Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Ruth Street. I do not remember Mercedes Street.
Mr. Jenner. Elsbeth?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Elsbeth—yes.
Mr. Jenner. He never lived on any street by the name of Ruth.
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. No.
Mr. Jenner. Yesterday you adverted, I thought, to a concept that this man seemed—he responded when you would bring him into a conversation or situation.
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes.
Mr. Jenner. That he was somewhat egocentric in that respect?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Very much so. And that is probably the reason that he was clinging to me. He was clinging to me. He would call me. He would try to be next to me—because, let's face it, I am a promotor and a salesman. So I know how to talk with people. I usually do not offend people's feelings. When I talk to people, I am interested in them. And he appreciated that in me. The other people considered him, well, he is just some poor, miserable guy, and disregarded him.
Mr. Jenner. Now, I would like to go into that a moment. It gradually developed, did it, that the people in the Russian colony, their curiosity—they had curiosity at the outset, and they had interest at the outset.
