Mr. Jenner. Was that likewise the feeling of your brother Robert?
Mr. Pic. Yes, I am sure it was.
Mr. Jenner. What was your impression as to whether your mother was always sincere and straightforward with respect to that subject matter?
Mr. Pic. My opinion, sir; at the time was all she cared about was getting hold of and making some money in some form or another. This is her god, so to speak, was to get money. And to get as much out of me as she could and as much out of Robert as she could.
Mr. Jenner. And as much out of anybody else as she could?
Mr. Pic. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. Was there any—you talk about the difficulties with Mr. Ekdahl. Do you recall any discussions between them with respect to any dissatisfaction on your mother's part with funds that were given her by Mr. Ekdahl?
Mr. Pic. Yes, sir; she always wanted more money out of him. That was the basis of all the arguments.
Mr. Jenner. And was she complaining to him that he didn't give her enough money?
Mr. Pic. Yes, sir.
