I remember I asked a physicist to invite them in Dallas, and they just refused. He said, "I don't know those people. I don't want to have anything to do with them."
Mr. Jenner. His recollection is about 10 days after he met them at your home, you called him and asked if he might be able to employ him, or might be helpful in his obtaining a job.
Does that stimulate your recollection that the events you mentioned yesterday occurred probably in December 1962 or January 1963—that is, the event regarding your effort to induce Mr. Ballen?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes—it should be probably at that time, because—I had the impression that it was earlier than that—when he was moving from Fort Worth to Dallas, at the very beginning. I still have the impression. Because that is where I was interested, to help them, you see.
I did not know that he lost his job with the other company. I didn't know that.
All this is later, after we had already gone.
So I have the impression that maybe he confused the time. It seems to me that I asked him at the very beginning when I met the Oswalds, when he lost his first job in Fort Worth and was trying to move to Dallas—that was the time.
Mr. Jenner. He lost his job at Leslie Welding Co.
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes. I don't know the name of that company, but it was some welding outfit.
Mr. Jenner. Sheetmetal work.
