Mr. Pic. During Christmas vacation of 1945 Robert and I received money to go home for the Christmas holidays. We were to take the train from Vicksburg, Miss., to Shreveport, La. These were instructions and when we arrived at Shreveport, we were to wait for Mr. Ekdahl to pick us up. We arrived and he wasn't there. So I think we waited around, I have an estimate of between 1 and 2 hours, and then he showed up. He then drove us to Fort Worth, Benbrook, Tex., and we had a house about 15 miles below Fort Worth in Benbrook, it was way out. It wasn't the same Benbrook house, it was further. This was a brick house.

Mr. Jenner. The first house in Benbrook?

Mr. Pic. Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner. Had you known the family had moved to Benbrook, Tex.?

Mr. Pic. Yes, sir; because we was writing.

Mr. Jenner. Because of correspondence?

Mr. Pic. Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner. This was your first view of that house?

Mr. Pic. Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner. Tell us what it was; describe it to us?
