Mrs. Hall had had an accident, and she had either a broken leg or a broken arm, something like that, and she was in a cast. That is it. So we were talking about the accident most of the time, you see, what happened.

Mr. Jenner.

Well, that is a fact.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes; she had an accident. I remember now.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you have any discussion or do you have any opinion with respect to Marina's religious belief, whether she had any, any religious feeling?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. I had a vague impression--I don't remember because I do not discuss religion too often--that she had religious beliefs of some sort, you see. She was a Greek Orthodox and did have some sort of religious belief.

Mr. Jenner.

What about Lee, on the other hand?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Lee, I think religion did not exist for him.

Mr. Jenner.

He didn't believe in God?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. God, I don't know, because I didn't ask him a straight forward question, but I know that he did not believe in any organized religion. That is for sure. But he never was militantly against religion as far as I remember.

Mr. Jenner.

But you have no recollection of any discussions or any impression on your part about Marina going back to Russia at any time?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Something vaguely goes on in my head.

Mr. Jenner.

Oswald trying to get her to return to Russia?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Something vaguely goes on in my mind, but I do not recall. Very possible, you see, that something was mentioned like that. I didn't pay any attention, in other words.

Mr. Jenner.

Did Oswald express views with respect to individual liberty and freedom of the press?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. I don't think he understood the freedom of the press, and individual liberties. I think he was too stupid to understand the advantages we have of the free press and the free speech. Not too stupid, I mean, but too uneducated to understand the great advantages we have in free press and free discussion and in individual freedoms.
Like many native-born Americans, he did not appreciate the advantages you get in this country, you see. You have to be a foreigner to appreciate it a little bit more. Many Russians, all the Russian refugees appreciate that, you see, but many who are born here don't appreciate it. Not all of them.

Mr. Jenner.

What about Marina and her politics?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Marina was definitely more appreciative of life in the United States.

Mr. Jenner.

Was she inclined to discuss politics?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Not too much; no. That was Lee's main point, you see, to discuss politics.

Mr. Jenner.

What was her attitude toward Lee's views in that respect?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. She more or less considered him a crackpot, as far as I remember, you see. A few times she said, "Oh, that crazy lunatic. Again he is talking about politics."
This is one of the reasons we liked her, because that was a very intelligent attitude, you see, but it was very annoying to Lee.

Mr. Jenner.

That was another source of annoyance between them?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes; there were so many sources of annoyance, as you know, that it was just an unhappy marriage.

Mr. Jenner.

You have stated at one time Oswald gave you something to read that he had written.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes; I don't remember at what particular time, but he gave me to read his typewritten memoirs of his stay in Minsk.

Mr. Jenner.

Was it in the form of a diary?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes, more or less the form of a diary, not day by day, but just impressions. And as far as I remember, I read through these typewritten pages, I don't remember how many of them there were, and made comments on it, you see. But I don't think they were fit for publication.

Mr. Jenner.

Were they political in nature?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. No; not political in nature, but there was nothing particularly interesting to an average person to read. It was just a description
