According to an article in the 1 April.1977 Washingon Star, George de Mohrenschildt, who had befriended the Oswal in ,1962 had attempted suicide four times in 1976. As a result he was committed for mental care to the Parklnd .Memorial Hospital in Dallas in the fall of 1976. He was:released on 30 December 1976. 2.. In early January 1976, according to Willem Oltmans, a Dutch journalist working. for Dutch television, who had known de Mohrenschildt since at least 1967 and perhaps earlier, de Mohrenschildt told Oltmans that he was writing. a.book entitied I'm a Patsy, I'm a Patsy. It purports to tell the whole story:of the conspiracy and,. according to Oltmans, described how de Mohrenschildt considered himself responsible for Oswald's actions. The book has not been published and the manuscript is apparently in the bands of de Mohrenschildt's lawyer, Pat S. Russell of Dallas.. Oltmans is cited in a Washington Star article of 31 March 1977 as stating that de Mohrenschildt had once. said that. I only made up the story (about Oswald) because every- body makes a million dollars off the Kennedy assassination, and I haven't made anything. So now it's my turn.' 3. In early March 1977, Willem Oltmans appeared before the House Assassinations Committee to tell about de Mohrenschildt's decision to tell his version of the Kennedy murder.. It was this appearance before Committee staffers that prompted the panel .to send Gaeton Fonzi, an investigator, to Palm -Beach in an attempt to question de--Mohrenschildt. Fonzi located where de Mohrenschildt was staying in Palm Beach. but was unable to see de Mohrenschildt. The latter shot himself with a 20-gauge shotgun on 29 March 1977, in the home of Mrs. Charles Tilton,.III, a relative by . marriage, about six hours .before the interview .was to take place. 4.
