Mr. De Mohrenschildt. She more or less considered him a crackpot, as far as I remember, you see. A few times she said, "Oh, that crazy lunatic. Again he is talking about politics."
This is one of the reasons we liked her, because that was a very intelligent attitude, you see, but it was very annoying to Lee.
Mr. Jenner. That was another source of annoyance between them?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes; there were so many sources of annoyance, as you know, that it was just an unhappy marriage.
Mr. Jenner. You have stated at one time Oswald gave you something to read that he had written.
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes; I don't remember at what particular time, but he gave me to read his typewritten memoirs of his stay in Minsk.
Mr. Jenner. Was it in the form of a diary?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes, more or less the form of a diary, not day by day, but just impressions. And as far as I remember, I read through these typewritten pages, I don't remember how many of them there were, and made comments on it, you see. But I don't think they were fit for publication.
Mr. Jenner. Were they political in nature?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. No; not political in nature, but there was nothing particularly interesting to an average person to read. It was just a description of life in a factory in Minsk. Not terribly badly written, not particularly well.
