Mr. JENNER. And that's your opinion of him?
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. Oh, yes, without any question. You know, that field is quite a field--that you have to be supplied with a knowledge of underground structures and movement of the oil, and he had a good job, and as far as I know he quit the job--he was not fired.
Mr. JENNER. Are you acquainted with his reputation in this community for truth and veracity?
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. Well, I'll say there is no other way around this--I don't think his reputation is that of a truthful person.
Mr. JENNER. His reputation in that respect is poor or bad?
Mr. JENNER. Bad, and his reputation in the community as a man of morals, character, and integrity--is that bad or good?
Mr. JENNER. And his reputation in the community as a man of capability in the profession which he pursues?
Mr. JENNER. For example--as a petroleum geologist?
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. No; petroleum engineer--good. His knowledge of languages is good. In fact, he taught at the University of Texas. I believe he taught French or Spanish after he went to school there, where my daughter went, one of my daughters, and my son-in-law also went there at the same time.
Mr. JENNER. What is his reputation in the community as being a loyal American? If he has a reputation?
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. I don't think he has any reputation of that type. Now, remember there are two--he is in a different social circle now, you see, than he was before with his second wife.
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. In fact, if I'm not mistaken how he got to the Oswalds was through the Clarks. You see, the Clarks of Fort Worth were his friends.
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. No; he met them--I don't know where he met them, but they were not in the so-called Dallas social circle that he was originally in with his wife because of her being a Sharples.
Mr. JENNER. Do you know of any business interests of De Mohrenschildt in Houston?
Mr. JENNER. Yes; in the last 5 years, let's say?
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. Yes; he told me that he was going to see Herman and George Brown--they are brothers.
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. Well, again, don't put this down.
(Discussion between Messrs. Jenner and Davis and the witness, Mr. Raigorodsky, off the record.)
Mr. JENNER. Now; I want this on the record.
Mr. RAIGORODSKY. George has been friends with many, many influential people in many cities.
