United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JENNER. Dee or DeeDee? Is she sometimes called DeeDee?
Mr. TAYLOR. She may have been. And that they had two children, one of
which is deceased.
Mr. JENNER. And the one who still survives is male or female?
Mr. TAYLOR. Female.
Mr. JENNER. Do you know her name and whereabouts?
Mr. TAYLOR. Her given name is Nodjia--and I do not know the spelling of
it. It is, I believe, a Russian name.
Mr. JENNER. Could you spell it phonetically?
Mr. TAYLOR. [Spelling] N-o-d-j-i-a (phonetic).
Mr. JENNER. Is she married?
Mr. TAYLOR. No. She's a minor.
Mr. JENNER. She's still a minor?
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Where does she live?
Mr. TAYLOR. I believe in Philadelphia--but I can't be sure of that.
Mr. JENNER. The impression is, at least, that she is living with her
mother in Philadelphia?
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Rather than with the De Mohrenschildts in Port-au-Prince,
Haiti?
Mr. TAYLOR. That's correct.
Mr. JENNER. You are aware of the fact that George De Mohrenschildt
and his present wife now, are at least presently, are residing in
Port-au-Prince, Haiti?
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes.
(Off the record discussion follows.)
Mr. JENNER. In order that the record be not too confused, I think
it would be well that you finish recounting what led up to your
meeting with Marina and Lee Harvey Oswald, and then I will go back
when we finish that subject, and put the De Mohrenschildts in proper
perspective.
Mr. TAYLOR. All right.
Mr. JENNER. We have been off the record in the meantime, haven't we,
Mr. Taylor, during which time you recounted to me something about the
De Mohrenschildts and the relation between your present wife and the De
Mohrenschildts, and other matters in that connection?
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. We will bring that out later.
(At this point, Mr. Jenner asked your reporter to orient the witness by
referring back to the point of interruption, when he started recounting
how his meeting with the Oswalds came about.)
Your REPORTER. [Reading] "About a week before I met them, my wife was
told of them by either her father or stepmother--Mr. and Mrs. George De
Mohrenschildt."
Mr. JENNER. Now, that's where I interrupted. Please go on from there.
Mr. TAYLOR. They explained to us that----
Mr. JENNER. When you say "they," you mean whom?
Mr. TAYLOR. One or the other of the De Mohrenschildts.
Mr. JENNER. All right.
Mr. TAYLOR. Explained to my wife----
Mr. JENNER. In your presence?
Mr. TAYLOR. No.
Mr. JENNER. This is something your wife told you?
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. All right.
Mr. TAYLOR. That a Russian girl, Mrs. Oswald, was living in Fort Worth
with her husband, and that they were going to be--the De Mohrenschildts
were going to be in Fort Worth on Sunday afternoon attending a concert
and that after the concert, they would like for us to join them, the De
Mohrenschildts, and visit the Oswalds.
Mr. JENNER. Now, when was this?
Mr. TAYLOR. In early September of 1962.
Mr. JENNER. All right. Go on.
Mr. TAYLOR. We----
