Mr. Pic.
could talk in her own native tongue, and that their boy, who was attending, I believe, the University of Oklahoma.
Mr. Jenner.
Paul Gregory?
Mr. Pic.
Sir, I don't remember his name at all, because I was mad at the time I was introduced to him.
Mr. Jenner.
Introduced to whom?
Mr. Pic.
This gentleman who picked him up.
Mr. Jenner.
Was he a young man?
Mr. Pic.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
All right, tell us the circumstances. tell us what led up to this incident, and tell us all about the incident.
Mr. Pic.
Well, they made the phone call, and Lee said that they would be picked up by their friends, and I think sometime between 6 and 7 that night he came by. Now, my brother Robert, whenever he introduces me to anyone always refers to me as his brother Lee referred to me as his half brother when he introduced me.
Mr. Jenner.
On this occasion?
Mr. Pic.
It was very pronounced. He wanted to let the man know I was only his half brother. And this kind of peeved me a little bit. Because we never mentioned the fact that we were half brothers.
Mr. Jenner.
You never had that feeling?
Mr. Pic.
No, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Was this the first time that your brother had ever introduced you to anyone as his haft brother? I am talking about your brother Lee now.
Mr. Pic.
I think possibly, sir, this is the first time he ever introduced me to anyone.
Mr. Jenner.
Was this the first time he had ever referred to you as your half brother?
Mr. Pic.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
His half brother?
Mr. Pic.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Is that so?
Mr. Pic.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
And that irritated you on this occasion?
Mr. Pic.
Yes, sir. Right then and there I had the feeling that the hostile feeling was still there. Up until this time it didn't show itself, but I felt then, well, he still felt the same way.
Mr. Jenner.
This young man from the University of Oklahoma, whose name, by the way, was Gregory
Mr. Pic.
He was at the University of Oklahoma.
Mr. Jenner.
Yes.
Mr. Pic.
I have said this three or four times, I wasn't certain, but I am sure he was and I was introduced to him as Lee's half brother, and the man was studying Russian at the school. His parents were from Russia.
Mr. Jenner.
He came alone, did he?
Mr. Pic.
The car was parked out front, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Well, he was alone when he came in?
Mr. Pic.
He was in the house alone.
Mr. Jenner.
Was it night?
Mr. Pic.
Yes; it was dark between 6 and 7 in November.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you go out to the car?
Mr. Pic.
No; I didn't. We stayed in the house.
Mr. Jenner.
Did Robert go out to the car?
Mr. Pic.
I don't remember, sir. I don't think so.
Mr. Jenner.
Did Marina appear to be acquainted with this young man?
Mr. Pic.
Yes; as soon as he walked in she started talking Russian to him.
Mr. Jenner.
Did he respond in Russian?
Mr. Pic.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Lee spoke to him in Russian?
Mr. Pic.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Except when he was introducing you to him he introduced you in English as his half brother?
