Mr. Jenner.

How? Did she communicate with you?

Mr. Pic.

Well, up to the time she moved out of the city, I think I knew where she lived, but I am trying to think where the next place she moved to when she moved out of town. I think it was Fort Worth, Tex., or Brownsville; I just don't remember.

Mr. Jenner.

Well, let me give you some addresses and let's see if they refresh your recollection.

Mr. Pic.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

From 1939 to 1941 on Alvar Street in New Orleans?

Mr. Pic.

Alvar; yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you remember when she lived on Alvar?

Mr. Pic.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Then she lived for a while, about a year, at 1010 Bartholomew in New Orleans; do you remember that?

Mr. Pic.

Yes, sir; since you mention it.

Mr. Jenner.

Then in 1942 at 2136 Broadway, New Orleans;do you remember that?

Mr. Pic.

That's possibly right, but it don't ring a bell.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you remember her being over in Algiers, 227 Atlantic Avenue?

Mr. Pic.

No, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Then about 1945 in Dallas, Tex., 4801 Victor?

Mr. Pic.

I don't remember Dallas.

Mr. Jenner.

You don't remember Dallas?

Mr. Pic.

No; she could have, but I don't remember it.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you remember Benbrook, Tex., in 1946?

Mr. Pic.

No, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Covington, La., in 1946, in the summer of that year?

Mr. Pic.

Covington, no; I don't remember sending checks there.

Mr. Jenner.

All right. Fort Worth, Tex, 1947?

Mr. Pic.

I do remember her being there; yes.

Mr. Jenner.

1505 Eighth Avenue?

Mr. Pic.

Well, the address I don't know, but I know she lived in Fort Worth about then.

Mr. Jenner.

You do remember Fort Worth?

Mr. Pic.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you definitely remember sending her $40 a month when she was in Fort Worth?

Mr. Pic.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

And it was while she was in Fort Worth that the payments were finally stopped, is that right?

Mr. Pic.

Correct, sir; in 1950.

Mr. Jenner.

In 1950?

Mr. Pic.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

How did you transmit these checks to her, since she moved around quite a bit, as we know?

Mr. Pic.

Well, I would get a cashier's check from the Whitney National Bank in New Orleans and sometimes the City Bank Branch, which our company had an account in, and I could get it through without a lot of red tape that way since I worked for the company and all. Now, those addresses that you read off to me, she probably kept me posted where she would be from time to time you know, let me know where to send the check.
Now, in 1950 I was of course still sending support to my son, and through withholding I was able to claim him as a dependent, but I knew he was getting up in age, 17, 18 years, and I made inquiry whether he was still going to school, or was working, because the Treasury Department called me in and said I made a claim for my son when he had filed a tax return himself and in fact claiming his mother as a dependent, so I got in trouble with the Treasury Department over that, because I didn't know he was working.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you learn in 1950 eventually that your boy was in the Coast Guard?

Mr. Pic.

Finally I did; yes. She sent me a picture of John, and to me it looked like he was in the Navy, but I guess it was the Coast Guard. So anyway
