United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
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 1 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.
Mr. JENNER. Would you fix the period when Marina was in your
home--first, the month?
Mr. TAYLOR. Uh--it was in September of 1962.
Mr. JENNER. And all of the stay was in the month of September, and none
of it in the month of October 1962?
Mr. TAYLOR. My memory, as I say, is not clear back that far. But--uh--I
personally have no recollection of dates involved. Even when I was
first interviewed, I believed it to be during this period we are
talking about. It was pinpointed for me one time that it would--that
Lee left his job on or about the 6th of September and that, just going
from that date, why it would, presuming, as I remember, that that was
a Friday in 1962, I believe that they came--she came to my home for a
period of 2 weeks after that. I don't believe that it lasted any longer.
Mr. JENNER. During this period, did you have occasion in calling from
your home or place of business to call Lee Oswald at the Y.M.C.A.?
Mr. TAYLOR. I believe I--uh--I may not have personally. I may have
dialed the telephone for Marina and asked for him so that she could
talk to him.
Mr. JENNER. Well, did you ever seek to reach him by telephone either
for yourself or for Marina?
Mr. TAYLOR. I don't specifically remember an occasion doing that.
Mr. JENNER. Do you recall any occasion when you made a telephone call
to the Y.M.C.A. in an effort to reach Lee Oswald?
Mr. TAYLOR. No; not specifically. I could only say that it is probable
that I would have.
Mr. JENNER. Do you recall whether Mrs. Taylor ever made an effort to do
so?
Mr. TAYLOR. No; I don't recall her having made an effort to do that.
