Mr. Pic. Robert had been seeing this girl and she had a club foot. My mother didn't feel that they should be married. He wanted to marry her, and she conned him out of it.
Mr. Jenner. All right. Had you received any letters from Robert on that subject at anytime?
Mr. Pic. No, sir.
Mr. Jenner. Between the time you were home in October of 1950 and the summer of 1952, had you seen your mother or either of your brothers?
Mr. Pic. No, sir.
Mr. Jenner. All right. Now, my question to you was what led up to and what were the circumstances involving or surrounding the visit of your mother and Lee to New York in the summer of 1952.
Mr. Pic. Well, Robert had joined the service in April 1952. It was the summer months, so Lee was not in school, and the trip to New York was feasible, being Lee would have no schooltime lost, it was my impression and also my wife's—meanwhile, I was married, you know, if you are interested in this.
Mr. Jenner. Yes; I am.
Mr. Pic. August 18, 1951, I married my wife Margaret Dorothy Fuhrman.
Mr. Jenner. You had met her after you had entered the service and while you were stationed in the New York area?
