Mr. Pic. There was nothing to observe while I was present, sir. He was completely withdrawn from the crowd.
Mr. Jenner. He withdrew from everybody?
Mr. Pic. That is correct, sir.
Mr. Jenner. All right.
Mr. Pic. Personally, I didn't know if he was more hostile towards me or my wife. I still don't know this fact. Maybe it was her, maybe it was me, maybe it was both of us.
In January 1953, I did reenlist in the Coast Guard. I decided to stay in rather than quit, and so forth.
Mr. Jenner. From the time of that October visit of Robert to January 1953, did you see Lee at any time during that period?
Mr. Pic. No, sir; I did not. I seen my mother on several occasions. She was working on 42d Street in a Lerner's Dress Shop. I guess I would see her maybe once every 3 weeks to once a month, we dropped downtown, my wife and I, to see her.
Mr. Jenner. What did she say about Lee during that time when you saw her on those occasions?
Mr. Pic. Whenever I seen her, whether I was alone or with my wife, I was usually alone, I went to see her myself, my wife didn't care to see my mother, she would complain about her financial status and when I would ask her about how Lee was doing she would say, "OK" but would not elaborate.
