Mr. JENNER. Excuse me. You took her to the Mellers?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And she went from the Mellers to the Halls?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. That I do not remember any more. I do not recall
that. I thought she moved from the Mellers to Mrs. Ford, and from Mrs.
Ford to the house of the Rays.
What I recall now is that she had moved before to Mrs. Hall's house.
Mr. JENNER. You learned that she had already been at Mrs. Hall's home?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Something like that is in my mind--that she had
already tried to go away from Lee, and stayed with Mrs. Hall. But I am
not 100 percent sure.
I know that for the second time she was at Mrs. Hall's house, a little
bit later.
Mr. JENNER. What was your understanding of the difficulties they were
having?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Why was he physically beating her?
The difficulties were this: She was--just incompatibility. They were
annoying each other, and she was all the time annoying him. Having had
many wives, I could see his point of view. She was annoying him all the
time--"Why don't you make some money?", why don't they have a car, why
don't they have more dresses, look at everybody else living so well,
and they are just miserable flunkeys. She was annoying him all the
time. Poor guy was going out of his mind.
Mr. JENNER. And you and your wife were aware of this, were you?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes.
