Mr. Jenner. Is his wife also a Russian emigre?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. I think she is of Armenian, or Russian and Armenian, extraction.
Mr. Jenner. In what connection did you meet him?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Already a long time ago. Oh, yes; I met him through another Russian, through ballerina, a Russian ballerina, another one who lived there—Natasha Krosofska, a famous ballerina.
Mr. Jenner. I am thinking of another name in Dallas, Mrs. Helen Leslie.
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes; that is her stepmother—the stepmother of the ballerina.
Mr. Jenner. She was part of the Russian group?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes; also from a typical old guard family—really hundred percent. To show you the atmosphere—who does not believe there are any new houses built in Russia today? She said in her opinion the Russia of today doesn't have any new houses, none whatsoever—only the old palaces from the czarist days.
Mr. Jenner. I interrupted you.
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. The really backward type old guard people. I am glad that you made such a distinction there.
