United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. PIC. Well, I remember it about 6 months. But I guess that is right.
I know he wasn't in there a full 13 months at a clip. He was in and out
of there in 13 months. At that school if your parents wanted to take
you home for a couple or 3 weeks they took you home for a couple or 3
weeks.
Mr. JENNER. And you do remember your mother did that?
Mr. PIC. Sure, I am sure he stayed at the Murrets also.
Mr. JENNER. Well, the Murrets recall that. Now, I show you an exhibit
which we will identify as John Pic Exhibit No. 4 which for purposes of
identification is a Xerox duplication of a letter from Mrs. Marguerite
Oswald to the Reverend Harold of the Evangelical Lutheran Orphanage
Asylum dated February 1, 1945, addressed 4801 Victor, Dallas, Tex.
It is in longhand. Would you please examine it for the purpose of
answering a question I will put to you as to whether it is in the
handwriting of your mother?
Mr. PIC. It appears to me, sir; to be her handwriting.
Mr. JENNER. I offer in evidence John Pic Exhibit No. 4.
(John Pic Exhibit No. 4 was marked for identification.)
Mr. JENNER. I have marked as John Pic Exhibit No. 5 another application
for admission to Evangelical Lutheran Bethlehem Orphan Asylum
Association dated December 23, 1942, for the admission of John Edward
Pic and Robert Oswald to that orphanage, but the information on the
application is confined to John Edward Pic.
Unfortunately, Mr. Pic, this application, for some reason by oversight
was not signed by your mother. Do you remember a pastor by the name of
Rev. J. H. Nau?
Mr. PIC. No, sir.
Mr. JENNER. At the Redeemer Lutheran Church?
Mr. PIC. No, sir.
Mr. JENNER. By the way, Mr. Reporter, for purposes of the record, there
appears on this application the fact that the marriage of Sergeant
Pic's mother Marguerite and his father Edward John Pic, Jr. was at
Gulfport, La.
Mr. PIC. Mississippi.
Mr. JENNER. No, it says Gulfport, La. here and should have been
Gulfport, Miss.?
Mr. PIC. Yes; Mississippi.
Mr. JENNER. Do you remember a pastor by the name of Reverend Scherer?
Mr. PIC. No, sir.
Mr. JENNER. The Trinity Evangelical Church.
Mr. PIC. No, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Do you remember a Rev. M. R. Lecron?
Mr. PIC. No, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Of the Redeemer Church?
Mr. PIC. No, sir.
Mr. JENNER. By the way, all you boys were christened in the Lutheran
church, faith, were you not?
Mr. PIC. I don't know or remember if Lee was. I don't know about Lee.
Mr. JENNER. The record of the Bethlehem Children's Home show that he
was baptized by the Rev. M. R. Lecron of the Redeemer Lutheran Church.
The exact date, however, is not given.
Mr. PIC. They even have his birthday wrong there.
Mr. JENNER. 1 day. They have it as the 19th whereas it was 18th. As a
matter of fact, your mother on one of her papers fixes it on the 19th.
Mr. PIC. So does one of the letters.
Mr. JENNER. I offer John Pic Exhibit No. 5 in evidence.
(John Pic Exhibit No. 5 was marked for identification.)
