Mr. Jenner. You aren't trying to place the blame anywhere now, are you?

Mr. Pic. No.

Mr. Jenner. Now, you have lived here in New Orleans all the intervening years; haven't you?

Mr. Pic. Yes; that's right.

Mr. Jenner. Was there a child born of your marriage to Marguerite, Mr. Pic?

Mr. Pic. Yes.

Mr. Jenner. And that's John Edward Pic, is that correct?

Mr. Pic. Correct, sir.

Mr. Jenner. Why did you give him that name, so he wouldn't be another "Jr.," or II or III?

Mr. Pic. I had nothing to do with that, sir. She named him.
