Mr. Pic. No, sir; I wasn't.

Mr. Jenner. But you were aware of the fact that your father was making contributions?

Mr. Pic. I was always told it wasn't enough, sir.

Mr. Jenner. Apart from that you were aware of the fact your father was making contributions?

Mr. Pic. Right. She reminded me the day I became 18 that the payments stopped right then and there.

Mr. Jenner. The fact is that they did.

Mr. Pic. I know. I have no reason to doubt that. What was the amount?

(Discussion off the record.)

Mr. Jenner. When you were in the service did you make any allotment to your mother?

Mr. Pic. No, sir.
