Mr. Pic. I knew they were married, I don't recall the marriage ceremony.
Mr. Jenner. What do you recall about him, sergeant?
Mr. Pic. I recall he was an insurance salesman, sir, for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. He used to take me on his rounds for collections sometimes. He was very strict with us. We got whippings when we were bad.
Mr. Jenner. You don't mean to claim that any of them was undeserved?
Mr. Pic. No, sir. Not in the least.
Mr. Jenner. I should say this to you, I think. The witnesses all, everybody spoke well of your stepfather.
Mr. Pic. That is how I remember him, sir.
Mr. Jenner. You were born in New Orleans?
Mr. Pic. I was?
Mr. Jenner. I am really putting a question mark at the end.
