United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
I don't know anything about him other than that except I was told he is
a physicist, as Chris' father is, and he is a rather unusual character
to meet and to know--being somewhat of a beatnik. But, at least, he
seems to, when he works, be able to make an awful lot of money and he
must have money because they--Ragnar and Chris--honeymooned on a yacht
that he owned, and to my knowledge, since he has not worked--which is a
period of 2 years.
Mr. JENNER. Does George De Mohrenschildt have a brother?
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. What's his name?
Mr. TAYLOR. Uh--he uses George De Mohrenschildt's original
name of Von Mohrenschildt. He is a professor at an ivy league
university--Cambridge, I think.
Mr. JENNER. Well, Cambridge would be Harvard. What about Princeton?
What about Dartmouth? Columbia? Brown? Cornell?
Mr. TAYLOR. At the moment, I don't remember. I should remember.
Mr. JENNER. Did you ever meet him?
Mr. TAYLOR. I never met him. I believe I talked to him on the
telephone. He passed through Dallas and called. I just talked to him
briefly on the telephone.
Mr. JENNER. Now, give me your impression of De Mohrenschildt. First,
describe him. What kind of personality is he?
Mr. TAYLOR. Uh--he is a rather overbearing personality; somewhat
boisterous in nature and easily changeable moods--anywhere from extreme
friendliness to downright dislike--just like turning on and off a light.
Mr. JENNER. What about his physical characteristics? Large, small,
handsome, or otherwise?
Mr. TAYLOR. He's a large man, in height he's only about 6'2" but he's a
very powerfully built man, like a boxer.
Mr. JENNER. Athletic?
Mr. TAYLOR. He is athletic. And he has a very big chest, which makes
him appear to be very much bigger than he actually is.
Mr. JENNER. Now, Mr. Taylor, do you know Mr. Liebeler? Mr. Liebeler is
a member of the staff.
Mr. TAYLOR. I don't believe I do. My letter told me that he would
contact me.
Mr. JENNER. All right. Give me a little more about the personality of
George De Mohrenschildt's--and I think I'm about ready to let you go
home.
Mr. TAYLOR. I would say that he has an inflammable personality. And
he's very likable, when he wants to be, and he oftentimes uses this to
get something he wants, put a person in a good mood and then, by doing
this, he tries to then drag whatever it is that he wants out of them.
Mr. JENNER. Is he unconventional?
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes; I would say that they lead a somewhat Bohemian life.
The furnishings in their home somewhat show this.
Mr. JENNER. Is he unconventional in dress?
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes; oftentimes wearing merely bathing trunks, and things
like this, that--for a man of his age, which is about 50 to 52--is a
little unusual.
Mr. JENNER. You mean out on the street?
Mr. TAYLOR. On the street, as a constant apparel.
