Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes.
Mr. Jenner. And how did that come about?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Well, I was interested in the oil industry and wanted to see in which way I could fit into the oil industry.
Mr. Jenner. Whom did you contact? How did you get there?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Well, I went by bus—to Texas by bus. But what actually helped me was that my sister-in-law, my wife's sister, had a very, very close friend in Louisiana, Mrs. Margaret Clark—Margaret Clark Williams, who had large oil properties, large estates in Louisiana. That is about the year 1939.
I got to Louisiana, as the guest, I remember—with my sister-in-law's aunt, Mrs. Edwards. And then I looked the situation around in New Orleans and decided to apply for a job with Humble Oil Co.
Mr. Jenner. In New Orleans?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. No. They had a branch office in New Orleans, but I had to apply for a job in Houston. So I went to Houston, and I applied for a job with Mr. Suman, who is vice president of Humble Oil Co. Also I met the chairman of the board of the Humble Oil Co. through mutual acquaintances.
Mr. Jenner. Did you return to Louisiana and do some work there?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes; I worked in Terebonne Parish, on a rig.
