(Testimony of Gary E. Taylor)
Mr. Jenner.
From whom?
Mr. Taylor.
Well, directly from my wife but indirectly I believe that came to her from Mrs. De Mohrenschildt.
Mr. Jenner.
Were you requested to seek to locate him?
Mr. Taylor.
I don't know why I was trying to locate him. I don't remember anything except I remember driving around one area one evening looking for a residence of his on some vague directions. As I say, I don't even remember if it was a residence of the whole family or just of Lee.
I went back to this area within the last few weeks and located a building that stuck--or I had a recollection of one building in this area and I went back to the area and found it and gave that information to Agent Yelchek of the FBI. I don't know what he----
Mr. Jenner.
What location was that?
Mr. Taylor.
I gave him the exact street address---but it seems to me like it was---well, the name of the apartment building was the Coz-I-Eight [spelling] C-o-z---I---E-i-g-h-t--apartments, and I thing they were located at 1404 North Beckley. But the address I could be off on; but the name I do remember.
Mr. Jenner.
What kind of a building was this?
Mr. Taylor.
An apartment building.
Mr. Jenner.
Brick?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
A more substantial-type thing than you bad seen the Oswalds occupy prior thereto?
Mr. Taylor.
Repeat, please.
Mr. Jenner.
Was this a building of a substantiality higher caliber than the Elsbeth Street home, for example?
Mr. Taylor.
Uh--I would say it was in the same class.
Mr. Jenner.
Did the occasion arise in which Lee Oswald called you to ask you to assist in moving him and Marina to an apartment in Dallas?
Mr. Taylor.
I'm not sure how definitely that was--I'm not definitely sure how that was instigated. I'm not sure. It was either Lee directly or Mrs. De Mohrenschildt that asked for this assistance in moving. Whichever it was, my wife and I got together with Lee, I believe, on a Sunday afternoon.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you pick him up or did he come to your home?
Mr. Taylor.
I cannot remember.
Mr. Jenner.
Did he have anything with him in the way of luggage?
Mr. Taylor.
I believe he did.
Mr. Jenner.
Describe it, please.
Mr. Taylor.
I believe he had a paper bag of clothing, a rather large one, and an old leather suitcase. And that he had these two containers of personal belongings, and we went to Fort Worth and added Marina's to this--Marina's belongings and the household furnishings, whatever they were. and brought it all to the Elsbeth Street apartment.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, did you pile all of this clothing and household furniture, to the extent they had any, in the rear of your automobile and haul it back to Dallas? Or how did you do this?
Mr. Taylor.
I rented a trailer in Fort Worth.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, where did you rent that trailer? Where was the place located from which you rented the trailer?
Mr. Taylor.
I do not remember. I have even been to this place recently again with Mr. Yelchek of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. And we went over one evening and pinpointed the location of that service station where I had rented a small covered trailer and----
Mr. Jenner.
A small covered trailer?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes; it was covered.
Mr. Jenner.
And give me the location of the place you pinpointed with Mr. Yelchek.
Mr. Taylor.
I don't remember an address on the service station. It is a mile or so north of Texas Christian University in Fort Worth.
Mr. Jenner.
I see. Does University Drive sort of refresh your recollection?
Mr. Taylor.
It--uh--could be University; yeah. However, it was not University Drive. It was another street which I just can't remember. This
