With that information, does that serve to refresh your recollection that the course of circumstances might have been these. I will state them and then you correct me. I don't want you to take my word for it but this is solely for the purpose of refreshing your recollection, if it does refresh your recollection.
Your stepfather died in August of 1939. In the winter of 1940, early, sometime in January 1940, your mother took you and your brother, Robert, out of school, you were in the William Frantz Elementary School at that time, and placed you in the Catholic school.
Mr. Pic. I think prior or right after this Catholic school there was another school which was in downtown New Orleans. It was a day school. She would bring us there in the morning and take us home at night. I don't remember too much. We didn't stay there very long.
Mr. Jenner. It is your definite recollection, however, that you were at the Catholic orphanage school in the winter of 1940, which would be approximately 5 months after the death of your stepfather.
Mr. Pic. No, sir; I don't make that statement. I make the statement that it is my definite recollection I was in the Infant Jesus College School while we lived in this house on Alvez. What months these were, sir, I don't know.
Mr. Jenner. And it is the best of your recollection at the present time that that was the school period ending in the summer of 1940?
Mr. Pic. I think so, sir.
Mr. Jenner. What is your recollection as to the school you attended commencing the school year September 1940? Did you return to William Frantz?
Mr. Pic. I went to George Washington—if I was there at William Frantz, I don't remember. Well, the dates you give me it would be——
Mr. Jenner. A short time?
