Mr. De Mohrenschildt. What else did I do then?
Mr. Jenner. When you reached Palm Beach you met the lady who became your first wife, Dorothy Pierson?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes.
Mr. Jenner. Tell me who was Dorothy Pierson?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Dorothy Pierson was an attractive girl, the daughter of a local real estate man whose mother was married to an Italian, Cantagalli, Lorenzo Cantagalli, from Florence. And the mother and daughter came back to the United States during the war. She was the daughter of Countess Cantagalli by the first husband, who was an American. That is why her name was Pierson. And, anyway, Dorothy and I fell in love with each other and got married.
Mr. Jenner. She was quite young, was she not?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Very young.
Mr. Jenner. About 17 or 18?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes.
Mr. Jenner. And you subsequently married where?
