United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. TAYLOR. Before my wife was born, and that their divorce came rather
quickly after she was born.
And, from that time until he married the wife, Dee or Dee Dee, my
knowledge of him is rather sketchy. I know that, at least, part
of the time they were married he resided in Dallas, was evidently
well-established in business here, and owned a home--which, I believe,
he had built to his own plans--and was generally well-accepted here in
the business community.
And then he gets a little vague--at least to my knowledge--after that
until 1958 or 1959 when I first met him--1958, I'm sure.
Mr. JENNER. Was he then married?
Mr. TAYLOR. He was then not married, to my knowledge.
Mr. JENNER. All right.
Mr. TAYLOR. He was living with the present Mrs. De Mohrenschildt
but they were not married; also living with them was her daughter,
Christiana or Chris or Jeanne, Jr.--whatever the particular alias she
felt like at the moment. And I met them through her.
Mr. JENNER. When you say "her," which----
Mr. TAYLOR. Through Christiana, Jeanne's daughter.
Mr. JENNER. Whom you subsequently married?
Mr. TAYLOR. No. This would be the half-sister. I guess it is a
half-sister of my wife's.
Mr. JENNER. All right. We should say, at this point, your former wife?
Mr. TAYLOR. My former wife. This sure is involved.
Mr. JENNER. You are doing all right. Go ahead.
Mr. TAYLOR. And I met Christiana through a mutual girl friend and we
dated over a period of a few weeks and then she left Dallas and started
attending U.C.L.A. as a student, and I don't believe I saw her any more
until--uh--May or June of 1959.
Mr. JENNER. Was the mutual friend through whom you became acquainted a
Nancy Tilton?
Mr. TAYLOR. No, no; the mutual friend was a girl named Judy Mandel, of
Dallas.
Mr. JENNER. Is the name Nancy Tilton familiar to you?
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Who is she?
Mr. TAYLOR. She is a cousin of my wife at that time.
Mr. JENNER. And your wife's name was Alexandra?
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes.
At any rate, I met--uh--at this time, I asked Chris out on a date
and she said that she had her little sister--I think is the way she
termed it at that time--visiting her, and could I find someone for her
to go out with at the same time. And I did that, and I think we went
out--couples of four, or two couples--on two occasions. And then I
started dating the younger of the girls, which was Alex. And, during
this time, why, I was in or around their home for a whole summer--in
fact, until the time we married, and quite intimate with the whole
family. Does that bring it chronologically up to date--or would you
like the otherwise?
Mr. JENNER. Well, I don't know what the "otherwise" is.
