Mr. Jenner. "Until you were"——
Mr. Pic. Kept waiting and robbing Peter to pay Paul until you were finished with your boot training as your letters indicated you would send a hundred fifty dollars and about fifty dollars a month."
Mr. Jenner. Had you so indicated?
Mr. Pic. I don't believe so, sir. I don't see how, I wasn't making but $80 per month.
Mr. Jenner. What truth was there in her statement that it was you who insisted that she buy the car?
Mr. Pic. Well, that old jalopy I have a picture of was falling apart and before I went in the service she had a ride home from work and the generator wouldn't generate, and the battery wouldn't battery and it just kept cutting out, so we needed a new car.
Mr. Jenner. Was that particular car about which you have just described—about which you were having trouble—was that the family car or a car owned by you?
Mr. Pic. A family car, I never owned a car, sir, when I lived at home.
Mr. Jenner. I take it you had urged her to buy a new car to replace that one?
Mr. Pic. We all wanted a new car, sir, because the other one wouldn't run. She had to get it pushed every morning to get to work. She would have us out in the street waving down people to help her get the car pushed.
