Mohrenschildt convinced lawyer of conspiracy { April 3 1977 }

Lawyer Says Texan Told Him Oswald Had Aid in '63 Plot
April 3, 1977
p. 17


DALLAS, April 2 (UPI) - An attorney said today that George de Mohrenschildt convinced him before he died that there had been a conspiracy to assassinate President Kennedy, but "never did indicate" that he was involved in it.

"I definitely feel there was a conspiracy and that definitely was the opinion of George," said Pat S. Russell, who was the opinion of George," said Pat S. Russell, who was Mr. Mohrenschildt's attorney. "But, George never did indicate any involvement."

Mr. de Mohrenschildt shot himself to death last Tuesday in Palm Beach, Fla., shortly after being told that the House Assassinations Committee was seeking his testimony.

Mr. Russell was subpoenaed by committee investigators yesterday to produce documents Mr. de Mohrenschildt left with him. Mr. Russell said he planned to turn over the documents, but added that they would shed little light on the alleged conspiracy.

"There may be opinions to be had that might be interest, that might lead to further investigation, bit there's nothing substantial or startling," he said.

A Dutch journalist, Willem Oltmans told the Congressional committee yesterday that Mr. de Mohrenschildt had implicated himself in the conspiracy, along with the late H.L. Hunt, the Texas oil millionaire, Lester Logue, anti-Castro Cubans and others.

Mr. Russell confirmed reports that Mr. de Mohrenschildt had told him that Lee Harvey Oswald, who was identified by the Warren Commission as the assassin, considered him a "father figure." Mr. de Mohrenschildt, a Russian-born language professor at Dallas's Bishop College, and his wife were friends of Mr. Oswald and his Russian-born wife, Marina.

Mr. Russell said that the papers his client had left him included "a book-length manuscript which describes in minute detail his relations with Lee Harvey Oswald, two unpublished pictures of Oswald, lengthy tapes made by George and his wife shortly after the assassination and other correspondence and memorabilia."

Experts Examine Letter

DALLAS, April 2 (AP) - Three hand-writing experts have examined a letter dated Nov 8, 1963, to an otherwise unidentified "Mr. Hunt" and have concluded that it was written by Mr. Oswald, The Dallas Morning News reported today.

The letter says: "I would like information concerning my position. I am asking only for information, I am suggesting that we discuss the matter fully before any steps are taken by me or anyone else."

Penn Jones Jr. of Midlothian, a retired newspaper editor, told The News he obtained the letter through the mail from an unidentified person from Mexico City. He said the sender told him that he gave a copy of the letter to Clarence M. Kelly, Directory of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in late 1974. An FBI spokesman has said the bureau knows nothing about the delivery of the letter to Mr. Kelley.

However, the Dallas office of the bureau acknowledged yesterday that a letter purportedly written by Mr. Oswald to a "Mr. Hunt" was under investigation.
