Mr. Jenner. How long were you home on leave?
Mr. Pic. I think I took 20 days' leave. I think I stayed there 15, 16, something like that, about 2 weeks.
Mr. Jenner. What was the general atmosphere around the house at that time?
Mr. Pic. Well, everybody was glad to see me. I was—well, I come home with a couple of hundred dollars, you know a sailor off the high seas always saves his money and the mother right away wanted to hold it for me and so she conned me into that, and she let me have a few dollars of my own.
Then I spent most of my time looking up old girl friends and things, and visiting Mr. Conway. He and I were always playing chess together.
Mr. Jenner. Mr. Conway, I took his deposition.
Mr. Pic. Yes, very nice man.
Mr. Jenner. He spoke of playing chess with you a great deal.
Mr. Pic. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. I had forgotten that. Lived across the street.
