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
He does not often work. In fact, during the times that I was married to
his daughter, I have not known of him to hold any kind of a position
for which he received monetary remuneration. So, as a result, why, he
could spend his time at his favorite sport, which is tennis. And this
could be in 32° weather in the bathing shorts I mentioned--only.
Mr. JENNER. On any time during the week?
Mr. TAYLOR. Any time during the week. They have always owned
convertibles and they would ride in them in all kinds of weather with
the top down. They are very active, outdoor sort of people.
Mr. JENNER. When you say "they," you mean he and his present wife?
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes; uh-huh.
Mr. JENNER. Is she unconventional at times in her attire in the
respects you have indicated in regards to him?
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes; very similar.
Mr. JENNER. She, likewise, wears a bathing suit out on the street, does
she?
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes; quite a bit. And usually a Bikini.
Mr. JENNER. What about his political philosophy?
Mr. TAYLOR. Uh--well, that's--uh--I have heard them say
everything--from saying that he was a Republican and she expressed
democratic ideals, and they expressed desires to return to Russia
and live--so, it's all colors of the spectrum. Anything that--again,
so much of what they do is what fits the moment. Whatever fits their
designs or desires at the moment is the way they do it.
Mr. JENNER. Uh-huh. When did you marry your present wife?
Mr. TAYLOR. In--let's see--on November 21, 1959.
Mr. JENNER. Your present wife?
Mr. TAYLOR. Oh, I'm sorry. That was Mr. De Mohrenschildt's daughter
that I married on that date. We married on September 28, 1963.
Mr. JENNER. Have you had any correspondence from either of the
De Mohrenschildts in which there have been any allusions to the
assassination of President Kennedy or to either of the Oswalds?
Mr. TAYLOR. I have not personally received any correspondence at all
from them. My parents have received correspondence from them--none of
which mentioned--I take that back--in one case, the assassination was
mentioned in passing; and the Oswalds were not mentioned in specifics.
Mr. JENNER. I take it, your parents are acquainted with the De
Mohrenschildts?
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And does that acquaintance go back prior to your
acquaintance with the De Mohrenschildts?
Mr. TAYLOR. No; that acquaintance was after Alex and I got married.
Mr. JENNER. I see. All right. Now, we have had some discussions off the
record. I will ask you first--is there anything you would like to add
that occurs to you that you think might be helpful--as an occurrence
having taken place or even general thoughts on your part--to the
Commission in this important investigation it has undertaken?
Mr. TAYLOR. Well, the only thing that occurred to me was that--uh--and
I guess it was from the beginning--that if there was any assistance or
plotters in the assassination that it was, in my opinion, most probably
the De Mohrenschildts.
