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
Mr. TAYLOR. Dallas--about a block away from Elsbeth. And, anyway, I
went to this--where I had been directed, and found Marina at home.
Mr. JENNER. Was Lee at home?
Mr. TAYLOR. No, he was not.
Mr. JENNER. What day of the week was this?
Mr. TAYLOR. I don't remember.
Mr. JENNER. Why did you go there?
Mr. TAYLOR. Just for a friendly visit.
Marina was at home. She--her English had improved enough for her to get
across to me a few ideas. She said that Lee was not home, that--uh--I
don't remember her saying where he was. She said that he was attending
night school, Crozier Tech here in Dallas--which is our technical high
school and----
Mr. JENNER. Was this occasion in the early evening?
Mr. TAYLOR. I think it was in midafternoon.
Mr. JENNER. Midafternoon?
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Are you certain about that?
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes; uh--because this apartment in question had a small
balcony on the front of it and I remember the door was open and I
thought what a nice place for the baby to play and some of the baby's
toys--a ball and something or other--were out there on this porch, and
I thought how much nicer this was than the apartment they had had.
Mr. JENNER. Was that what led you to suggest that it was in the
afternoon rather than the early evening? It doesn't get dark here in
Texas--and this was what? The spring, did you say?
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. 1963?
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes. No; you are trying to say that it may have been early
evening, although it was still quite light. My memory tells me that it
was midafternoon.
Mr. JENNER. All right. Was anything said about the fact he was working?
Mr. TAYLOR. I don't remember her saying what he was doing or if he was
working at all.
Mr. JENNER. I shouldn't have used the term "working"--whether he was
employed?
Mr. TAYLOR. Uh--I don't think at that time he was. Again, it's just a
very, very vague recollection.
Mr. JENNER. Was she able to communicate with you, or you to understand,
as to what studies he was pursuing at Crozier Tech?
Mr. TAYLOR. No; I don't believe that I remember what he was studying at
all at Crozier Tech.
I did inform Marina of my impending divorce and--uh--in other words,
telling her that Mrs. Taylor and I were no longer living together and
we had separated. Uh--and she said that she had been ill, I believe.
And--uh--she invited me to come back in the evening and I left. And I
would say the whole interview with her took certainly no longer than 10
minutes.
Mr. JENNER. Uh-huh. And this, as you recall, was in 1963?
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Was anything said that his attendance at Crozier Tech was
in the night school?
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes; it was in the night school.
Mr. JENNER. But your visit was in the midafternoon?
Mr. TAYLOR. That's right.
Mr. JENNER. Did she indicate to you that he was then at Crozier Tech or
that he would be at Crozier Tech that evening?
