(Testimony of Igor Vladimir Voshinin)

Mr. Voshinin.
kind of nervous breakdown after that, and he is now in some kind of insane asylum or sanitorium, I don't know what.
Mr. Jenner.
In California?
Mr. Voshinin.
In California; yes. Bogoiavlensky is his actual name, not Le Gon.
Mr. Jenner.
Why don't we get your spelling on that name? We had somebody try it yesterday. Would you----
Mr. Voshinin.
If you give me a pencil, I may try it.
(After writing name, as set out above, hands paper to Mr. Jenner.)
I think that's it.
Mr. Jenner.
That spelling makes sense. I think that's probably an accurate spelling.
Mr. Voshinin.
Her daughter still keeps this name.
Mr. Jenner.
What is her daughter's first name the one you now have in mind?
Mr. Voshinin.
Christina.
Mr. Jenner.
Christina. And she also had a child--Alexandra?
Mr. Voshinin.
I don't know anything about it.
Mr. Jenner.
Did De Mohrenschildt have a daughter by the name of Alexandra?
Mr. Voshinin.
De Mohrenschildt has two daughters, but I wouldn't know their names.
Mr. Jenner.
All right.
Mr. Voshinin.
Though I met both girls, but I somehow slipped up. My wife probably knows them.
Mr. Jenner.
All right.
Mr. Voshinin.
Christina Bogoiavlensky is a very good girl--and her husband, too. They are quite different from the parents.
Mr. Jenner.
Go ahead.
Mr. Voshinin.
So, after that assignment in Yugoslavia, he had an assignment in Ghana--which somehow puzzled us. First of all, it was a pretty short assignment; secondly, that the thing is that he showed us a newspaper edited in Ghana in which, on the first page, was a short article describing the arrival of "this famous specialist in postal stamps--Mr. De Mohrenschildt. who came to Ghana on business as a representative of a Swedish company."
Well, De Mohrenschildt, what he says about that, he says, "Oh, those Jerks--they don't know anything."
Mr. Jenner.
Now, excuse me. The newspaper account was to the effect that De Mohrenschildt had come to Ghana as a representative of a Swedish company?
Mr. Voshinin.
Well, I don't know whether the word "Swedish," was in there--but it said, "As a representative,"--and he said that it would be this Swedish company.
Mr. Jenner.
He said that it was a Swedish company?
Mr. Voshinin.
Yeah. The newspaper may just had the name of the company, you know.
Mr. Jenner.
But it did mention De Mohrenschildt?
Mr. Voshinin.
Oh, yes. "George De Mohrenschildt, famous philatelist and specialist in stamps"--and so on.
And I said, "George, since when do you understand anything in stamps? Since when are you a specialist in postal stamps?"
"Oh," he said, "I'm not; but, first of all, those jerks there, they don't know the difference anyhow; besides that, that company also provides Ghana and other African country with stamps, and it also has trades in different other commodities and also has oil interests in Africa." So, he says, "I went there as their representative to see what parts of the country they would lease there for, you know, for oil leases and assign---and sign some kind of contract with them---with the Government of Ghana---in their name, and came back to Dallas.
Mr. Jenner.
And then he returned to Dallas?
Mr. Voshinin.
Yeah. And, later, he also referred that that company has interests in Nigeria---and he says, "you know, I am Swedish--so they rely on me."
