Mrs. Oswald. This was before we were married. I had once asked Lee whether he had a mother, and he said he had no mother. I started to question him as to what had happened, what happened to her, and he said that I should not question him about it.
After we were married, he told me that he had not told me the truth, that he did have a mother, but that he didn't love her very much.
Mr. Rankin. Did he tell you why he didn't love her?
Mrs. Oswald. No.
Mr. Rankin. Do you recall anything more he said about his brother Robert at that time?
Mrs. Oswald. He said that he had a good wife, that he had succeeded fairly well in life, that he was smart and capable.
Mr. Rankin. Did he say anything about having any affection for him?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, he loved Robert. He said that when Robert married Vada that his mother had been against the marriage and that she had made a scene, and this was one of the reasons he didn't like his mother.
Mr. Rankin. Did he say anything about his half brother, by the name of Pic—I guess the last name was Pic—Robert Pic?
Mrs. Oswald. He said that he had a half brother by the name of Pic from his mother's first marriage, but he didn't enlarge upon the subject. It is only that I knew he had a half brother by that name.
