Mr. Pic. As my wife and I walked in, Lee walked out and my mother informed us that he would probably go to the Bronx Zoo. We had Sunday dinner, and in the course of the conversation my mother informed me that Lee was having a truancy problem and that the school officials had suggested that he might need psychiatric aid to combat his truancy problem.
She informed me that Lee said that he would not see a head shrinker or nut doctor, and she wanted any suggestions or opinions from me as to how to get him to see him, and I told her just take him down there. That is all I could suggest.
Mr. Jenner. What was her response to that?
Mr. Pic. Well, Lee was still the boss. If he didn't want to go see the psychiatrist, he wasn't going.
Mr. Jenner. She had no control over him?
Mr. Pic. No, sir.
Mr. Jenner. And you were quite aware of that, were you?
Mr. Pic. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. Did you discuss that with her?
Mr. Pic. No, sir; she discussed it with me. I mean she told me that she couldn't control him and so forth. This I knew.
