United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. TAYLOR. My social intercourse with Marina during this period
was somewhat limited. She and my wife at that time, Alex, were
able to--uh--not to discuss anything, but were able to communicate
sufficiently to get along and perhaps even enjoy each other's company
to some extent. My son and their daughter, June, are within a month of
the same age; so that helped the barrier of language somewhat in their
being able to play with the children and the children play with each
other.
Mr. JENNER. Did she have any visitors during that week--or did you say
2 weeks?
Mr. TAYLOR. Two weeks.
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?
