married would want some time alone together. They could have we had parks nearby, within one door of us was a big park where they could have taken walks and been alone together and talked--but this never happened.

Mr. Jenner.

Uh-huh.

Mr. Taylor.

It was just like two friends meeting. There was nothing intimate or personal between them at these meetings.

Mr. Jenner.

No expressions that you could understand or, at least, conduct between them that would lead you to believe there were evidences of love and affection?

Mr. Taylor.

That's right.

Mr. Jenner.

It was more platonic--a friendship relationship?

Mr. Taylor.

Uh-huh.

Mr. Jenner.

Did he visit on more than one occasion in your home during the 2-week period?

Mr. Taylor.

Yes; on several occasions.
