United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JENNER. You liked American girls, too, didn't you?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. I am not queer, you know. Although some people
accuse me of that even--even of that. Not as much as some other people,
you know--because this girl really was the love of my life--Lilia
Larin. Anyway, both Machado and I fell in love with this girl. She was
a divorcee.
Mr. JENNER. She wasn't divorced as yet, was she?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. She was divorced already once. But she had a
husband some place in the background, who was a Frenchman.
Mr. JENNER. Guasco?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes. With whom I got into a fistfight. Well,
anyway, the best man won, as it goes in the book, and Lilia and I fell
in love--I just got a discharge from the military service in the United
States, 4-F, and she invited me to come with her to Mexico. This was my
experience with the FBI. Really, it is so ridiculous that it is beyond
comprehension.
Mr. JENNER. Well, on your way to Mexico----
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Around Corpus Christi--really, if we didn't
have a sad story to discuss, the death of the President, you could
laugh about some of the activity of the FBI, and the money they spend
following false trails.
Mr. JENNER. Well, they don't know they are false when they are
following them.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. That is right. I don't know whose advice they
followed.
But, anyway, here we were about ready to enter Mexico and stopped for
awhile in Corpus Christi. And there we decided to go to the beach, from
Corpus Christi. I think my visa was not ready yet.
Mr. JENNER. You stayed at the Nueces Hotel in Corpus Christi?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes; and we went to the beach.
On the way back from the beach, all of a sudden our car was stopped by
some characters.
Mr. JENNER. Excuse me. You went to Aransas Pass?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And when you were in Aransas Pass, what did you do?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. We swam; and probably stayed on the beach
enjoying the sunshine.
Mr. JENNER. Now----
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. What do they say we did?
Mr. JENNER. Did you make--take some photographs when you were in
Aransas Pass?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Possibly; of each other.
Mr. JENNER. You took no photographs of a Coast Guard station at Aransas
Pass?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. I don't recall that.
Mr. JENNER. Did you make any sketches?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes--because I like to sketch. By the way,
I forgot to tell you, I like to sketch. I sketched the dunes, the
coastline, but not the Coast Guard station. Who gives a damn about the
Coast Guard station in Aransas Pass?
Mr. JENNER. I can tell you that is what got you into trouble.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Is that so? Well, you know, you are the first one
to tell me about that.
