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
Anyway, on Sunday, instead of playing tennis, we drove to Marina's
place early in the morning and told Oswald that we are going to
take her away from him, and the baby also, and we are going to take
her to Mr. and Mrs. Meller. I think George Bouhe made the previous
arrangement, because he was closer to the Mellers than I was. Or maybe
I called them. I don't remember exactly.
Anyway, they were ready to receive her.
And Lee said, "By God, you are not going to do it. I will tear all her
dresses and I will break all the baby things."
And I got very mad this time. But Jeanne, my wife, started explaining
to him patiently that it is not going to help him any--"Do you love
your wife?" He said yes. And she said, "If you want your wife back some
time, you better behave."
I said, "If you don't behave, I will call the police."
I felt very nervous about the whole situation--interfering in other
people's affairs, after all.
Well, he said, "I will get even with you."
I said, "You will get even with me?" I got a little bit more mad, and I
said, "I am going to take Marina anyway."
So after a little while he started--and I started carrying the things
out of the house. And Lee did not interfere with me. Of course, he was
small, you know, and he was a rather puny individual.
After a little while he helped me to carry the things out. He
completely changed his mind.
Mr. JENNER. He submitted to the inevitable?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. He submitted to the inevitable, and helped me to
carry things. And we cleaned that house completely.
We have a big convertible car, and it was loaded--everything was taken
out of that house. And we drove very slowly all the way to the other
part of the town, Lakeside, where the Mellers lived, and left her there.
Mr. JENNER. Did Lee accompany you?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. No; that was it. The next day or a few days
later--I don't remember exactly when--George Bouhe called me and
said, "George, you should not give Lee the address of where Marina
is." I think he came to see me about that--"because he is a dangerous
character, and he has been threatening me, and he had been threatening
Marina on the telephone."
Mr. JENNER. He knew where Marina was?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Maybe I am confused a little bit. He knew George
Bouhe's telephone number. He had been threatening him, and wanted to
know the telephone number or the address of where Marina was. And this
time my wife and I said we do not have the right not to let him know
where she is, because she is his wife, and we should tell him where
Marina is.
Now, I do not recall how it happened--maybe Lee came over to our
apartment in the evening. Anyway, we gave him the address of the
Mellers, you see, and told him that the best way for him to do is
to call ahead of time if he wants to see Marina, talk to her on the
telephone, and if she wants to see him, she will see him. And he was
very happy about that--because I thought it was a fair thing for the
fellow to do.
