Mr. JENNER. How did that come into your possession?
Mr. PIC. It was just laying in the box with all this other stuff, sir.
Mr. JENNER. I offer those exhibits now commencing with Exhibit No. 31-A
to and including Exhibits Nos. 47-B, plus 59, in evidence.
(The documents referred to were marked John Pic Exhibits Nos. 31-A to
47-B, inclusive, and Exhibit No. 59 for identification and received in
evidence.)
Mr. JENNER. Mr. Pic, we have made copies of all those exhibits and we
appreciate your bringing the originals, and you may take the originals
back with you to San Antonio. Those exhibits consisting of the
photographs of your brother which you brought, we will have duplicated
and returned to you in due course.
Mr. PIC. All right.
Mr. JENNER. Direct your attention, if you will, to Exhibit No. 9-A, an
envelope and its contents, Exhibit No. 9, this being a letter from Fort
Worth, June 9, 1950, to you at Brooklyn, N.Y.
There is an inside page reading, "Mother called in on and told some of
my problems." Do you find that?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Uncle Dutz wired $75. That is your uncle Charles Murret?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. And then it reads, "And Lee was invited to spend a couple
of weeks, so I sent him on the train by himself. To what is your mother
referring in connection with her problems and the wiring of the $75 by
your uncle?
Mr. PIC. It appears to me, sir, that at this time period she was
between jobs. Further down she states she is starting on a new job
Monday.
Mr. JENNER. Does she refer to that job on the page that is numbered 3,
I believe, as McDonald Kitchens is the name?
Mr. PIC. She first refers to it on the one where it begins, "Mother
called in on".
Mr. JENNER. Now, the mother there mentioned is your mother, isn't it?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Then there is a page numbered 3?
Mr. PIC. That is right, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Which referred to McDonald's Kitchens as the name and what
they do is cook food for commercial use?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir.
