Mr. Jenner. And your boy John didn't communicate with you at that time?
Mr. Pic. Never has; no, sir. I never got any word from John. I guess he forgot about me. He was too young to realize, and maybe his mother never did tell him about his old man.
Mr. Jenner. Well, to be completely charitable about it, you don't even know if he knows you are alive, do you?
Mr. Pic. That's right.
Mr. Jenner. You never can tell about those things?
Mr. Pic. No; you never know.
Mr. Jenner. Well, Mr. Pic, I appreciate your coming in today. I know it has been some inconvenience to you. I have no further questions.
Mr. Pic. Well, like I say, I never did know about her marriage to Mr. Oswald, other than I had known that she remarried, and his name was mentioned to me.
Mr. Jenner. I understand that. Now, Mr. Pic, you have the right, if you wish, to come in and read your deposition and sign it, or you may waive that and this gentleman, the court reporter, will transcribe the deposition and it will be sent by the U.S. attorney to Washington. Now what do you prefer to do? Do you want to read and sign it, or do you want to waive that?
Mr. Pic. Oh, I will waive it. I mean, the information I have is all I can give you. My wife and I have known that we faced this ever since the assassination, that it would come some day, but we just didn't want a lot of publicity or anything, you know.
