Mr. Raigorodsky, are this envelope and card in Mr. De Mohrenschildt's
handwriting?
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. Yes, they are.
Mr. JENNER. And was the card enclosed in the envelope here?
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. Yes, and here is another letter.
Mr. JENNER. Mr. Raigorodsky has handed me another letter written on
both sides, entirely on both sides in longhand, dated June 30, at
Miami, and signed "Jeanne and George De M.". [De Mohrenschildt Exhibit
No. 4.]
Do you recognize the handwriting on each side of that letter, Mr.
Raigorodsky?
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Whose is it?
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. De Mohrenschildt's.
Mr. JENNER. And did you receive it in due course subsequent to June
30--of what year?
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. 1963. This is very interesting--this is a map of
Haiti. You see where he sent me--he said "Our Shada Concession."
Mr. JENNER. Mr. Raigorodsky, has opened up a Texaco map of Haiti, [De
Mohrenschildt Exhibit No. 11] Republica Dominicana on the face of the
map--there is handwriting--do you recognize that handwriting?
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. Yes; that's George De Mohrenschildt's.
Mr. JENNER. Did you receive that from him?
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. I can't answer that--it probably is mentioned in one
of the letters.
Mr. JENNER. One of the letters I have identified?
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. But all of that is his handwriting?
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. Yes; and you see, he has written in here "Oil
possibilities Mellon Concession" and "Our Shada Concession."
Mr. JENNER. What is "Shada"?
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. That's where he claims he had the concessions for the
hemp.
Mr. JENNER. For hemp or sisal there?
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. Yes; sisal.
Mr. JENNER. These things will all show up on any photostat immediately
of this?
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. Sure.
Mr. JENNER. Now, I state for the record, Mr. Raigorodsky, has
authorized us to make a copy of papers I have identified and identified
them in the record, so one thing is helpful--I don't have to go to the
trouble of preparing a receipt because you have it in the record, and
secondly, in the event--if we seek to question Mr. De Mohrenschildt I
will have these documents identified as to their authenticity by way of
this questioning of you.
Thank you very much, sir, you have been extremely patient and I would
like the record to show that Mr. Raigorodsky appeared voluntarily,
also he has a very bad cold which has been quite obvious and came to
the U.S. attorney's office about 10:30 a.m. and then we repaired to
here, his office, and it is now 2:15 in the afternoon and he has been
under questioning during that whole period of time. I appreciate this
personally and I know the Commission will. I offer in evidence the
foregoing documents as Raigorodsky Exhibits Nos. 9, 10, 10-A, 10-B, 11,
11-A, 14, and 14A.
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. I hope to help you in some way, but I'm just as lost
at this moment as I was then.
Mr. JENNER. Well, you have been very helpful throughout this.
Mr. Raigorodsky, Miss Oliver, the reporter, will transcribe this
deposition possibly during the course of the week, if not, it will
be ready next week, and you have the right to read it and make some
corrections, suggestions or additions, and to sign it. That is a
privilege that is accorded you, if you wish to examine it. You may also
have a copy by purchase of a copy from Miss Oliver and whatever your
deposition is with respect to all these alternatives.
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. I would like to have a copy for sure, and I may, when
you might note in spelling in some of the names, I will be glad to help
you with that if you will call me on the phone before you put it down.
Mr. JENNER. All right, we thank you very much.
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. All right, thank you.
