(Testimony of John Edward Pic Resumed)

Mr. Pic.
Yes, sir; this is a picture of Lee Harvey Oswald, I guess at the same time, with a dog, and I am sure this was taken at Lillian Murret's in Sherwood Forest Drive.
Mr. Jenner.
At the same time that John Pic Exhibit No. 48 was taken?
Mr. Pic.
Yes; I think so.
Mr. Jenner.
All right. I hand you now John Pic Exhibit No. 56, a photograph of a young man. Would you identify that as to time and place if you can, and age, his age, the subject's age?
Mr. Pic.
Sir, this is a picture of Lee Harvey Oswald which I believe to have been taken when he was in about the second or third grade.
Mr. Jenner.
That would be when you were living in Dallas?
Mr. Pic.
Fort Worth, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Fort Worth, yes; 7408 Ewing.
Mr. Pic.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
I hand you John Pic Exhibits Nos. 57 and 58. I don't know which depicts this young man at the younger age. Take the younger one.
Mr. Pic.
Exhibit No. 57, sir, I believe was taken either in late 1951 or early 1952, and it shows a picture of Lee Harvey Oswald approximately how he looked when he came to New York to stay with my wife and I in August of 1952.
Exhibit No. 58, to my best recollection, I think, is a picture sent to me by my mother in approximately 1954, 1955, maybe in 1956, from New Orleans, La. It is a picture of Lee Harvey Oswald.
Mr. Jenner.
It is after they returned to New Orleans?
Mr. Pic.
I am pretty sure that picture was taken in New Orleans.
Mr. Jenner.
All right. I offer in evidence John Pic Exhibits Nos. 48, 49, 56, 57, and 58.
(John Pic Exhibits Nos. 48, 49, 56, 57, and 58 were marked for identification.)
Mr. Jenner.
What were the circumstances surrounding and leading up to your mother and Lee coming to New York City in the summer of 1952?
Mr. Pic.
I think this was brought on because Robert joined the service sometime previous to that. That would be about right, April 1952, did he join the service. I don't know when. He wasn't there at the time. He was in the service when they came.
Mr. Jenner.
Yes. He entered the service as soon as he reached his majority.
Mr. Pic.
So that would be April 1952.
Mr. Jenner.
Was there an incident respecting, between Robert and your mother and some young lady in which, in whom he was interested just before he entered the service?
Mr. Pic.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
You came to know about that?
Mr. Pic.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
By what means?
Mr. Pic.
By way of my mother, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
All right, what was it?
Mr. Pic.
Robert had been seeing this girl and she had a club foot. My mother didn't feel that they should be married. He wanted to marry her, and she conned him out of it.
Mr. Jenner.
All right. Had you received any letters from Robert on that subject at anytime?
Mr. Pic.
No, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Between the time you were home in October of 1950 and the summer of 1952, had you seen your mother or either of your brothers?
Mr. Pic.
No, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
All right. Now, my question to you was what led up to and what were the circumstances involving or surrounding the visit of your mother and Lee to New York in the summer of 1952.
Mr. Pic.
Well, Robert had joined the service in April 1952. It was the summer months, so Lee was not in school, and the trip to New York was feasible, being Lee would have no schooltime lost, it was my impression and also my wife's--meanwhile, I was married, you know, if you are interested in this.
Mr. Jenner.
Yes; I am.
Mr. Pic.
August 18, 1951, I married my wife Margaret Dorothy Fuhrman.
