(Testimony of Max E. Clark)

Mr. Clark.
he is in town" and I said "I imagine they know who he is contacting because I know enough about the boys in the FBI; they would keep a record."
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you ever discuss Oswald with anybody in the FBI?
Mr. Clark.
Not before this happened.
Mr. Liebeler.
Have you ever had any official connection with the FBI?
Mr. Clark.
No; but I worked with them quite a bit when I was in security industrial with General Dynamics; that's when I became acquainted with Earl Haley.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you remember specifically having a conversation of this sort with De Mohrenschildt?
Mr. Clark.
I talked with George De Mohrenschildt about Oswald. I don't think I talked with him very much, maybe once or twice. Well, I saw Oswald this one time and, of course, we would see George De Mohrenschildt off and on, periodically up until the time he left and I received a letter from George every once in awhile from Haiti so I know him quite well.
Mr. Liebeler.
Have you received letters from Mr. De Mohrenschildt after the assassination?
Mr. Clark.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Has he said anything in these letters about the assassination?
Mr. Clark.
Oh, yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Can you tell us generally what he said?
Mr. Clark.
Well, one letter he said he just couldn't believe Oswald did it and he said he was quite surprised and he said that he had written to Mrs. Kennedy's mother because apparently George knew Mrs. Auchincloss or whatever her name is and had known Mrs. Kennedy when she was much younger and said he had written to her expressing his sorrow about this and that he felt that Oswald was not the one that did it.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did he give you any reasons for his feeling that way?
Mr. Clark.
No; he did not and then I received another letter from him and he just said he still couldn't believe that this had happened--that Oswald had done it.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you still have copies of those letters?
Mr. Clark.
I know I got at least one of them. I may have both of them. I know I got the last one.
Mr. Liebeler.
I would like you, if you would, you don't have them with you, of course?
Mr. Clark.
No; I don't.
Mr. Liebeler.
If you would look through your records when you go back to Fort Worth and if you do have any of those letters, I would appreciate if you would send them or copies to Mr. Sanders here and I will be back in Dallas next week and I would like to read the letters and may want to make them part of this record.
Mr. Clark.
Sure.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did De Mohrenschildt ever say to you in these letters anything to the effect he thought that the FBI was responsible for the assassination of President Kennedy?
Mr. Clark.
No.
Mr. Liebeler.
He never gave you any specific reasons why he did not think Oswald was the man who did it?
Mr. Clark.
No; George would be the type person that he is, he would not believe that anyone he knew would do anything that was out of line. He is an extremely likeable person and he is quite an adventurer. He walked through Mexico; he is extremely athletic and he is, well, actually, he should have lived 300 or 400 years ago and been an explorer or pirate or something like that.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you know how close his association with Oswald was?
Mr. Clark.
Well, I understand one time he threatened to beat Oswald to a pulp if he didn't leave Marina alone, quit beating her up.
Mr. Liebeler.
Who told you that?
Mr. Clark.
I forgot; one of the Russian group and I think George told me that.
Mr. Liebeler.
George De Mohrenschildt?
