And he is a stepbrother?

Mr. Oswald.

Pardon me. He is a half brother.

Mr. Mckenzie.

He is a half brother, Mr. Jenner.

Mr. Jenner.

I am sorry to say that meant the same thing to me. But I am probably in error. A half brother.

Mr. Oswald.

1 am sorry. I didn't hear the next question.

Mr. Jenner.

That is all right. You correct me when I am wrong. Don't hesitate to do that. Your half brother's father was whom?

Mr. Oswald.

This I do not know. I don't know his full name.

Mr. Jenner.

Was it John, to the best of your recollection?

Mr. Oswald.

I would be of the opinion it was John.

Mr. Jenner.

Have you ever met him?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; I have not.

Mr. Jenner.

You never had any acquaintance with him?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir. I might further say 1 don't believe I have ever seen a picture identified as being John's father.

Mr. Dulles.

You are speaking of the father now?

Mr. Jenner.

That is correct, sir.
And your half brother, John Pic, is older than you, is he not?

Mr. Oswald.

That is correct.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you happen to recall his age?
