United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JENNER. I interrupted you. Go ahead with your account.
Mr. PIC. Well, up until we left Bethlehem, I can only recall three
places of employment for Mrs. Oswald, one being Oswald's notion store
which was 1941-42, thereabouts.
Mr. JENNER. While you had the Bethlehem house?
Mr. PIC. No; that was before Bethlehem.
Mr. JENNER. I don't mean Bethlehem, Bartholomew Street?
Mr. PIC. Yes; after we were placed in Bethlehem she was a manager of
Princess Hosiery on Canal Street and Pittsburgh Plate and Glass Co., I
don't remember which one came first.
Mr. JENNER. Myrtle Evans referred to Pittsburgh Plate and Lillian
Murret referred to Pittsburgh Plate. You do recall that?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir; in fact, I think at the time she worked at
Pittsburgh Plate she was going with Mr. Ekdahl. In fact, I think I
remember him driving us over there or something once.
Mr. JENNER. When you were at Bethlehem, did your Aunt Lillian ever have
occasion to visit?
Mr. PIC. She never visited us that I recall. We visited her many times.
Mr. JENNER. While you were at Bethlehem?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Do you recall Myrtle Evans visiting on any occasion?
Mr. PIC. I don't remember. Wait a minute. Myrtle Evans, is she kind of
heavy?
Mr. JENNER. She is now.
Mr. PIC. She was then too, that is the same one.
Mr. JENNER. Energetic?
Mr. PIC. Yes; I remember a Myrtle.
Mr. JENNER. She had taken some accounting and----
Mr. PIC. The name is familiar, sir. I can't place the lady.
Mr. JENNER. She had been a girl friend of your mother's?
Mr. PIC. Yes; I wouldn't speculate whether she visited us or not at
Bethlehem, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Do you remember the Evanses coming over to see you when you
were at Covington, one time?
Mr. PIC. I don't recollect, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Do you recollect Myrtle Evans coming and visiting when you
first went to Texas?
Mr. PIC. Sir; I don't remember Myrtle Evans that much. The name Myrtle
is familiar to me. Just like this woman that worked at Holmes for 30
years is familiar to me. Where I had seen her and different places?
Mr. JENNER. H-o-l-m-e-s?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir; this is a department store in New Orleans.
Mr. JENNER. Of course you would recall the Murret family.
Mr. PIC. Yes; I recall them very good.
Mr. JENNER. There were a couple of those children about your age and
Robert's, is that right?
Mr. PIC. I can only--let's see, Charles, there is Marilyn and Charles.
Mr. JENNER. Marilyn is the youngest?
Mr. PIC. Marilyn is the youngest, no, sir; Boogie is the youngest.
Mr. JENNER. B-o-o-g-i-e?
Mr. PIC. What is he doing now. I heard he was playing semipro ball.
Mr. JENNER. No. He is not doing that any more. Is Boogie John?
Mr. PIC. No, sir; I think----
Mr. JENNER. One is a dentist, one is with Squibb, Gene is a seminarian.
Mr. PIC. Gene is the priest. Gene is the one who is my age or
thereabouts. Boogie was closer to Robert's age.
Mr. JENNER. She had five children?
Mr. PIC. Right.
Mr. JENNER. Marilyn.
Mr. PIC. Joyce.
