United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. PIC. No, sir; I don't know nothing about 101 San Saba.
Mr. JENNER. Do you recall the street you were on in Benbrook; this
first house?
Mr. PIC. There were no streets. We used a post office box number up at
the post office there. Because I was sending away for stamps at the
time from different companies, and I was collecting stamps and I would
go pick up the mail at the post office.
Mr. JENNER. The first house in Benbrook was on Granbury Road, that
is your recollection? That is the one you have already mentioned
heretofore?
Mr. PIC. Granbury Road is familiar, sir, if that is the one that is way
far south of town on Granbury Road, then that is it.
Mr. JENNER. Well, there is a letter in the file at the Hunt Military
Academy in October of 1945 informing them that a new address would be
Granbury Road, Route 5, Box 567 in Benbrook.
Mr. PIC. That is the one further south of Fort Worth.
Mr. JENNER. That is the first one?
Mr. PIC. Right.
Mr. JENNER. The house you are now mentioning in Benbrook was the summer
of 1948 is different from the first one?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir; it is.
Mr. JENNER. You can't remember the street address?
Mr. PIC. There was no street address. This was the first and only house
built there.
Mr. JENNER. I see.
Mr. PIC. They just built up this area and she got the very first house.
Two pictures there, Lee and Lee's dog and this is taken at the house in
Benbrook, that house.
Mr. JENNER. Would you select those, please?
Mr. PIC. These were taken in Covington.
Mr. JENNER. Excuse me, the witness has referred to two pictures marked
John Pic Exhibits Nos. 50 and 51. Those were taken when?
Mr. PIC. It would be the summer of 1946 at Covington, La.
Mr. JENNER. And those pictures are pictures of whom?
Mr. PIC. Lee Harvey Oswald.
Mr. JENNER. All right.
Mr. PIC. Holding a fish.
Mr. JENNER. I offer in evidence John Pic Exhibits Nos. 50 and 51.
(John Pic Exhibits Nos. 50 and 51 were marked for identification.)
Mr. JENNER. The witness has now handed me two pictures, Pic Exhibits
Nos. 54 and 55 one of which shows a young boy with a black-and-white
dog, and the other shows with a house in the background. The other
shows a house in the background and a black-and-white dog in front and
an automobile. Could you decipher, referring to the exhibit numbers,
the handwriting appearing at the top of each of those? You are looking
at Exhibit what now?
Mr. PIC. Exhibit No. 55, sir, shows Lee's dog and the family car.
This car belonged to us, that is why I brought it. The house in the
background was the one and only grocery store, groceteria, whatever you
want to call it, and laundromat in the area. This is where we did all
of our food buying.
Mr. JENNER. Shopping?
Mr. PIC. As far as the neighborhood was concerned.
Mr. JENNER. There is some writing at the top of the picture; what does
it say?
Mr. PIC. This says "Blackie, 1949."
Mr. JENNER. Blackie was the name of the dog?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir.
