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
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. I mean either with me or with the mother--with
the mother who became Mrs.--what a complication--Mrs. Brandel--my
ex-wife, the the mother of my daughter Alexandra, became Mrs. Brandel.
Her husband is a Dutchman who lives in France and in Italy, and is a
television producer.
Mr. JENNER. So your ex-wife, Dorothy Pierson----
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. And myself--asked the judge to decide with whom
our daughter should stay. And she asked to stay with me. But I was not
married yet. This was in the time between the marriages. I was not
married. I could not offer her a home--although I wanted her to be with
me.
And then the judge said, "Well, you go with your mother to France."
And that is what she did. She went to France, stayed with her mother, I
contributed to the support. She stayed there for, I think, a year and a
half, and decided to come to stay with me in Dallas later on.
That is why we had the house on Thackery. She lived with us.
Mr. JENNER. She did come to live with you?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. After you were married?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes. She lived with us in Dallas for quite some
time.
And, finally, she eloped from school----
Mr. JENNER. From what school?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Highland Park School.
Mr. JENNER. In Dallas?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes, and married a boy from Dallas by the name of
Gary Taylor. She is divorced from him now.
Mr. JENNER. That was last September, was it not?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes, last September.
Mr. JENNER. And----
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. They have a little boy by the name of Curtis Lee
Taylor.
Mr. JENNER. And who has custody of that child?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. The boy has the custody.
Mr. JENNER. Gary Taylor?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Maybe I am wrong on that. Maybe they have a
divided custody. But the child right now, according to my information,
is with Gary Taylor and with Gary's mother, Mrs. Taylor.
Mr. JENNER. Gary has remarried, did you know that?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes. I keep in touch with Mrs. Taylor, find out
what is happening to the child.
Mr. JENNER. You say you keep in touch with Mrs. Taylor. Which Mrs.
Taylor?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Mrs. Taylor, Gary's mother, who, more or less,
takes care of the little boy right now.
Mr. JENNER. Following that divorce, your daughter--what did she do?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. She went to school, to Tucson, to study----
Mr. JENNER. What school is that?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Some secretarial school. And from then on, the
situation becomes vague to me, because I was already gone. I get
occasional reports telling that she left school, that she is somewhere
in New York right now.
Mr. JENNER. Has she remarried?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Not as far as I know. I am trying to get in touch
with her right now.
The last address is in some small town in New York, working in a
hospital. She always wanted to be a nurse. Supposedly she has a job as
some sort of a practical nurse in a hospital right now.
