Mr. Jenner. About a year and a half?
Mr. Pic. Yes.
Mr. Jenner. Was a decree entered?
Mr. Pic. Oh, yes.
Mr. Jenner. Under which you paid alimony to your former wife and child support to your son?
Mr. Pic. Well, it was not a court decree as far as the alimony was concerned. That was an arrangement made between her, myself and the attorney, that they keep that out of the divorce decree, about alimony. That was a mutual understanding. I agreed that I would give her as much as I could out of the salary I would make.
Mr. Jenner. How long did you make payments in the form of alimony to her?
Mr. Pic. From the time of the separation up to 1950, I paid it. I sent monthly checks.
Mr. Jenner. In the same amount?
Mr. Pic. The same amount; yes, sir.
