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
Mr. PIC. I think the very first one I got concerned the welfare of his
family. They were out at the farm. That his company treated him very
good about all the time lost. That Marina asked about us and how we
were getting along. In my return letter to him I told him nobody had
bothered us and we were getting along just fine. He informed me that he
was--I suggested if they could, to come down and stay with us awhile.
We had just purchased a new house, we had the room, and he wrote back
and told me that because he had missed all the time because of the
incidents he was unable to get any more time from his company without
losing his job.
Mr. JENNER. Have you seen Marina in the meantime?
Mr. PIC. No, sir.
Mr. JENNER. The last time you saw her, I take it, then, was
Thanksgiving Day 1962?
Mr. PIC. That is correct, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Has there been any correspondence between you?
Mr. PIC. No, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Has there been any correspondence that was indirect in any
fashion?
Mr. PIC. My last letter I received from Robert was right after he
appeared here. He mentioned that Marina often asked about my wife
and I. Other than this, there has been no mention. He has mentioned
about the grave being desecrated, and some information concerning the
gravesite of Lee.
Mr. JENNER. Before I return to some specifics, is there anything else
that has occurred to you in your reflection on this matter that you
would like to mention?
Mr. PIC. The actual assassination, that time period or what, sir?
Mr. JENNER. Well, anything you think that might be relevant to the
Commission's investigation as to the circumstances surrounding the
assassination of President Kennedy, any persons involved therein, the
subsequent death of your brother.
Mr. PIC. Most of the information that I have seen and heard has been
all new to me, like his escapades in New Orleans, passing out the
leaflets and his radio program.
Mr. JENNER. Those incidents, by the way, were unknown to you until
after the assassination, I take it?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir; I assure you if I had known he was doing his
escapades again I would have went to the proper authorities about it.
Mr. JENNER. I show you an exhibit, a series of exhibits, first
Commission Exhibit No. 281 and Exhibit No. 282 being some spread pages
of an issue of Life magazine of February 21, 1964. I direct your
attention first to the lower left-hand spread at the bottom of the
page. Do you recognize the area shown there?
Mr. PIC. No, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Do you see somebody in that picture that appears to be your
brother?
Mr. PIC. This one here with the arrow.
Mr. JENNER. The one that has the printed arrow?
Mr. PIC. That is correct, sir.
Mr. JENNER. And you recognize that as your brother?
Mr. PIC. Because they say so, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Please, I don't want you to say----
Mr. PIC. No; I couldn't recognize that.
Mr. JENNER. Because this magazine says that it is.
Mr. PIC. No, sir; I couldn't recognize him from that picture.
