Mr. JENNER. I think I will ask you at this point, Mr. De Mohrenschildt, you are a man of very superior education and extremely wide experience and acquaintance here and in Europe, South America, West Indies--you have lived an extremely colorful life. You are acquainted to a greater or lesser degree with a great variety of people. Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes. Mr. JENNER. Did there go through your mind speculations as to whether Oswald was an agent of anybody? Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. No. Mr. JENNER. Why? Before I put it that way--when you say "No," am I correct in assuming that you thought about the subject and you concluded he was not an agent of anybody? Is that what you meant? Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. I never thought even about it. I will tell you why I thought he never was--because he was too outspoken. He was too outspoken in his ideas and his attitudes. If he were really--if he were an agent, I thought he would have kept quiet. This would be my idea. Mr. JENNER. You say he was outspoken. What do you base that on? Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. For instance, he showed me his--he discussed very freely with me, when he showed me his little memoirs. Mr. JENNER. I am going to show you those papers in a little while. Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Those memoirs I think are very sincere. They explain more or less the sincere attitude of a man, sincere opinion of a man. Mr. JENNER. Before I show you any papers, I want you to finish this reasoning of yours. Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. I did not take him seriously--that is all. Mr. JENNER. I know you didn't. Why didn't you? Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Well---- Mr. JENNER. You are a highly sophisticated person. Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Well, he was not sophisticated, you see. He was a semieducated hillbilly. And you cannot take such a person seriously. All his opinions were crude, you see. But I thought at the time he was rather sincere. Mr. JENNER. Opinion sincerely held, but crude? Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes. Mr. JENNER. He was relatively uneducated. Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Oh, yes. Mr. JENNER. Quite, as a matter of fact--he never finished high school. Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes; I did not even know that. Mr. JENNER. Did you have the feeling that his views on politics were shallow and surface? Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Very much so. Mr. JENNER. That he had not had the opportunity for a study under scholars who would criticize, so that he himself could form some views on the subject? Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Exactly. His mind was of a man with exceedingly poor background, who read rather advanced books, and did not understand even the words in them. He read complicated economical treatises and just picked up difficult words out of what he has read, and loved to display them. He loved to use the difficult words, because it was to impress one. Mr. JENNER. Did you think he understood it?
