He said if we hit it, we are millionaires right away—which was true—we had a huge block, of 12,000 acres, something like that.

Mr. Jenner. You returned to Texas?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes.
Mr. Jenner. What year?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Abilene, Tex., we had the headquarters—that was the center of the small size independent operators at the time.
Mr. Jenner. What was the name of the hotel at which you stayed?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Wooten Hotel.
Mr. Jenner. And the partnership was still in existence?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes. Our partnership was broken up after I married Miss Sharples. It was, frankly, a personal thing.
