Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes; I don't know the name of it. This company was going bankrupt, or that he was going to lose his job. At least that was his version. Maybe he was fired.
Mr. Jenner. That was his version. That wasn't the fact.
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. It was a fact?
Mr. Jenner. It was not. Your wife also took the baby for some medical care?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Now, this I am not so sure. She told Marina where to go, and told her, "You have to give the baby such and such injections." And this I remember well—that she didn't do it. She didn't go to that children's clinic, because of pure negligence. She is that type of a girl—very negligent, poor mother, very poor mother. Loved the child, but a poor mother that doesn't pay much attention. And what amazed us, you know, that she, having been a pharmacist in Russia, did not know anything about the good care of the children, nothing.
Mr. Jenner. How did you find out she had been a pharmacist in Russia?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Well, that eventually came—the second time or the third time that we met her—she told us the story of her life.
Mr. Jenner. Do you have a recollection as to what she told you?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes. Well, she said exactly her story of her life as she told me, that she comes from a family of ex-Czarist officers. That her father had been a Czarist officer of some kind—you see what I mean? I don't remember whether it was navy or army. I don't recall it any more. That her mother remarried, and that her stepfather did not treat her well. That they moved—I think they lived in Leningrad when she was a child. That eventually they moved to Minsk. I don't remember what her father's profession was.
One thing I remember—that one of her uncles was a big shot Government official, something like that—colonel or something like that. That I remember she told me.
