United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JENNER. But you do know that the Russian community, as such, of
which Mr. Bouhe was a member, was seeking to assist her?
Mr. MAMANTOV. Correct.
Mr. JENNER. By collecting clothing?
Mr. MAMANTOV. Right.
Mr. JENNER. Gathering money and taking her into their homes on
occasions?
Mr. MAMANTOV. That's right--assigning for certain families to keep for
a couple of weeks or a week.
Mr. JENNER. That included Mrs. Meller?
Mr. MAMANTOV. That included Mrs. Meller, Fords, and he tried to get
this person----
Mr. JENNER. When you say "he" you mean Mr. Bouhe?
Mr. MAMANTOV. Mr. Bouhe.
Mr. JENNER. He tried to place her with whom--Mrs. Grolle?
Mr. MAMANTOV. Yes; she's an elderly person and lives by herself and had
a few rooms for rent and as far as I know, she didn't take her into her
home.
Mr. JENNER. Well, we have no information that she did.
Mr. MAMANTOV. As far as I know, I don't think that she did, but I don't
think that she did, but Mellers and the Fords took her for a week or
for 2 weeks.
Mr. JENNER. Have you ever heard of a Mrs. Elena Hall?
Mr. MAMANTOV. Elena Hall--how do you spell it?
Mr. JENNER. H-a-l-l [spelling], E-l-e-n-a [spelling].
Mr. MAMANTOV. No; the first name--Elena Hall?
Mr. JENNER. Yes.
Mr. MAMANTOV. No, sir; you see, we have a secretary, Helene,
H-e-l-e-n-e [spelling] Hall, which couldn't be that person.
Mr. JENNER. No, that's a different person.
Mr. MAMANTOV. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Paul Gregory or Peter Gregory?
Mr. MAMANTOV. Yes, sir; father, I think, is Peter.
Mr. JENNER. You mean one is the father and one is son?
Mr. MAMANTOV. One is father's name and one is son's name--that's
correct, but his father is not living. Do you know how Russians call
your name--if I would refer to you, it is your name first and your
father's name second, instead of saying Mr. so and so, so that's how it
appears.
Mr. JENNER. What do they say in case--since my name and my father's
name are the same?
Mr. MAMANTOV. The same--it would be, if you are, for instance, Oswald,
it would be Oswald Oswald, each ending implies you are a son of Oswald.
Mr. JENNER. You have already mentioned Volkmar Schmidt.
Mr. MAMANTOV. Right.
Mr. JENNER. He was a roommate or lived with Mr. Glover.
Mr. MAMANTOV. And a close friend of Dick Pierce.
Mr. JENNER. P-i-e-r-c-e [spelling]?
Mr. MAMANTOV. Also a geologist.
Mr. JENNER. Or, P-e-a-r-c-e [spelling]?
Mr. MAMANTOV. No, P-i-e-r-c-e [spelling].
Mr. JENNER. What was his first name?
Mr. MAMANTOV. Richard, R-i-c-h-a-r-d [spelling].
Mr. JENNER. Is Mr. Norman Fredricksen a student?
Mr. MAMANTOV. I was teaching scientific Russian for the Socony Mobil
Research Lab in Duncanville, and this student joined. Actually, the
class was carried out first, well, first semester and Mr. Fredricksen
was hired by Socony Mobil and joined the class.
Mr. JENNER. How old a man is he?
Mr. MAMANTOV. Oh, I would guess around 28 plus.
Mr. JENNER. He is a young man?
Mr. MAMANTOV. Yes; he came to--he served in the Army.
