And during the ensuing months I have made inquiries of the Russian colony here and kind of came to the understanding that George had met him through George Bouhe.

Mr. Liebeler. Did you speak to Mr. Bouhe about that?

Mr. Ballen. No; I haven't seen George Bouhe.

Mr. Liebeler. Do you remember who told you that De Mohrenschildt and Oswald had met through Bouhe?

Mr. Ballen. It would have either been Declan Ford or Natasha Voshinin.

Mr. Liebeler. Did you discuss with any of these people the possibility that De Mohrenschildt might have had something to do with the assassination?

Mr. Ballen. No.

Mr. Liebeler. Have you heard anybody else discuss that question?

Mr. Ballen. No; it is question that to us would be so absurd; that is, the first time I have heard that question raised is today.

Mr. Liebeler. Yet you did say to your wife, as you have just testified, when you heard that, when you recalled that Oswald was the man that De Mohrenschildt had introduced you to, you said to your wife De Mohrenschildt had better have a good answer as to how he met Oswald; is that correct?
