Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. PIC. If there was anything between Bartholomew and Sherwood Forest
Drive, I don't remember, sir. I do remember the Sherwood Forest Drive
house, and if I remember right it was three or four doors down from the
Murrets.
Mr. JENNER. Where would that be in your recollection with respect to
Bartholomew?
Mr. PIC. Oh, that is way across town, sir. That is in the city park
area. In fact, it was only a block from city park.
Mr. JENNER. And Lee was then--your mother had him with her because at
this time, December 1942, he was just a little over 3 years old.
Mr. PIC. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. The records show that the 1010 Bartholomew home was sold
on the 16th of January 1942. Does that refresh your recollection as to
sequence that prior to her sale of the house she moved out of the house
and over to Sherwood Drive and the placing of you boys in the Bethlehem
orphanage school was all part of the picture? She sold the Bartholomew
house, entered you boys in the orphanage in January 1942.
Mr. PIC. You want to know if I think she sold the house before we were
placed in the home?
Mr. JENNER. Yes.
Mr. PIC. I don't know, sir.
Mr. JENNER. But after you were in the home, that is the Bethlehem
Orphanage Home that house was disposed of in some fashion at least?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. And she moved into another house on Sherwood Drive?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. By the way, do you remember anybody, an uncle of yours by
the name of John Oswald?
Mr. PIC. No, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Or----
Mr. PIC. I remember an uncle on my stepfather's side. I don't recall
his name, sir.
Mr. JENNER. W. S. Oswald, is that familiar to you?
Mr. PIC. No, sir.
Mr. JENNER. But other than an uncle on your stepfather's side, that is
you don't recall his name, his first name?
Mr. PIC. No, sir.
Mr. JENNER. His name was Oswald, though?
Mr. PIC. I know it was on his side, sir. It may have been his sister, I
don't know. Maybe his brother-in-law.
Mr. JENNER. But you don't know.
I will identify as John Pic Exhibit No. 3 another application blank,
this one dated January 3, 1942, for admission of Robert Edward Oswald,
Jr., to the Evangelical Lutheran Bethlehem Orphan Asylum, which is
dated January 3, 1942, and direct you, Sergeant to the signature
appearing on that exhibit reading "Mrs. Lee Oswald." Are you familiar
with that signature?
Mr. PIC. That is the first time I have ever seen her use the word "Lee."
Mr. JENNER. But the handwriting; that is her handwriting?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. I offer in evidence a document now identified as John Pic
Exhibit No. 3.
(John Pic Exhibit No. 3 was marked for identification.)
Mr. JENNER. Now, directing your attention to that exhibit which shows
the entry of your brother Robert in the orphanage asylum on January 3,
1942, is it a fact that you and your brother Robert entered the asylum
at the same time?
Mr. PIC. To the best of my recollection, yes, sir.
