Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. Yes.
Mr. Jenner. And he was there—how long did he stay?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. He stayed there until about February of 1954.
Mr. Jenner. And then he did what?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. Then he went to California.
Mr. Jenner. Was he working?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. No; he went to visit my brother for holidays. We always tried to go to California instead of going to Miami, to be with my brother. And he liked it so much, and we wanted so much to move to California. So we thought if he goes there, maybe he can locate something while I finish my contract. My contract was expiring in the spring of 1954.
Mr. Jenner. Your contract with Nardis?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. Yes; then I would go there, also, also in the late spring or early summer—maybe he can locate something in the meanwhile, in California.
And then I was very lucky. It was Mr. Gold's tough luck. But it was good luck for me, because he was indicted for taxes. There was a tremendous scandal. And he had two buildings—he lost one of the buildings. In other words, he could not afford even to go into the suit operation, and go ahead with it. So he was very glad that I asked for release, and he was glad to give it to me. He thought I am going to demand money and everything, because he wants to drop the contract before. And I was very glad. It worked out very nice for me. We remained good friends. And then I went to California.
