Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. They were very insulting to this Mexican lady,
very insulting. And I think she made a complaint about them later on to
the Mexican Ambassador. And being a vicious Mexican girl, she doesn't
forget that. I think she told them they stole something from her. That
I do not recall exactly.
Mr. JENNER. As near as I can tell, she never made any such complaint
officially.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. I think she told me she will complain officially.
Mr. JENNER. She complained, but she never complained anything was
stolen.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. You reached Mexico City?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And--with this lady.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And you remained in Mexico how long?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Well, that is 5 months, 6 months--until they
expelled me from Mexico.
Mr. JENNER. Does this refresh your recollection--that you made a
statement in 1945 when you were questioned that you remained in Mexico
City for approximately 9 months, not doing much of anything except
painting and going around with Lilia?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. That is right. I did something. I invested some
money in a sugar factory there. I visited a sugar company there, and
the manager of the sugar company told me to invest some money in that
outfit, because it was going to--the stock was going to go up, which I
did. I made some nice money out of that investment.
Mr. JENNER. You had funds when you went into Mexico, did you not?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. You had some letters of credit?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Would that amount to around $6,000?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Probably.
Mr. JENNER. Did you travel to various places in Mexico during this 9
months with this lady?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes.
