Mr. Jenner. Who is she?
Mr. Taylor. She is a cousin of my wife at that time.
Mr. Jenner. And your wife's name was Alexandra?
Mr. Taylor. Yes.
At any rate, I met—uh—at this time, I asked Chris out on a date and she said that she had her little sister—I think is the way she termed it at that time—visiting her, and could I find someone for her to go out with at the same time. And I did that, and I think we went out—couples of four, or two couples—on two occasions. And then I started dating the younger of the girls, which was Alex. And, during this time, why, I was in or around their home for a whole summer—in fact, until the time we married, and quite intimate with the whole family. Does that bring it chronologically up to date—or would you like the otherwise?
Mr. Jenner. Well, I don't know what the "otherwise" is.
Mr. Taylor. I skipped Mrs. Brandel in this, I think. They were married, as I mentioned, in New York City approximately 3 months before my former wife was born and divorced shortly thereafter. And he stayed away—or stayed in the background of Alex's life until 1958 when he and Mrs. Brandel, his former wife and Alex's mother went into court and sued the previously mentioned Mrs. Tilton for her custody.
When Alex was born, Mrs. Tilton paid by check, which I saw, Mrs. Brandel $5,000 for custody of the daughter, Alex; and they had to go into court and get this custody set aside—at which time the daughter went to Paris and lived with Mrs. Brandel, where she lived at that time.
Mr. Jenner. The daughter—this is Christiana?
Mr. Taylor. We're talking still about my former wife, Alex.
