Warren Commission (11 of 26): Hearings Vol. XI (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
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.
Mr. JENNER. You had met her after you had entered the service and while
you were stationed in the New York area?
Mr. PIC. That is correct, sir.
Mr. JENNER. At this time, that is the summer of 1952 you were living
where?
Mr. PIC. 325 East 92d Street, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Did you have any children at that time?
Mr. PIC. In August 1952; yes, sir. I did.
Mr. JENNER. Your first child was born?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir; John Edward Pic, Jr.
Mr. JENNER. Was the child born before or after your mother and Lee
arrived.
Mr. PIC. Before, sir.
Mr. JENNER. All right.
