Mr. Jenner.

The witness has now handed me two pictures, Pic Exhibits Nos. 54 and 55 one of which shows a young boy with a black-and-white dog, and the other shows--with a house in the background. The Other shows a house in the background and a black-and-white dog in front and an automobile. Could you decipher, referring to the exhibit numbers, the handwriting appearing at the top of each of those? You are looking at Exhibit what now?

Mr. Pic.

Exhibit No. 55, sir, shows Lee's dog and the family car- This car belonged to us, that is why I brought it. The house in the background was the one and only grocery store, groceteria, whatever you want to call it, and laundromat in the area. This is where we did all of our food buying.

Mr. Jenner.

Shopping?

Mr. Pic.

As far as the neighborhood was concerned.

Mr. Jenner.

There is some writing at the top of the picture, what does it say?

Mr. Pic.

This says "Blackie, 1949."

Mr. Jenner.

Blackie was the name of the dog?

Mr. Pic.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Take that other exhibit and tell us what it was.

Mr. Pic.

This was the same dog Lee had in 1948 when we returned from the school. Exhibit No. 54 shows the same store in the background and Lee Harvey Oswald, and a dog named Blackie. And to the right of the picture is the roof and corner of the house.

Mr. Jenner.

The house in which you lived?

Mr. Pic.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

I offer in evidence John Pic Exhibits Nos. 54 and 55.
(John Pic Exhibits Nos. 54 and 55 were marked for identification.)

Mr. Pic.

After the divorce she bought the house in Benbrook, Tex., and then she was either working at or just got the job at Leonard Bros., Fort Worth, department store, Fort Worth, Tex.
At this time Robert and I were informed that we would not return to Chamberlain-Hunt in the fall. This, I think, was the first time that I actually
recall any hostility towards my mother.

Mr. Jenner.

On your part?

Mr. Pic.

Yes, sir; this was quite a blow to me because we did want to go back. I had 2 more years in high school and I was going to be in the 11th grade and I did want to finish there.

Mr. Jenner.

How did Robert react to that?

Mr. Pic.

He felt the same way, sir. He wanted to go back. But we were informed because of the monetary situation it would be impossible for us to go back. In fact, my mother informed me that the best thing for me to do was not return to school but to get a job and help the family supplement its income.

Mr. Jenner.

That is withdraw from school entirely?

Mr. Pic.

Yes, sir; I was 16 at this time. In September, Lee and Robert returned to school, and I went to work. I obtained a job at Everybody's Department Store which belonged to Leonard Bros. I was a shoe stock boy at the salary of $25 a week.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you pay some of that money to your mother?

Mr. Pic.

I think at least $15 out of every pay check I did.

Mr. Jenner.

$15 a week?

Mr. Pic.

Yes, sir; I think my take-home pay was $22.50 after taxes. Which left me $7.50 to ride back and forth on the bus with.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you continue to live in this home in Benbrook?

Mr. Pic.

No, sir; about the same time that I went to work and Lee and Robert returned to school is when my mother bought the house at 7408 Ewing.

Mr. Jenner.

In Fort Worth?

Mr. Pic.

That is right, sir. It was just impossible for her and I to go to work and leave them out in the sticks, but being we moved an Ewing they could walk to school. In fact, I left for work earlier than she did, a couple of hours, in fact.

Mr. Jenner.

Had Lee attended school in Benbrook, Tex.?

Mr. Pic.

No, sir; not in the little house because we moved in the summer and moved out in the early fall.
