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
Mrs. LESLIE. I don't know exactly, so they was walking and what were
the arrangements he made--with some Life Magazine, or something,
but he is a geologist anyway. She took this job in Haiti also make
geologist, and when I came here he already was married, but it happens
like so, once he lost his little boy from another wife and he was very
much grieving about this boy, so my daughter, being his friend, she
sympathizes with him and wrote him a little letter. She wrote him a
letter of sympathy because he lost his little boy and then his wife,
Jeanne, called my daughter and said that they was not meeting since he
was married and she said she would like to meet her and since then,
occasionally, we was meeting them at Fords and other houses and then
once at Christmas time she invited them to come to our house, so they
were once at our house. Now, I didn't know them before and I will
tell you something--that what many people were afraid of, his wife is
atheist. She doesn't believe in God.
Mr. JENNER. This is Mrs. De Mohrenschildt?
Mrs. LESLIE. Yes--his wife, and he wasn't, when he was going with my
daughter, which is very religious, he was going to church, even singing
in chorus of church. After he married this Jeanne he became atheist
too, you know, so I don't know--maybe he always is under the influence
of somebody, but it is hard to tell, but I cannot judge them. I don't
know how to judge the characters that they are, but everybody says,
"Well, he is under influence of this Jeanne." That's all they say about
him.
Mr. JENNER. Is there anything extraordinary about him in his dress and
his attitude?
Mrs. LESLIE. You know, after this trip, they are very--they don't like
to dress. You can invite them for Christmas and he will come in slacks,
dirty, and in sweaters, you know, his appearance always shocked me a
little bit. You know, when you invite people for dinner, you expect
them to be more or less decent dressed, and she, too, and they was
saying when they were making this trip to Mexico or South America, or
I don't know, they was walking in bikinis and practically naked and
there was dogs and a mule, and you know, so I don't know what kind of
people--whose influence was this and was he the same before or not, I
cannot tell.
I never was interested in that, in this family, you know, close, so
that's all I know about De Mohrenschildts.
