Mr. De Mohrenschildt. A cheap phonograph, to play those records.
Mr. Jenner. What else do you recall giving them—dresses?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. I do not——
Mr. Jenner. Toys for the baby?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Toys for the baby, definitely. And I am sure that my wife had given some dresses. But she will remember better than I do. But we never gave them one cent of money. This I recall—never—and Lee would not take money, you see. I might have given him a little bit if he had asked. But he was very proud about it. He resented when people gave something to Marina. Marina would take anything, you see—she would take anything from 5¢ up to anything. And the more the better. But Lee did not want to take anything. He had a very proud attitude. That is one of the reasons I sort of liked him, because of that. He was not a beggar, not a sponger.
Mr. Jenner. Did you notice over the period of time you knew him developments of resentment on his part of, say, these people in the Russian colony who had come here and had established themselves to a greater or lesser degree?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes; it was a very strong resentment on his part. It was almost an insane jealousy of people who succeeded where he could not succeed.
Mr. Jenner. Did you ever have any discussions with him on that? How did you acquire this feeling?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. That was again through my understanding of human nature, rather than from direct conversation. From hearsay, rather. You see, No. 1, for instance, the fact that he was so rude to the Clarks, because they lived very well. It is an insult in his face, the house that the Clarks have—very luxurious home, two cars, and so on and so forth. It is a slap in his face. This same thing that George Bouhe, a refugee, would give Marina $30 or $40 or a new baby crib, like that, like nothing. That was a slap in his face. The fact that I had a new convertible was a slap in his face. But he was not stupid enough just to say so. But you can feel that.
Mr. Jenner. Well, it might have been——
