United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
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 service station was west of the South Freeway, as I say, about a
mile north of Texas Christian University.
Mr. JENNER. Uh-huh.
Mr. TAYLOR. I did originally think that it was on University but, upon
investigation of the--visual investigation, actually being there one
evening, why we did locate it and it was in another place.
Mr. JENNER. The place that you located when Mr. Yelchek accompanied
you was different from the one that you had remembered when you first
talked to the FBI?
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes; however, it, in my mind, is a positive identification.
There is no question about it.
Mr. JENNER. Your more recent one is?
