Warren Commission (09 of 26): Hearings Vol. IX (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
That in the course of several interviews by the FBI, the Secret
Service, and the Dallas Police Department which have occurred, and
between these and since the last one, I have naturally tried to
remember all that I can concerning the areas in which I was vague in my
memory. And at my last interview concerning this one particular item,
it occurred to me that at one time--once--I went to--uh--and looked
for a place where Lee was staying in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas and
tried to locate him. I remember going and trying to locate him. I don't
remember whether I found him or whether I did not. I know that--uh----
Mr. JENNER. Can you pinpoint this as to time?
Mr. TAYLOR. No; that's the trouble. I can't pinpoint it as to time. I
just remember some vague directions that----
Mr. JENNER. What about year--1962?
Mr. TAYLOR. 1962 definitely.
Mr. JENNER. And it had to be some time after----
Mr. TAYLOR. It had to be some time between September and November 15,
because my wife and I separated after that. Anyway, at some point
during this period, I do remember going to an area in Oak Cliff and
looking for Lee. I don't think I found him--at least, not on the
occasion I remember. All I had was some vague directions that----
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 think
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 had 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?
