Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. What do they say we did?
Mr. JENNER. Did you make--take some photographs when you were in
Aransas Pass?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Possibly; of each other.
Mr. JENNER. You took no photographs of a Coast Guard station at Aransas
Pass?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. I don't recall that.
Mr. JENNER. Did you make any sketches?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes--because I like to sketch. By the way,
I forgot to tell you, I like to sketch. I sketched the dunes, the
coastline, but not the Coast Guard station. Who gives a damn about the
Coast Guard station in Aransas Pass?
Mr. JENNER. I can tell you that is what got you into trouble.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Is that so? Well, you know, you are the first one
to tell me about that.
Mr. JENNER. I want to know this. This interest that you say you have,
which I will bring out later, in sketching, in painting, water colors,
and otherwise--you and this lady with whom you were in love were down
at Aransas Pass, you went down there for the purpose of having an
outing?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes. I even have those sketches today, of the Bay
of Corpus Christi, of the seashore near Aransas Pass.
Mr. JENNER. You apparently were not aware of the fact this country was
then at war.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. But nobody told me there was any military
installations around Aransas Pass.
Mr. JENNER. Well, you were seen sketching the countryside.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And that aroused suspicion.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. That is right. That is the whole thing.
Mr. JENNER. Now, you were driving cross-country, were you not, with
this lady friend of yours?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes.
