United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. TAYLOR. That's right. They had not had advance permission and had
occupied it for a period of about 3 weeks--as best the people who
evicted them could determine from what was eaten and----
Mr. JENNER. In other words, they were trespassing?
Mr. TAYLOR. That's right.
(Off the record discussion follows.)
Mr. JENNER. You are basing your comment with respect to the De
Mohrenschildts' possible involvement, if there was any involvement
by anyone else with Oswald which you have already stated and you are
stating the reasons why. And you have related the walking trip down
through Mexico to the tip of South America. This was at the time of
the training of Cuban refugees for a possible invasion of Cuba. And
it was during the period of time in which you were married to the De
Mohrenschildts' daughter?
Mr. TAYLOR. That's correct.
Mr. JENNER. And now you have made a remark that we didn't quite get.
What was that?
Mr. TAYLOR. Are you speaking of what I said off the record?
Mr. JENNER. Yes.
Mr. TAYLOR. I summed it up by saying that--uh--there was an
indication here that they had been in an area where some spying or
information-gathering might be valuable to Communist interests. They
had expressed a desire to live in a Communist country; and that they
had traveled extensively through Communist countries.
Mr. JENNER. What countries?
Mr. TAYLOR. Poland and Hungary--no; I'm sorry. Poland and
Czechoslovakia. And Mr. De Mohrenschildt told me one time that he had
met Marshal Tito.
Mr. JENNER. In Yugoslavia?
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And did they make any trips to Europe during the period
that you were married to their daughter?
Mr. TAYLOR. No; they did not. These trips were prior to our marriage.
However, I had seen photographs and had some pointed out to me in the
family album--photographs of them in various Communist countries.
Mr. JENNER. I see. Where does your former wife, Alexandra, now live--if
you know?
Mr. TAYLOR. In Wingdale, N.Y.
Mr. JENNER. Is she married?
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. What's her husband's name?
Mr. TAYLOR. Gibson. I only know him as Don Gibson.
Mr. JENNER. What business is he in?
Mr. TAYLOR. I do not know.
Mr. JENNER. Where does Christiana reside--if you know?
Mr. TAYLOR. To my knowledge, they have not had a fixed residence since
they married. My last communication from the De Mohrenschildts said
that they were on their way to Europe and I don't know anything other
than that.
Mr. JENNER. All right. Is there anything in addition to what you have
already said that you would like to add to the record that you think
might be helpful to the Commission--that would open avenues for further
investigation or give us directly information that might be helpful?
Mr. TAYLOR. No.
