(Testimony of George S. De Mohrenschildt)

Mr. Jenner.
You had some letters of credit?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT, Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Would that amount to around $6,000?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Probably.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you travel to various places in Mexico during this 9 months with this lady?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Now----
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. I had an apartment on my own in Mexico City, on Avenue De the main street of Mexico City. I don't recall the name. Paseo de la reforma.
Mr. Jenner.
Towards the end of that 9 months you ran into some difficulty in Mexico, did you not?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Boy, did I get in difficulty.
Mr. Jenner.
Was there a man by the name of Maxino Comacho?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. General in the Mexican Army.
Mr. Jenner.
And as a result of--just give me that in capsule form.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. I think he wanted to take my girl friend away from me. We were going to get married.
Mr. Jenner.
You were serious about that?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Very serious. She was getting a divorce. I think by the time she got to Mexico---she already got a Mexican divorce. I am sure she did. She was already free.
Mr. Jenner.
She had a Mexican divorce, but there was some question about whether it was good in the United States?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. That is right; something like that. Anyway, she was getting a divorce. She was an exceedingly beautiful person. We thought about getting married. And then this character intervened and had me thrown out of the country.
Mr. Jenner.
I am not interested in his accusation, but he made some accusation?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. He did, really?
Mr. Jenner.
I am asking you.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. No; no accusation. He said, "You are persona non grata in Mexico." I actually went to the American Embassy, as far as I remember, and said, "I am a resident of the United States, and why am I being thrown out of the country?" I don't know if they have done anything about it. Anyway, they suggested for me to leave, and go back to the States.
Mr. Jenner.
You didn't leave immediately, did you?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. I went into hiding for a few days, because some Mexican friends tried to have it all fixed. I remember the names of those Mexicans who tried to help me.
Mr. Jenner.
Manuel Garza; was he one of them?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And your attorney?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes; and Cuellar, another attorney. He is still a good friend of mine.
Mr. Jenner.
You then returned to the United States?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. They said, "That is the best way for you, to leave, because you cannot fight against the constitutional forces of Mexico."
Mr. Jenner.
While in Mexico, you engaged in no espionage for anybody?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. No.
Mr. Jenner.
You were in love with this lady?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
And you saw her frequently, and her friends and other friends, and did some traveling around Mexico?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Where did you get the money to do that?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Well, $6,000, you know. And then we shared alike. And I told you that life in Mexico was very cheap at the time. You could live on a hundred dollars a month. One of my best friends there at the time was a young MacArthur boy.
