1
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:19,120
Good evening.

2
00:00:19,140 --> 00:00:21,740
I am organizing a key club.

3
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,220
It seems to be the thing to do.

4
00:00:24,540 --> 00:00:31,080
For the uninitiated, a key club is one
which members can enter only if they

5
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:32,019
possess a key.

6
00:00:32,020 --> 00:00:37,200
These clubs are terribly exclusive since
membership is limited to men.

7
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,080
My club is completely different.

8
00:00:40,300 --> 00:00:41,340
It is for women.

9
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:46,980
Inside the club is everything a woman
could want, including me.

10
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,540
You see, I am the club's only bunny.

11
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,820
This evening's story is not about key
clubs.

12
00:00:54,060 --> 00:01:00,900
It is about a man who finds himself in a
unique predicament and is called I Saw

13
00:01:00,900 --> 00:01:01,900
the Whole Thing.

14
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:08,180
If you wish to see the whole thing, I
suggest you watch this spot closely for

15
00:01:08,180 --> 00:01:09,860
the next 60 minutes.

16
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,080
Hiya, Penny.

17
00:01:36,340 --> 00:01:37,340
You waiting for somebody?

18
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:38,640
Not for you.

19
00:01:38,860 --> 00:01:41,380
I called you Japan Thursday, but the
warden said you were out.

20
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,380
Hey, I'm having a big bash at my place
next week.

21
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,320
Interested? Look, Freddy, can't you take
a hint?

22
00:01:47,620 --> 00:01:49,300
You know I'm going steady with George.

23
00:01:49,820 --> 00:01:50,820
Is that who you're waiting for?

24
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,260
Well, you kindly flake off.

25
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,020
Oh, he's the jealous type, huh? He'll go
stark staring ape if he finds you

26
00:01:57,020 --> 00:01:59,780
hanging around me again, so if you don't
mind... Okay, okay.

27
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:01,440
See you around.

28
00:02:51,340 --> 00:02:52,720
My name is Michael Barnes.

29
00:02:52,940 --> 00:02:54,020
I, uh... Speak up, please.

30
00:02:55,540 --> 00:03:00,200
My name is Michael Barnes. I, uh... I
had an auto accident yesterday.

31
00:03:00,420 --> 00:03:01,520
My car hit somebody.

32
00:03:01,820 --> 00:03:03,020
A man on a motorcycle.

33
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,120
Yes, we've been looking for you.

34
00:03:06,460 --> 00:03:09,180
I heard you broadcast the one where you
were asking for witnesses.

35
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:10,760
Just a minute.

36
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:13,740
Get me Lieutenant Sweet.

37
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,540
Your license number, PN-3271? Yes.

38
00:03:20,310 --> 00:03:22,890
Lieutenant Sweet, the driver of the
hit-and-run case is here.

39
00:03:23,790 --> 00:03:24,850
Yes, sir, he just walked in.

40
00:03:26,410 --> 00:03:27,410
Okay.

41
00:03:28,630 --> 00:03:30,470
You prepared to make a statement, Mr.
Barnes?

42
00:03:30,750 --> 00:03:31,750
That's what I'm here for.

43
00:03:36,990 --> 00:03:39,010
This is Lieutenant Sweet of the
automobile squad.

44
00:03:39,490 --> 00:03:41,390
This man's name is Michael Barnes,
Lieutenant.

45
00:03:41,750 --> 00:03:43,050
His license number checked out.

46
00:03:43,950 --> 00:03:46,510
I'm very sorry about all this.

47
00:03:46,870 --> 00:03:47,870
I'm sure you are.

48
00:03:49,580 --> 00:03:53,220
The broadcast didn't say too much about
the man's condition. Is he going to be

49
00:03:53,220 --> 00:03:53,879
all right?

50
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,540
He's got a pretty bad concussion and a
couple of broken ribs. But the doctor

51
00:03:57,540 --> 00:03:58,540
thinks he'll be all right.

52
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,320
Come with me, Mr. Barnes.

53
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:14,200
On Tuesday, May 17th, my car was heading
north through the town of Greensville.

54
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,320
There's a stop sign at the intersection
of Holland Avenue and Greensville Road.

55
00:04:19,269 --> 00:04:23,150
My car stopped at the stop sign, and
then when no traffic appeared in any

56
00:04:23,150 --> 00:04:25,350
other direction, proceeded to cross the
road.

57
00:04:25,930 --> 00:04:30,110
A motorcycle came out of nowhere and
headed in the direction of my car. It

58
00:04:30,110 --> 00:04:31,250
was going very fast.

59
00:04:31,670 --> 00:04:35,850
The driver of the motorcycle decided to
pass in front of my car, and he ran into

60
00:04:35,850 --> 00:04:38,890
it. He was thrown over the top and
landed on the road.

61
00:04:39,170 --> 00:04:41,150
My car stopped and then went on.

62
00:04:42,010 --> 00:04:43,250
That sound about right to you?

63
00:04:43,730 --> 00:04:45,590
Did I say it just like that?

64
00:04:48,190 --> 00:04:50,770
Not very good English, and I'm supposed
to be an author.

65
00:04:52,650 --> 00:04:55,290
We don't want fiction now, Mr. Bond.
It's just the truth.

66
00:04:57,390 --> 00:04:59,670
My car stopped and then went on.

67
00:05:01,710 --> 00:05:02,790
Like to add anything to that?

68
00:05:03,550 --> 00:05:06,890
That doesn't sound very good for me,
does it?

69
00:05:07,330 --> 00:05:09,110
You say this statement's going to be
read in court.

70
00:05:09,770 --> 00:05:11,310
If you prosecute it, it will be.

71
00:05:11,810 --> 00:05:13,950
You mean there's a chance that I won't
be prosecuted?

72
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,240
Well, that's not for me to say. The
district attorney is assembling the

73
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,240
evidence.

74
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,540
That's why they've asked for witnesses
to come forward.

75
00:05:20,980 --> 00:05:23,020
I can tell you right now there were
plenty of them.

76
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,260
What kind of an author are you, Mr.
Barnes?

77
00:05:29,700 --> 00:05:31,740
I write crime stories.

78
00:05:32,340 --> 00:05:34,560
Hmm. I never read them myself.

79
00:05:34,860 --> 00:05:36,120
The cops are always too dumb.

80
00:05:36,580 --> 00:05:38,120
Now, if you'll just sign this statement.

81
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,080
Say, will I have to be kept here very
long? My wife is in the hospital. I'd

82
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,840
like to get over there. Just sign the
statement, and then we'll let you go.

83
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:46,960
We'll be in touch with you later.

84
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:56,840
Cheer up, Mr. Barnes.

85
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,320
Women have had babies before.

86
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,780
I suppose I have been pretty jittery
about all this.

87
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,260
You know Stella's report card better
than I do.

88
00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:06,960
I mean, if you struck out twice
already... This isn't a ballgame. If she

89
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,660
got this far, I'm sure she'll be all
right.

90
00:06:09,390 --> 00:06:12,730
It mustn't go wrong this time. It just
mustn't. She wants this baby so badly.

91
00:06:12,810 --> 00:06:14,870
You know, you older fathers are always
the worst.

92
00:06:15,090 --> 00:06:16,090
Water?

93
00:06:16,230 --> 00:06:17,610
Especially if it's the first baby.

94
00:06:17,910 --> 00:06:20,970
It isn't easy for a woman who's not so
young, is it? I mean, Stella's 36.

95
00:06:22,870 --> 00:06:26,970
Do you have any children, Doctor? Three
incredibly hungry ones, shooting up like

96
00:06:26,970 --> 00:06:30,070
weeds. Kids get older fast, and so do
parents.

97
00:06:31,050 --> 00:06:34,870
Are you sure that she's going to be all
right? I mean, she's not as nervous as

98
00:06:34,870 --> 00:06:37,510
when I brought her in this morning. She
seemed a little worried, but that's only

99
00:06:37,510 --> 00:06:38,510
natural.

100
00:06:40,099 --> 00:06:42,300
Truth is, it's not just Stella that I'm
anxious about.

101
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,160
Something happened yesterday. I was in
an auto accident.

102
00:06:46,700 --> 00:06:49,500
Motorcycle ran into me. Man who was
riding it was hurt.

103
00:06:50,500 --> 00:06:52,980
Stella doesn't know about it yet. Was
the man badly hurt?

104
00:06:53,300 --> 00:06:54,300
He'll recover.

105
00:06:55,620 --> 00:06:57,980
Might be some upsetting things in the
newspaper.

106
00:06:58,260 --> 00:06:59,260
Might even be a trial.

107
00:06:59,540 --> 00:07:00,299
I see.

108
00:07:00,300 --> 00:07:02,880
Well, I suppose the sensible thing to do
is to keep the whole thing quiet.

109
00:07:03,260 --> 00:07:06,780
At least until your wife feels well. Oh,
could you do that? That would mean a

110
00:07:06,780 --> 00:07:07,900
great deal to me. Yes.

111
00:07:08,430 --> 00:07:11,490
I'll speak to the nurses and see that
she's kept out of touch with the world.

112
00:07:11,890 --> 00:07:14,590
You know, I never did prescribe
newspaper headlines for my patients.

113
00:07:14,970 --> 00:07:15,970
Thank you.

114
00:07:16,370 --> 00:07:17,370
Thank you very much.

115
00:07:30,410 --> 00:07:31,930
You got over here pretty quickly.

116
00:07:32,150 --> 00:07:34,670
The way you sounded on the phone, I
thought the house was burning down.

117
00:07:35,490 --> 00:07:36,550
I don't smell any smoke.

118
00:07:37,070 --> 00:07:39,670
I had to come over to your place, except
I didn't want to leave the house. It's

119
00:07:39,670 --> 00:07:42,150
Stella. She's in the hospital. Might be
a call.

120
00:07:42,370 --> 00:07:45,270
So soon? Mm-hmm. Thought the baby wasn't
due for a month. Rush order.

121
00:07:45,710 --> 00:07:48,630
Can I fix you a drink, Counselor? No
objections, Your Honor.

122
00:07:49,650 --> 00:07:50,650
Not to the rock.

123
00:07:52,210 --> 00:07:53,210
So that's it.

124
00:07:53,570 --> 00:07:54,570
Stella. What?

125
00:07:55,450 --> 00:07:57,470
I've just been weighing the bags under
your eyes.

126
00:07:57,710 --> 00:07:58,910
You look like a man with troubles.

127
00:07:59,890 --> 00:08:03,830
I spoke to Dr. Palmer, and he says that
everything's all right so far, but you

128
00:08:03,830 --> 00:08:06,710
know Stella. You know how nervous she
can get. She's... Already lost two

129
00:08:06,710 --> 00:08:08,730
babies. Mike, you didn't ask me over to
talk about Stella.

130
00:08:09,090 --> 00:08:10,090
What's the matter?

131
00:08:11,170 --> 00:08:12,390
Haven't you been reading the papers?

132
00:08:12,950 --> 00:08:13,970
Well, not the local ones.

133
00:08:14,470 --> 00:08:15,890
I got back from the coast this morning.

134
00:08:16,470 --> 00:08:18,530
It looks like I'm facing a criminal
action.

135
00:08:19,430 --> 00:08:20,430
You?

136
00:08:20,850 --> 00:08:23,330
What did you do? Ride yourself into one
of your own stories?

137
00:08:23,930 --> 00:08:27,990
Had an accident driving through town
last week. A motorcycle ran into my car.

138
00:08:28,310 --> 00:08:33,630
It wasn't my fault, but... Well, I... I
just didn't stop.

139
00:08:34,990 --> 00:08:37,909
You mean you... I didn't stop. I lost my
head.

140
00:08:38,309 --> 00:08:39,409
I drove on.

141
00:08:40,010 --> 00:08:41,690
There were plenty of people around to
help the guy.

142
00:08:42,669 --> 00:08:43,710
Maybe too many people.

143
00:08:44,110 --> 00:08:45,110
You mean witnesses?

144
00:08:45,190 --> 00:08:46,190
Mm-hmm.

145
00:08:47,070 --> 00:08:50,190
I turned myself in the next morning
after I drove Stella to the hospital.

146
00:08:50,450 --> 00:08:51,209
Hit and run.

147
00:08:51,210 --> 00:08:53,870
Well, that could be serious, even if
they were mitigating circumstances.

148
00:08:54,070 --> 00:08:58,070
Yes, but other things, too. Now, the
witnesses claim that I didn't stop at a

149
00:08:58,070 --> 00:09:00,390
stop sign, that I passed right through
it. Now, that's not true.

150
00:09:00,730 --> 00:09:02,010
But that's what they say.

151
00:09:02,510 --> 00:09:04,010
Any witnesses on your side? Yes.

152
00:09:04,330 --> 00:09:05,330
Who?

153
00:09:05,870 --> 00:09:06,870
Me.

154
00:09:08,710 --> 00:09:14,410
Jerry, what's the sentence for that kind
of a crime?

155
00:09:15,850 --> 00:09:17,250
You're talking about two crimes.

156
00:09:17,950 --> 00:09:20,670
Hit and runs of felony, passing a stop
sign is a traffic violation.

157
00:09:26,290 --> 00:09:28,290
This could be serious for the victim's
critical.

158
00:09:29,970 --> 00:09:30,970
How is he?

159
00:09:31,660 --> 00:09:34,040
He's got a concussion, but they say he's
going to be all right.

160
00:09:35,180 --> 00:09:37,740
But Stella, that's a different story.

161
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,840
If she knew what was going on... And she
doesn't?

162
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,620
The hospital's keeping the newspapers
away from her.

163
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,320
But if I had to go to jail, I couldn't
hide that fact very long.

164
00:09:49,620 --> 00:09:51,780
And you're positive you stopped at that
stop sign?

165
00:09:52,820 --> 00:09:53,820
I stopped.

166
00:09:53,860 --> 00:09:54,860
I stopped!

167
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,740
That's what's so crazy about this whole
thing.

168
00:09:59,340 --> 00:10:02,340
Now, five witnesses go to the district
attorney's office and swear that I

169
00:10:02,340 --> 00:10:04,420
didn't. How do you figure a thing like
that, Jerry?

170
00:10:06,180 --> 00:10:08,940
You don't know any of these people.
Never saw any of them before in my life.

171
00:10:09,140 --> 00:10:11,940
Now, how could they see something that
never happened? Mike, I'm not a criminal

172
00:10:11,940 --> 00:10:16,040
lawyer, but I've been around enough
courtrooms to know that an eyewitness

173
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,500
can be the weirdest animal in the zoo.

174
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,500
Personally, I like a good, clean case of
circumstantial evidence.

175
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,880
Five eyewitnesses can tell you the five
different stories about the same... So

176
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,940
these five are telling the same story,
and they're all wrong.

177
00:10:28,980 --> 00:10:30,460
What's a jury going to think about that?

178
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,620
Well, you leave that up to your
attorney.

179
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,620
I'm going to give you the name of a man
I know.

180
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:42,960
I'm not hiring an attorney, Jerry.

181
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:45,600
What?

182
00:10:45,740 --> 00:10:47,500
No, I'm going to defend myself.

183
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,860
Where did you get such a cockamamie
idea?

184
00:10:52,300 --> 00:10:54,080
Just because you're a hotshot mystery
writer?

185
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,600
No, I'm going to defend myself.

186
00:10:57,430 --> 00:10:59,210
I've been around courtrooms before, you
know.

187
00:10:59,670 --> 00:11:03,010
I just don't dream up that stuff that I
write that has to be authentic these

188
00:11:03,010 --> 00:11:07,230
days. A man who keeps his own counsel...
That's a fool for a lawyer, I know, I

189
00:11:07,230 --> 00:11:08,230
know.

190
00:11:08,430 --> 00:11:10,790
But I've thought a lot about this. This
is something I've got to do.

191
00:11:11,970 --> 00:11:13,230
There are reasons, believe me.

192
00:11:15,630 --> 00:11:17,630
All right, now you're Clarence Darrow.

193
00:11:17,890 --> 00:11:19,450
So, what do you want from me?

194
00:11:19,850 --> 00:11:24,670
Talk, advice, anything you can give me.
Jerry, you've got to show me how to

195
00:11:24,670 --> 00:11:25,670
shake up those witnesses.

196
00:11:26,030 --> 00:11:27,030
All right.

197
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:28,240
So we'll talk.

198
00:11:30,100 --> 00:11:31,100
Thank you.

199
00:11:31,540 --> 00:11:34,160
Can I, uh... Can I fix you another
drink?

200
00:11:34,740 --> 00:11:36,240
Better put on a pot of coffee.

201
00:11:36,820 --> 00:11:37,820
A big pot.

202
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,120
And, Mike... I'm your friend, right?

203
00:11:43,380 --> 00:11:44,900
I'm telling you the truth, Jerry.

204
00:11:45,620 --> 00:11:49,260
Maybe nobody will believe it, but...
It's the truth.

205
00:11:58,410 --> 00:12:01,230
Mr. Anderson, you may make your opening
remarks to the jury.

206
00:12:02,350 --> 00:12:03,350
Thank you, Your Honor.

207
00:12:07,170 --> 00:12:13,350
Members of the jury, the defendant in
this trial is charged with a felony

208
00:12:13,350 --> 00:12:14,670
known to you as hit-and-run.

209
00:12:16,450 --> 00:12:18,830
The case for the prosecution is a simple
one.

210
00:12:19,970 --> 00:12:23,290
We'll bring to the witness stand five
independent eyewitnesses.

211
00:12:23,950 --> 00:12:27,330
Each one of them will give you direct
evidence regarding the accident in

212
00:12:27,330 --> 00:12:28,330
question.

213
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,160
None of these witnesses has any interest
in this case.

214
00:12:32,900 --> 00:12:36,780
None of them knows either the defendant
or the man who was injured, Harold

215
00:12:36,780 --> 00:12:37,780
Brady.

216
00:12:38,300 --> 00:12:40,800
I would like for you to listen very
carefully to their testimony.

217
00:12:42,660 --> 00:12:46,780
Now, each of these witnesses will tell
you without qualification that the

218
00:12:46,780 --> 00:12:51,580
accused, Michael Barnes, was involved in
a collision between his vehicle and a

219
00:12:51,580 --> 00:12:54,800
motorcycle at Holland Avenue and
Greensville Road.

220
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,300
Your Honor, I've just received some
important information regarding this

221
00:13:15,300 --> 00:13:16,300
case.

222
00:13:16,780 --> 00:13:20,420
The victim of the accident, Harold
Brady, has just died as a result of his

223
00:13:20,420 --> 00:13:24,620
injuries. In view of this development, I
request that the hit-and-run charge be

224
00:13:24,620 --> 00:13:25,620
dismissed.

225
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,740
The case can then be refiled with a
charge of involuntary manslaughter.

226
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,800
Mr. Anderson, are you ready to call your
first witness?

227
00:13:45,140 --> 00:13:48,200
Yes, Your Honor. The prosecution calls
Miss Penelope Sanford.

228
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,120
Penelope Sanford.

229
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,200
Hold it, ma'am.

230
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:09,600
Raise your right hand.

231
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,820
Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the

232
00:14:13,820 --> 00:14:14,820
truth, so help your God?

233
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:16,479
I do.

234
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:17,480
State your full name.

235
00:14:18,140 --> 00:14:19,240
Penelope Sanford.

236
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:20,520
Take the witness stamp.

237
00:14:32,460 --> 00:14:35,240
Miss Sanford, you live at 12 Ridgewood
Drive in Greensville?

238
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:36,680
That's right.

239
00:14:36,740 --> 00:14:40,420
But on the day in question, you were at
the corner of Holland Avenue and...

240
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:41,900
Greensville Road, weren't you?

241
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,680
I was waiting for somebody.

242
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:44,960
The creep.

243
00:14:45,540 --> 00:14:46,540
I beg your pardon?

244
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,700
I was waiting for George Peabody.

245
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:51,700
And who was George Peabody?

246
00:14:52,580 --> 00:14:54,200
The creep I was waiting for.

247
00:14:54,700 --> 00:14:59,940
Miss Sanford, I assume George Peabody is
a friend of yours?

248
00:15:00,340 --> 00:15:01,760
Not anymore, he's not.

249
00:15:02,060 --> 00:15:04,420
All right, Miss Sanford, so now we know
why you were there.

250
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,940
But let's get to the accident itself.

251
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,900
You were the witness to what happened on
May 17th?

252
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,480
Well, I don't remember the date. It was
on a Tuesday.

253
00:15:13,780 --> 00:15:14,840
But you remember the accident?

254
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:16,440
Oh, it was awful.

255
00:15:16,620 --> 00:15:20,400
I had to look away so as not to see it.
But you saw what happened before you

256
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:21,400
looked away?

257
00:15:21,460 --> 00:15:22,460
Of course.

258
00:15:22,580 --> 00:15:25,340
All right. Will you please tell the
court exactly what you saw?

259
00:15:26,060 --> 00:15:31,080
Well, I saw this man flying over the
car, and then I didn't look anymore.

260
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,140
But what did you see before that?

261
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:35,940
Now, please start at the beginning.

262
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:38,820
The beginning? You mean George?

263
00:15:39,860 --> 00:15:41,120
No, not about George.

264
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,100
Miss Sanford, this is a diagram of the
intersection where the accident took

265
00:15:47,100 --> 00:15:49,280
place. Would you mind showing us what
happened?

266
00:15:49,660 --> 00:15:50,660
Oh, sure.

267
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,700
The car was coming from there, and the
motorcycle was coming from there.

268
00:15:56,980 --> 00:15:59,280
Now, when you first saw the car, where
was it?

269
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:01,380
Coming down the road.

270
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,160
And did it stop at the stop sign?

271
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:05,620
Oh, no, it went right through.

272
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:06,880
How fast?

273
00:16:09,089 --> 00:16:10,650
Oh, like that.

274
00:16:10,950 --> 00:16:12,270
And it didn't stop at all?

275
00:16:12,810 --> 00:16:16,170
Not until it got in the middle of the
road. That's when the motorcycle hit it.

276
00:16:16,610 --> 00:16:18,250
How fast was the motorcycle going?

277
00:16:19,010 --> 00:16:22,910
Oh, pretty slow, I think. He was very
cute.

278
00:16:23,890 --> 00:16:24,769
Who was?

279
00:16:24,770 --> 00:16:25,990
The boy on the motorcycle.

280
00:16:26,490 --> 00:16:28,650
I saw him before the ambulance took him
away.

281
00:16:30,990 --> 00:16:32,050
Thank you, Miss Sanford.

282
00:16:33,270 --> 00:16:34,470
I have no further questions.

283
00:16:35,710 --> 00:16:37,390
Mr. Barnes, do you wish to
cross-examine?

284
00:16:38,650 --> 00:16:39,650
Yes, Your Honor.

285
00:16:52,370 --> 00:16:57,570
Miss Sanford, you were standing on the
street across from a place called

286
00:16:57,570 --> 00:16:58,570
Harry's.

287
00:16:58,850 --> 00:17:00,390
Oh, yes, I always stand there.

288
00:17:00,950 --> 00:17:03,410
I mean, it wouldn't look very good
standing in front of a bar.

289
00:17:04,030 --> 00:17:09,839
Yes. Now, Miss Sanford, you told Mr.
Anderson that you looked up and you saw

290
00:17:09,839 --> 00:17:12,579
this motorcycle driver flying over the
car.

291
00:17:12,780 --> 00:17:13,780
Is that right?

292
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,700
Yes. And then you turned your head away.

293
00:17:17,420 --> 00:17:18,420
That's right.

294
00:17:19,099 --> 00:17:23,400
Miss Sanford, are you sure that your
head wasn't turned away before the

295
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,640
accident? Oh, no, I saw the whole thing.

296
00:17:29,500 --> 00:17:33,100
Miss Sanford, do you remember what you
were thinking about before the accident?

297
00:17:34,370 --> 00:17:35,530
What I was thinking about?

298
00:17:37,330 --> 00:17:38,430
How should I know?

299
00:17:39,150 --> 00:17:42,710
Well, I mean, you weren't thinking about
the accident just then, were you?

300
00:17:43,250 --> 00:17:45,350
Well, of course not. It hadn't happened
yet.

301
00:17:46,710 --> 00:17:47,710
Objection, Your Honor.

302
00:17:47,770 --> 00:17:49,110
This is not a relevant question.

303
00:17:49,650 --> 00:17:50,950
It is relevant, Your Honor.

304
00:17:51,450 --> 00:17:54,350
Now, the witness has just told in detail
how the accident happened.

305
00:17:54,550 --> 00:17:58,550
Now, I know that it didn't happen that
way, and I want to know what was on her

306
00:17:58,550 --> 00:17:59,550
mind at the time.

307
00:18:00,070 --> 00:18:01,910
Well, I'll not stop you, Mr. Barnes.

308
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,600
But I'll caution you not to carry this
line of questioning too far.

309
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,080
Thank you, Your Honor.

310
00:18:07,660 --> 00:18:11,160
Miss Sanford, you spoke of a George
Peabody.

311
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,500
Don't even mention his name to me.

312
00:18:14,060 --> 00:18:16,740
Now, when you talked about him, you
called him something.

313
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,080
What was it?

314
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:21,620
Shall I have it read back?

315
00:18:22,180 --> 00:18:24,860
Will the recorder please read back Miss
Sanford's statement?

316
00:18:30,020 --> 00:18:31,020
Question.

317
00:18:31,189 --> 00:18:32,810
And who is George Peabody?

318
00:18:33,270 --> 00:18:35,210
Answer, the creep I was waiting for.

319
00:18:35,770 --> 00:18:36,770
Thank you.

320
00:18:37,330 --> 00:18:41,570
That doesn't sound like you like George
Peabody very much. And yet you made an

321
00:18:41,570 --> 00:18:44,270
appointment to meet him that Tuesday.
Well, sure I did.

322
00:18:44,570 --> 00:18:47,650
I waited on that corner for an hour and
he never even showed his face.

323
00:18:47,990 --> 00:18:50,050
And you were a little upset because you
were stood up.

324
00:18:50,410 --> 00:18:51,430
Well, wouldn't you be?

325
00:18:52,070 --> 00:18:54,570
Wearing your best dress and everything
and he never even showed.

326
00:18:54,970 --> 00:18:56,410
In fact, you were quite angry.

327
00:18:59,980 --> 00:19:03,600
You see, we had this fight the week
before. I mean, it wasn't my fault.

328
00:19:03,660 --> 00:19:06,320
George gets a whacked out of his skull
at the least little thing.

329
00:19:07,260 --> 00:19:10,040
Well, anyway, I went to this bash at
Freddy Drew's place.

330
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,680
You know, Freddy digs me too much, and
George went ape about it.

331
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,200
Your Honor, I think I might be able to
translate.

332
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:22,400
You see, it appears that George is
highly excitable, and Miss Sanford went

333
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,060
to a party where the host... Freddy.

334
00:19:24,820 --> 00:19:27,700
Where a young man named Freddy paid her
considerable attention.

335
00:19:28,250 --> 00:19:29,930
And this made George quite angry.

336
00:19:30,230 --> 00:19:31,630
Is that right, Miss Hampton? Oh, yes,
sir.

337
00:19:32,950 --> 00:19:37,490
Anyway, we had this fight and he didn't
call me for over a week.

338
00:19:37,810 --> 00:19:38,810
George, I mean.

339
00:19:39,110 --> 00:19:41,710
And then two hours before the accident,
he gave me a bell.

340
00:19:42,170 --> 00:19:43,670
A telephone call.

341
00:19:45,430 --> 00:19:48,710
He wanted me to meet him at the corner
of Holland and Greensville at 6.30.

342
00:19:50,030 --> 00:19:53,930
And you were waiting there, growing
considerably more angry when the

343
00:19:53,930 --> 00:19:54,930
accident occurred.

344
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:56,499
That's right.

345
00:19:56,500 --> 00:19:59,060
And you were pretty busy thinking about
George, too, weren't you?

346
00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:02,200
I'll say I was. Oh, boy, the things I
was going to tell him. Yes.

347
00:20:02,460 --> 00:20:05,500
You were dreaming up all the things you
were going to say to George when you saw

348
00:20:05,500 --> 00:20:08,440
him. And you weren't thinking about
anything else, were you? You just wait

349
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,860
till I think. You didn't notice people
or cars or motorcycles or anything?

350
00:20:12,180 --> 00:20:16,100
Oh, but I did. I couldn't help hearing
that. You couldn't help hearing that

351
00:20:16,100 --> 00:20:19,180
accident, now could you? Oh, no, it was
an awful crash. That was the first you

352
00:20:19,180 --> 00:20:21,300
knew of the accident, the sound of the
screeching brakes.

353
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:22,780
And that's when you looked up.

354
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,880
I don't think it was that way. Isn't it
true that you only think you saw the car

355
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:27,980
go through that stop sign?

356
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,940
Well, everybody said it did. I mean, all
the other people. That's right.

357
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,100
You thought you heard all the other
people talking about it, and you

358
00:20:34,100 --> 00:20:35,100
believed it.

359
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:38,520
That's all, Miss Sanford.

360
00:20:39,060 --> 00:20:40,060
You may step down.

361
00:20:43,380 --> 00:20:45,840
Your Honor, the prosecution now calls
Colonel John Hoy.

362
00:21:11,370 --> 00:21:13,770
You saw me swear to tell the truth, the
whole truth, nothing but the truth, so

363
00:21:13,770 --> 00:21:14,770
help me God. I do.

364
00:21:15,010 --> 00:21:16,010
State your full name.

365
00:21:16,590 --> 00:21:17,309
John Hoy.

366
00:21:17,310 --> 00:21:18,310
Take the button.

367
00:21:22,750 --> 00:21:23,110
Colonel

368
00:21:23,110 --> 00:21:31,850
Hoy,

369
00:21:31,930 --> 00:21:35,030
you live at the southwest corner of
Holland Avenue and Greensville Road?

370
00:21:35,310 --> 00:21:36,310
Yes, I do.

371
00:21:37,450 --> 00:21:40,450
On the diagram, that would be about
there, wouldn't it?

372
00:21:42,929 --> 00:21:43,929
Right again.

373
00:21:44,930 --> 00:21:47,550
You were on the outside of your house on
the day of May 17?

374
00:21:48,490 --> 00:21:51,850
Yes, I was in my garden. Will you please
tell the court exactly what you saw on

375
00:21:51,850 --> 00:21:55,530
that day? As I said, I was in my garden.
I grow roses, prize roses.

376
00:21:56,530 --> 00:21:59,710
I saw a sports car speeding down the
street heading to the intersection.

377
00:22:01,250 --> 00:22:03,370
How fast was that car traveling, would
you say?

378
00:22:03,650 --> 00:22:04,930
I don't know how fast. Fast.

379
00:22:05,130 --> 00:22:07,010
So fast it couldn't stop at the sign on
the corner.

380
00:22:07,210 --> 00:22:08,450
It passed the stop sign?

381
00:22:08,690 --> 00:22:11,210
Yes. Then this motorcycle came west on
Holland.

382
00:22:11,550 --> 00:22:12,710
It was bound to be a crash.

383
00:22:12,950 --> 00:22:15,250
And you saw that the motorcycle couldn't
have avoided it.

384
00:22:15,730 --> 00:22:18,390
Sir, you asked me to make my report, and
I'm trying to make it. If you'll please

385
00:22:18,390 --> 00:22:19,209
let me finish.

386
00:22:19,210 --> 00:22:20,930
Ah, Colonel, there's no need for temper.

387
00:22:22,030 --> 00:22:23,810
Counselor's only trying to make your
testimony clear.

388
00:22:24,090 --> 00:22:26,110
Be a lot clearer if he'd allow me to
tell it my own way.

389
00:22:28,530 --> 00:22:30,490
I'm sorry, Colonel. I'll try not to
interrupt again.

390
00:22:30,790 --> 00:22:31,790
Please go on.

391
00:22:31,910 --> 00:22:33,430
Well, there's not a lot left to tell.

392
00:22:34,590 --> 00:22:35,890
Car went through the stop sign.

393
00:22:36,270 --> 00:22:37,270
Motorcycle hit him.

394
00:22:37,750 --> 00:22:38,830
The driver went on.

395
00:22:41,060 --> 00:22:44,400
Did the driver of the car change his
speed through all this?

396
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,600
Only at the last minute when he braked.
It was too late then.

397
00:22:48,180 --> 00:22:52,540
And the motorcycle that was approaching
from the east, what sort of speed was he

398
00:22:52,540 --> 00:22:53,219
going at?

399
00:22:53,220 --> 00:22:56,580
I'm not sure. Moderate, I'd say. But not
so moderate that he couldn't have

400
00:22:56,580 --> 00:22:57,519
avoided the crash?

401
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:58,520
It's a question of ballistics.

402
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,020
He couldn't have avoided the car any
more than a bullet can avoid a target.

403
00:23:02,580 --> 00:23:04,260
The sports car was right in front of
him.

404
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,400
Shouldn't allow a car like that. They
should keep it on a racing track.

405
00:23:08,460 --> 00:23:09,460
Shouldn't allow it on the streets.

406
00:23:11,379 --> 00:23:12,740
Just one more question, Colonel.

407
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:17,880
Have you known either the accused or the
injured before or after the accident?

408
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:19,440
That's two questions.

409
00:23:19,700 --> 00:23:22,040
No, it's four, as a matter of fact.
Answer them all, please.

410
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,040
No, no, no, no.

411
00:23:27,220 --> 00:23:28,400
That'll be all, Colonel. Thank you.

412
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:31,980
Mr. Barnes, do you wish to
cross-examine?

413
00:23:37,900 --> 00:23:38,900
Colonel Hoey.

414
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,480
I hope you won't take offense at what
I'm going to ask you. Your Honor, I

415
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,320
object. I'm afraid that is not the
prerogative of a witness, Colonel.

416
00:23:45,620 --> 00:23:48,580
This man was the driver of the sports
car. I see no reason... It's perfectly

417
00:23:48,580 --> 00:23:51,560
legal. Mr. Barnes has chosen to act in
his own defense.

418
00:23:52,300 --> 00:23:55,700
Now, you will answer his questions just
as you did Mr. Anderson's. Thank you,

419
00:23:55,700 --> 00:23:56,700
Your Honor.

420
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,180
Colonel, I'd like to repeat what I said.
I don't mean to be offensive, but...

421
00:24:01,180 --> 00:24:04,580
Well, I noticed that you're lame.

422
00:24:05,660 --> 00:24:06,760
I've only got one leg.

423
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:08,200
Oh, I'm sorry.

424
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:09,600
I didn't know that.

425
00:24:10,100 --> 00:24:15,220
By any chance, did you lose that leg in
an auto accident?

426
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,420
I did not. I lost it at Corregidor.

427
00:24:18,820 --> 00:24:19,820
I'm sorry.

428
00:24:20,460 --> 00:24:25,140
It's just that you seem to have such a
prejudice against sports cars. I was

429
00:24:25,140 --> 00:24:26,140
just looking for a reason.

430
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:28,240
Is that a question?

431
00:24:28,740 --> 00:24:30,920
No. No, merely an observation.

432
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,200
Colonel, would you mind telling me what
you were thinking about when you were in

433
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:38,200
your garden?

434
00:24:38,360 --> 00:24:39,860
Thinking? What business is that of
yours?

435
00:24:40,180 --> 00:24:41,520
Well, you must have been thinking about
something.

436
00:24:41,820 --> 00:24:45,260
You said you saw my car driving down the
street. And what were you thinking about

437
00:24:45,260 --> 00:24:45,979
just then?

438
00:24:45,980 --> 00:24:48,200
I was thinking about how fast it was
going. And that's all?

439
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,620
I was also thinking about my roses.

440
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,580
Your prize roses? That's right.

441
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,820
You're very proud of your roses, aren't
you, Colonel? Anything wrong in that?

442
00:24:58,060 --> 00:24:59,400
No. No, of course not.

443
00:25:01,580 --> 00:25:04,140
Colonel, you're a widower, aren't you?

444
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:05,919
That's correct.

445
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:06,920
You don't have any children?

446
00:25:09,659 --> 00:25:12,300
No. You don't seem very sure about that
answer, Colonel.

447
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,660
I have no children.

448
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,020
Did you ever have any children?

449
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,240
Your Honor, this man is out of order.

450
00:25:19,460 --> 00:25:21,820
It seems to me that... Answer the
question, Colonel.

451
00:25:24,120 --> 00:25:25,760
Yes, I had a son.

452
00:25:25,980 --> 00:25:28,380
Oh? And what happened to him, Colonel?

453
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:29,720
He was killed.

454
00:25:30,900 --> 00:25:31,900
I'm sorry.

455
00:25:32,100 --> 00:25:34,500
Was he in the war, too?

456
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,560
No, he was killed when he was three
years old.

457
00:25:38,670 --> 00:25:39,670
I see.

458
00:25:40,830 --> 00:25:43,770
You must think of him often, don't you?

459
00:25:44,630 --> 00:25:48,330
Perhaps you were even thinking of him at
the time of the accident.

460
00:25:50,170 --> 00:25:54,870
Colonel, I'm sorry to have to ask you
this, but how did your son die?

461
00:25:56,550 --> 00:25:58,390
One of your sports cars got him.

462
00:26:03,910 --> 00:26:07,470
We now take time out to hear from an
unscheduled witness.

463
00:26:08,220 --> 00:26:09,520
Your local station.

464
00:26:10,140 --> 00:26:14,620
We've asked him to limit himself to the
bare facts of the case. But

465
00:26:14,620 --> 00:26:17,060
unfortunately, he is a garrulous fellow.

466
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,020
So I'm afraid you're in for some
extraneous details.

467
00:26:22,820 --> 00:26:24,580
Oh, back so soon.

468
00:26:24,860 --> 00:26:29,040
I thought you'd become lost among all
those commercials, announcements,

469
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,120
bulletins and reminders.

470
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:36,040
Just in case you may still remember what
happened in the first half of our story.

471
00:26:36,730 --> 00:26:38,870
we present one more distraction.

472
00:26:40,730 --> 00:26:44,410
Mr. Stewart, we've been hearing a lot
about faulty observation in this trial.

473
00:26:44,930 --> 00:26:47,430
Do you feel that you saw the accident
clearly?

474
00:26:48,150 --> 00:26:52,470
Absolutely. You feel that your powers of
observation weren't impaired on the day

475
00:26:52,470 --> 00:26:53,550
of May 17th?

476
00:26:53,810 --> 00:26:54,810
Not in the least.

477
00:26:56,510 --> 00:27:01,130
You weren't preoccupied with, uh,
romantic problems?

478
00:27:01,850 --> 00:27:06,010
I've been happily married for 24 years.
And you're not prejudiced against sports

479
00:27:06,010 --> 00:27:07,010
cars? No.

480
00:27:07,430 --> 00:27:10,770
As a matter of fact, I gave my son a
sports car on his 21st birthday.

481
00:27:11,610 --> 00:27:16,590
Well, Mr. Stewart, since Mr. Barnes is
bound to ask this question, perhaps you

482
00:27:16,590 --> 00:27:19,010
can tell me what you were thinking about
at the time of the accident.

483
00:27:19,810 --> 00:27:20,810
Nothing at all.

484
00:27:21,210 --> 00:27:23,430
Except maybe about the fool who caused
it.

485
00:27:26,750 --> 00:27:28,870
You were in your own car at the time?

486
00:27:29,290 --> 00:27:31,870
Yes. I came up right behind him.

487
00:27:32,450 --> 00:27:34,530
How close were you to the actual
collision?

488
00:27:35,110 --> 00:27:38,290
I would say about 25 yards.

489
00:27:38,550 --> 00:27:40,650
Then you were able to observe the
accident.

490
00:27:41,030 --> 00:27:42,070
Oh, I saw it all right.

491
00:27:42,930 --> 00:27:47,270
I saw the motorcycle coming from the
right, and I saw the sports car stop in

492
00:27:47,270 --> 00:27:48,270
the middle of the road.

493
00:27:48,550 --> 00:27:51,650
Then the motorcycle hit the car, and the
driver went over the top.

494
00:27:52,370 --> 00:27:53,790
What did you do then, Mr. Stewart?

495
00:27:54,310 --> 00:27:57,530
I put on my brakes and got out of my car
to help the man.

496
00:27:57,810 --> 00:27:59,090
And the sports car?

497
00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:01,220
It just drove away.

498
00:28:02,900 --> 00:28:05,060
You mentioned the fool who caused the
accident.

499
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,160
Well, let's be more charitable and call
him the man.

500
00:28:08,900 --> 00:28:10,980
Which man did you refer to, Mr. Stewart?

501
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:13,420
Why, that one, of course.

502
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,020
That'll be all. Thank you.

503
00:28:18,820 --> 00:28:20,060
Defense may cross-examine.

504
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,200
Mr.

505
00:28:27,060 --> 00:28:28,160
Stewart, it looks like...

506
00:28:28,620 --> 00:28:31,400
Like the prosecution has sort of stolen
my thunder, hasn't he?

507
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,280
I mean, after all, we now know that you
weren't thinking about anything at all,

508
00:28:35,360 --> 00:28:35,999
don't we?

509
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,000
That's right.

510
00:28:37,260 --> 00:28:38,300
Isn't that a little unusual?

511
00:28:38,980 --> 00:28:43,540
I mean, I may be peculiar, but I know
that I can't keep from thinking, no

512
00:28:43,540 --> 00:28:44,540
matter what I'm doing.

513
00:28:44,940 --> 00:28:47,780
Now, right now, for instance, I'm
thinking about that tie that you're

514
00:28:47,780 --> 00:28:52,120
wearing, the corn on my right foot, and
the temperature in here.

515
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,040
I was thinking about my driving.

516
00:28:54,980 --> 00:28:57,260
Do you always keep your mind on your
driving?

517
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,260
Yes. That's why I've never had an
accident.

518
00:29:02,140 --> 00:29:04,740
Mr. Stewart, how fast was your car
traveling behind me?

519
00:29:05,380 --> 00:29:08,620
Maybe 40 miles an hour. And you had no
trouble stopping at the stop sign,

520
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:09,760
traveling at that speed?

521
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,300
I reduced speed when I saw the stop
sign.

522
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,520
Oh, we just told the court that you put
on your brakes when you saw the

523
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,620
accident. I didn't say that.

524
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,480
Oh, yes, but I think you did.

525
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,580
Your Honor, may I have that statement
read back, please?

526
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,420
Please read that part of Mr. Stewart's
testimony.

527
00:29:32,860 --> 00:29:36,460
Mr. Stewart, the motorcycle hit the car
and the driver went over the top.

528
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,220
Mr. Anderson, what did you do then?

529
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,880
Mr. Stewart, I put on my brakes and got
out of the car.

530
00:29:43,780 --> 00:29:46,380
I meant it. I put on my parking brakes.

531
00:29:46,620 --> 00:29:47,940
I'd already stopped the car.

532
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,320
Isn't it possible that you hadn't braked
at all? That you only put on the brakes

533
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:52,320
when you saw the motorcycle?

534
00:29:52,540 --> 00:29:55,520
And that you were so busy stopping your
own car that you didn't see anything?

535
00:29:55,700 --> 00:29:56,700
Not anything at all?

536
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,840
No. I saw the whole thing.

537
00:29:59,980 --> 00:30:02,160
Your car did not stop at the stop sign.

538
00:30:02,620 --> 00:30:05,660
And the accident was due entirely to
your careless driving.

539
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,420
Thank you, Mr. Peterson. That's all I
wanted to know.

540
00:30:28,140 --> 00:30:30,380
Oh, uh, just one moment, Mr. Peterson.

541
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,400
Mr. Barnes may have some questions.

542
00:30:37,020 --> 00:30:42,000
Mr. Peterson, I'm sorry to disturb you.

543
00:30:42,460 --> 00:30:43,560
Oh, that's all right.

544
00:30:44,660 --> 00:30:48,820
Mr. Peterson, your story seems to be the
same as everyone else's.

545
00:30:49,420 --> 00:30:53,420
Shows it must be true, then. Either that
or you're all wrong.

546
00:30:54,510 --> 00:30:57,730
Mr. Peterson, you've testified here in
court that you were coming out of a

547
00:30:57,730 --> 00:31:00,470
tavern called Harry's when you saw the
accident.

548
00:31:01,370 --> 00:31:02,450
Did I say that?

549
00:31:02,830 --> 00:31:04,490
Yes. Would you like to change your
testimony?

550
00:31:04,930 --> 00:31:05,990
No, no, no.

551
00:31:06,190 --> 00:31:09,790
I was either coming out or going in, one
or the other.

552
00:31:10,030 --> 00:31:11,910
Well, it might be important to know
which one it was.

553
00:31:12,270 --> 00:31:16,110
Now, if you were coming out, then you
were facing the street. But if you were

554
00:31:16,110 --> 00:31:18,410
going in, then you must have been facing
the door.

555
00:31:19,630 --> 00:31:20,630
Not necessarily.

556
00:31:21,810 --> 00:31:22,810
How do you mean?

557
00:31:22,950 --> 00:31:23,950
I mean...

558
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,640
Sometimes I've come out facing the door.

559
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,960
You mean you've been evicted from
Harry's?

560
00:31:32,780 --> 00:31:34,660
Oh, no, I wouldn't say that.

561
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,580
Were you ever thrown out of the tavern?

562
00:31:38,180 --> 00:31:43,100
No, no, I wouldn't call it that.
Sometimes I have been assisted out.

563
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,860
Were you assisted on May 17th?

564
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,080
No.

565
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,760
My leave was purely financial.

566
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:51,640
Pockets was empty.

567
00:31:52,620 --> 00:31:53,620
Hold on.

568
00:31:53,950 --> 00:31:55,770
How many drinks would you say that you'd
had?

569
00:31:56,290 --> 00:31:58,950
Well, I'd say one or two.

570
00:31:59,710 --> 00:32:01,230
My old lady asked me.

571
00:32:01,710 --> 00:32:04,090
Well, I'm asking you, Mr. Peterson.

572
00:32:04,350 --> 00:32:07,190
Oh, in that case, I'd say five or six.

573
00:32:07,990 --> 00:32:10,290
And were you seeing things pretty
clearly?

574
00:32:10,930 --> 00:32:15,430
Young man, when I start seeing things, I
stop drinking.

575
00:32:15,710 --> 00:32:18,170
Well, I mean seeing things like on the
street, the accident.

576
00:32:18,650 --> 00:32:20,570
Oh, that. Oh, yeah, I saw that right.

577
00:32:20,810 --> 00:32:22,550
You saw that very clearly.

578
00:32:23,139 --> 00:32:24,540
No, thank heavens, no.

579
00:32:25,300 --> 00:32:28,300
Well, Mr. Peterson, you gave the court a
pretty detailed picture of what

580
00:32:28,300 --> 00:32:29,880
happened. Did I?

581
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:31,120
Yes.

582
00:32:31,420 --> 00:32:34,760
Now, isn't it the truth that you were
intoxicated when you left Harry's?

583
00:32:35,500 --> 00:32:39,420
I should hope so. That you had five or
six drinks at the bar and you were just

584
00:32:39,420 --> 00:32:40,920
plain drunk. Now, isn't that right?

585
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,640
I like the other word better.

586
00:32:44,820 --> 00:32:46,040
Intoxicated? Yeah.

587
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,860
And then you couldn't give a detailed
picture of exactly what happened.

588
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:52,720
I did my best.

589
00:32:53,840 --> 00:33:00,320
Mr. Peterson, this is very important.
Now, did you or did you not see that

590
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,400
sports car stop at the stop sign?

591
00:33:03,620 --> 00:33:05,600
I guess I can't remember that part.

592
00:33:06,180 --> 00:33:08,740
All I remember is that fellow going
through the air.

593
00:33:09,740 --> 00:33:11,180
It was a sobering sight.

594
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,020
So I just went back into Harry's.

595
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:18,520
Thank you, Mr. Peterson.

596
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,460
There's no use congratulating yourself,
Mike.

597
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,460
Peterson doesn't make that much
difference. Yes, but you heard him. Now,

598
00:33:26,460 --> 00:33:28,580
what kind of a witness is that? He
admitted he was drunk.

599
00:33:28,860 --> 00:33:31,780
Anderson never expected Peterson's
testimony to count for much.

600
00:33:32,060 --> 00:33:35,560
He figured he didn't need it. But that
girl Sanford and the colonel, don't you

601
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,340
think the jury knows what kind of
witnesses Anderson has collected? You're

602
00:33:38,340 --> 00:33:39,219
forgetting Stewart.

603
00:33:39,220 --> 00:33:42,160
Never mind what you think he is. He's a
strong witness, a man who sticks to his

604
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:43,940
testimony. And he's got a reputation.

605
00:33:46,500 --> 00:33:47,500
Hello.

606
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:49,280
Oh, yes, Doctor.

607
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:52,440
Yes?

608
00:33:53,140 --> 00:33:54,140
Yes, I understand.

609
00:33:55,060 --> 00:33:58,920
Well, I'll be here the rest of the
evening, but I won't be here tomorrow.

610
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:03,460
Look, if nothing happens between now and
then, can I call you?

611
00:34:05,020 --> 00:34:06,860
Okay. All right, thank you.

612
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:09,980
Stella, she's in the labor room.

613
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:11,620
Could be another false alarm.

614
00:34:12,060 --> 00:34:13,060
I know.

615
00:34:13,260 --> 00:34:16,480
Mike, you've got to keep your mind out
of the hospital. Get it back to the

616
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:17,480
courtroom.

617
00:34:17,940 --> 00:34:18,960
Last witness tomorrow.

618
00:34:22,060 --> 00:34:23,699
Miss Joanne Dowling.

619
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,080
Your name is Joanne Dowling?

620
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,159
Well, not exactly.

621
00:34:32,679 --> 00:34:33,679
Well, how do you mean?

622
00:34:34,300 --> 00:34:36,639
That's my maiden name. I was Mrs.

623
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:37,738
Walter Brooks.

624
00:34:37,739 --> 00:34:39,380
Pardon me a moment, Counselor.

625
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:44,219
Miss Dowling, do I understand that you
were separated from your husband?

626
00:34:44,659 --> 00:34:45,659
We're divorced.

627
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,000
I see.

628
00:34:47,820 --> 00:34:48,820
Proceed, Counselor.

629
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:50,380
Miss Dowling...

630
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,820
Would you please tell the court exactly
where you were and what you saw on the

631
00:34:53,820 --> 00:34:54,820
day of the accident?

632
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,160
I was standing at the bus stop when it
happened.

633
00:34:58,320 --> 00:34:59,660
When did you first see the car?

634
00:35:00,980 --> 00:35:02,280
Before it came to the intersection.

635
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,040
And did it stop at the stop sign?

636
00:35:05,720 --> 00:35:06,720
Yes.

637
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:13,240
Miss Dowling, I asked you if the car
stopped at the stop sign.

638
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,820
And she said yes. You heard her. Will
you please let me conduct my own

639
00:35:16,820 --> 00:35:17,820
examination, Mr. Barnes?

640
00:35:21,190 --> 00:35:23,110
I want to make sure that she understood
the question.

641
00:35:24,910 --> 00:35:26,890
Miss Dowling, did you understand my
question?

642
00:35:27,830 --> 00:35:30,550
Well, you asked if the car stopped at
the sign, and I said yes.

643
00:35:30,890 --> 00:35:32,150
Are you absolutely positive?

644
00:35:33,170 --> 00:35:34,170
I think so.

645
00:35:34,230 --> 00:35:35,230
You think so?

646
00:35:36,290 --> 00:35:40,010
Yes. You think so, but that doesn't show
that you're absolutely positive, does

647
00:35:40,010 --> 00:35:41,010
it?

648
00:35:41,350 --> 00:35:45,130
Well, I... Your Honor, in view of Miss
Dowling's deposition, I wish to treat

649
00:35:45,130 --> 00:35:46,130
her as a hostile witness.

650
00:35:46,890 --> 00:35:47,890
Very well, Counselor.

651
00:35:48,430 --> 00:35:50,250
Miss Dowling, do you know what a
deposition is?

652
00:35:50,750 --> 00:35:52,310
It's a statement you made before the
trial.

653
00:35:54,130 --> 00:35:56,550
Yes. Do you know the accused, Michael
Barnes?

654
00:35:57,310 --> 00:35:58,970
No. Do you know the rider of the
motorcycle?

655
00:35:59,590 --> 00:36:01,470
No. Have you spoken to either of them?

656
00:36:02,450 --> 00:36:03,730
No. Or to their lawyers?

657
00:36:04,250 --> 00:36:07,610
No. Do you remember the statement you
made to the police before the trial at

658
00:36:07,610 --> 00:36:08,610
the time of the accident?

659
00:36:09,330 --> 00:36:12,550
Yes. But you don't remember it very
well, do you? You've changed your mind.

660
00:36:14,350 --> 00:36:15,350
Have I?

661
00:36:16,950 --> 00:36:18,330
Please let the witness read her
statement.

662
00:36:26,830 --> 00:36:28,230
Is that your signature, Miss Darling?

663
00:36:30,550 --> 00:36:33,850
Yes. Well, which is right? What you said
then or what you're saying now?

664
00:36:35,510 --> 00:36:36,530
What I say now.

665
00:36:36,750 --> 00:36:37,750
Why?

666
00:36:38,710 --> 00:36:41,170
Well, because it is. I must have made a
mistake before.

667
00:36:44,830 --> 00:36:45,830
That's all.

668
00:36:49,450 --> 00:36:50,910
Any questions, Mr. Barnes?

669
00:36:52,450 --> 00:36:53,450
No, Your Honor.

670
00:36:54,290 --> 00:36:56,690
Well, don't you even want to ask the
lady what she was thinking about?

671
00:36:58,230 --> 00:37:01,350
No, thank you, Your Honor. Well, I
believe I will.

672
00:37:04,570 --> 00:37:07,550
Tell me, Miss Dowling, what were you
thinking about at the time of the

673
00:37:07,550 --> 00:37:08,550
accident?

674
00:37:08,850 --> 00:37:09,930
Do I have to say?

675
00:37:10,230 --> 00:37:11,290
Oh, yes, I'm afraid so.

676
00:37:13,170 --> 00:37:14,890
I was thinking about my baby.

677
00:37:16,030 --> 00:37:17,030
I see.

678
00:37:17,570 --> 00:37:18,570
What about your baby?

679
00:37:19,910 --> 00:37:21,190
He was going to be adopted.

680
00:37:22,230 --> 00:37:23,290
You were married how long?

681
00:37:24,710 --> 00:37:25,710
Six months.

682
00:37:26,810 --> 00:37:28,730
My husband, he wasn't any good.

683
00:37:29,210 --> 00:37:30,310
So you divorced him.

684
00:37:31,110 --> 00:37:32,510
But couldn't you keep your baby?

685
00:37:33,690 --> 00:37:35,390
My parents didn't want me to.

686
00:37:35,750 --> 00:37:37,010
They said I was too young.

687
00:37:37,610 --> 00:37:40,690
They said I'd never find anybody else if
I was tied down with a baby.

688
00:37:41,870 --> 00:37:45,790
I didn't want to have him adopted, but
they seemed to think it was the only

689
00:37:45,790 --> 00:37:46,790
answer.

690
00:37:47,510 --> 00:37:49,110
Has he been adopted?

691
00:37:49,970 --> 00:37:50,970
No.

692
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,680
That's where I was going the day of the
accident, to see the lawyer about the

693
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:55,680
consent agreement.

694
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:57,240
Did you sign the agreement?

695
00:37:58,100 --> 00:37:59,320
No, I never got there.

696
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,500
I was so upset by the accident that I
just went home.

697
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,080
I see. Well, have you signed the
agreement since then?

698
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:13,720
No. I called him the next day, but he
was busy. He said he wouldn't be able to

699
00:38:13,720 --> 00:38:14,760
see me for another week.

700
00:38:15,300 --> 00:38:16,300
A whole week.

701
00:38:18,510 --> 00:38:21,450
And that baby was with you during that
entire time?

702
00:38:23,510 --> 00:38:24,510
Yes.

703
00:38:26,990 --> 00:38:29,730
Tell me, did you ever get to see this
lawyer?

704
00:38:30,530 --> 00:38:31,530
No.

705
00:38:32,430 --> 00:38:35,310
I finally called him and told him I
wouldn't go through with it.

706
00:38:36,130 --> 00:38:37,730
I love my baby, Your Honor.

707
00:38:38,730 --> 00:38:39,850
What about your parents?

708
00:38:40,790 --> 00:38:42,370
Well, they love him too now.

709
00:38:43,990 --> 00:38:46,210
You know, the truth is that...

710
00:38:47,240 --> 00:38:51,280
If it hadn't been for this accident,
that baby wouldn't be yours right now.

711
00:38:51,420 --> 00:38:52,420
Isn't that right?

712
00:38:52,500 --> 00:38:53,500
That's true.

713
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,660
Yes, you could almost say that Mr.

714
00:38:57,880 --> 00:38:59,120
Barnes did you a favor.

715
00:38:59,420 --> 00:39:01,440
I mean, by having the accident when he
did.

716
00:39:02,940 --> 00:39:04,100
I suppose so.

717
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:13,640
Mr.

718
00:39:14,180 --> 00:39:16,320
Barnes, do you wish to call any
witnesses for the defense?

719
00:39:22,259 --> 00:39:23,259
Only one, Your Honor.

720
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:24,560
Myself.

721
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:31,680
Raise your right hand.

722
00:39:32,060 --> 00:39:34,560
Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth, and not let the truth

723
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:35,580
so help you God? I do.

724
00:39:35,780 --> 00:39:36,100
Would

725
00:39:36,100 --> 00:39:45,880
you

726
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,220
like to make a statement, Mr. Byrne?

727
00:39:48,740 --> 00:39:49,740
Yes.

728
00:39:54,860 --> 00:39:58,280
I just want to say that I am innocent of
this charge.

729
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:00,920
The accident was not my fault.

730
00:40:02,220 --> 00:40:05,540
I'm sorry that it happened, but it just
wasn't my fault.

731
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:10,200
That's awesome.

732
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:11,840
One moment, please.

733
00:40:12,820 --> 00:40:13,920
Your Honor, since Mr.

734
00:40:14,180 --> 00:40:17,400
Barnes has placed himself on the stand,
I'd like the right of cross-examination.

735
00:40:19,180 --> 00:40:20,280
Very well, Counselor.

736
00:40:29,670 --> 00:40:30,910
A fiction writer, Mr. Barnes?

737
00:40:31,130 --> 00:40:32,130
Yes.

738
00:40:32,590 --> 00:40:33,670
Crime fiction, I believe.

739
00:40:34,050 --> 00:40:35,050
Yes.

740
00:40:35,330 --> 00:40:37,870
Well, all we're interested in is facts,
Mr. Barnes.

741
00:40:39,610 --> 00:40:43,210
You know the stop sign at the corner of
Holland Avenue and Greensville Road?

742
00:40:44,430 --> 00:40:45,430
Yes.

743
00:40:45,630 --> 00:40:49,370
Well, at the time of the collision
between your car and the motorcycle, did

744
00:40:49,370 --> 00:40:51,390
you or did you not pass that stop sign?

745
00:40:53,470 --> 00:40:56,890
Look, I've made my statement. I'm
innocent of the charge. The accident was

746
00:40:56,890 --> 00:40:57,890
not my fault.

747
00:40:59,460 --> 00:41:00,459
Answer the question.

748
00:41:00,460 --> 00:41:01,460
That is my answer.

749
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:03,080
I'll repeat it.

750
00:41:04,140 --> 00:41:07,020
Did you or did you not pass that top
sign?

751
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:14,279
Well, Mr.

752
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:21,240
Bynes... I... I refuse to answer that
question on

753
00:41:21,240 --> 00:41:23,080
the grounds that it may tend to
incriminate me.

754
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:27,060
Your Honor, I think this witness is
confused about his rights.

755
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:29,000
Yes, Mr. Barnes.

756
00:41:29,340 --> 00:41:30,520
You must answer the question.

757
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:32,440
But, Your Honor, I don't have to. Yes,
you do.

758
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,900
You see, by taking the witness stand of
your own volition, you have waived your

759
00:41:36,900 --> 00:41:38,560
privilege of the Fifth and Fourteenth
Amendment.

760
00:41:39,500 --> 00:41:41,020
You will answer Mr. Anderson's
questions.

761
00:41:42,940 --> 00:41:43,940
I can't answer it.

762
00:41:44,220 --> 00:41:45,660
Then you refuse to testify.

763
00:41:45,860 --> 00:41:46,960
Mr. Barnes, I must warn you.

764
00:41:47,860 --> 00:41:50,860
Refusal to answer may place you in
danger of contempt.

765
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:53,980
I've said what I have to say.

766
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:55,960
I see.

767
00:41:56,910 --> 00:42:00,270
But you won't give this court a simple
yes or no about whether or not you did

768
00:42:00,270 --> 00:42:01,990
or did not pass that stop sign.

769
00:42:07,730 --> 00:42:08,730
No further questions.

770
00:42:09,470 --> 00:42:13,330
Mr. Barnes, I am going to refer a
transcript of this trial to the district

771
00:42:13,330 --> 00:42:16,230
attorney's office to determine whether a
charge of contempt should be placed

772
00:42:16,230 --> 00:42:17,670
against you. That's all. You may step
down.

773
00:42:18,870 --> 00:42:21,550
This court will now adjourn until 10
o'clock tomorrow morning.

774
00:42:39,310 --> 00:42:40,650
It isn't George Peabody.

775
00:42:40,890 --> 00:42:41,890
Hiya, Penny.

776
00:42:42,110 --> 00:42:43,330
I didn't expect you tonight.

777
00:42:43,810 --> 00:42:44,810
Why not?

778
00:42:45,810 --> 00:42:48,070
I didn't even talk to you after the way
you acted.

779
00:42:48,530 --> 00:42:49,610
After the way I acted?

780
00:42:49,970 --> 00:42:50,970
Boy, that's a laugh.

781
00:42:51,130 --> 00:42:52,330
You stood me up, didn't you?

782
00:42:52,710 --> 00:42:53,709
Who, me?

783
00:42:53,710 --> 00:42:55,890
I was there all right. No, you weren't.

784
00:42:56,450 --> 00:42:57,450
Well, yes, I was.

785
00:42:57,830 --> 00:42:59,330
But I figured you didn't want me around.

786
00:43:00,210 --> 00:43:01,470
What you're talking about?

787
00:43:03,130 --> 00:43:04,630
Well, I showed up just like I said.

788
00:43:05,530 --> 00:43:07,350
When I saw you on the corner with
Freddie Drew.

789
00:43:09,799 --> 00:43:13,640
Freddy? George, that was just like a
coincidence. I mean, he was just passing

790
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:15,720
by. He seemed pretty friendly to me.

791
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,320
Listen, I dig Freddy the least. You know
that.

792
00:43:19,300 --> 00:43:22,300
Anyway, you shouldn't have walked away.
There was a real crazy accident on that

793
00:43:22,300 --> 00:43:23,300
corner.

794
00:43:23,340 --> 00:43:24,340
I know.

795
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:25,540
I'm a witness at the trial.

796
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:26,760
No kidding.

797
00:43:26,860 --> 00:43:29,440
The guy who was driving the car is
acting like his own lawyer.

798
00:43:29,740 --> 00:43:30,940
Did you ever hear anything so square?

799
00:43:31,420 --> 00:43:34,120
Only he'll probably go to jail on
account he went right through this stop

800
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:35,620
sign. No, he didn't.

801
00:43:35,940 --> 00:43:37,720
Oh, yes, he did. Everybody saw that.

802
00:43:38,230 --> 00:43:40,790
He went right through the stop sign and
then the motorcycle hit him.

803
00:43:41,070 --> 00:43:42,530
He didn't go through the stop sign.

804
00:43:42,790 --> 00:43:44,010
He stopped the car first.

805
00:43:46,230 --> 00:43:47,890
You mean you really saw it?

806
00:43:48,310 --> 00:43:52,930
Sure. It was a cream-colored sports car.
He stopped at the sign and then crossed

807
00:43:52,930 --> 00:43:53,609
the road.

808
00:43:53,610 --> 00:43:55,610
This nutty motorcycle ran right into
him.

809
00:43:56,150 --> 00:43:59,050
Well, gee, why didn't you go to the
police when they were asking for

810
00:43:59,050 --> 00:44:02,810
witnesses? Nobody asked me. Come on,
let's twist. Now, wait a minute, George.

811
00:44:03,730 --> 00:44:05,950
I mean, if you really saw it...

812
00:44:06,300 --> 00:44:08,160
Well, that means that everybody was
wrong.

813
00:44:08,660 --> 00:44:11,320
Sure they were wrong. They just weren't
looking. Well, you ought to tell

814
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:15,880
somebody. I mean, the poor swab's going
to jail, and he's kind of cute, too.

815
00:44:16,300 --> 00:44:18,420
Come on, let's go call him. No, no, not
me.

816
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:20,780
But you've got to, George. It's only
right.

817
00:44:21,340 --> 00:44:22,700
I don't want to get mixed up in it.

818
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:25,380
All right, then don't.

819
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:27,860
But I bet Freddie Drew wouldn't act like
that.

820
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,800
Well, I don't care if it means that much
to you.

821
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,400
Oh, boy, I bet your name will be in all
the papers.

822
00:44:44,780 --> 00:44:45,780
The jury's coming back.

823
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,200
Will the foreman of the jury please
rise?

824
00:45:02,380 --> 00:45:04,740
Has the jury reached its verdict?

825
00:45:05,100 --> 00:45:06,300
Yes, we have.

826
00:45:07,140 --> 00:45:13,740
Do you find the accused, Michael Barnes,
guilty or not guilty?

827
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:15,640
Not guilty.

828
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:23,280
You're a lucky man, Mike. You don't know
how close you came to conviction.

829
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,940
The only time you could have seen that
new son of yours would have been on

830
00:45:25,940 --> 00:45:26,940
visit today in the pen.

831
00:45:27,380 --> 00:45:30,760
See, the nurse said he should be right
around here. Of course, you still might

832
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:32,740
end up there if that contempt charge
holds.

833
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:34,480
You don't mean that.

834
00:45:35,240 --> 00:45:37,860
I've been trying to tell you. A friend
of mine in the DA's office tipped me

835
00:45:37,860 --> 00:45:38,880
off. There won't be any charge.

836
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:40,600
That's swell, Terry. That's swell.

837
00:45:43,820 --> 00:45:44,558
Of course.

838
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,840
If it hadn't been for George Peabody, I
wouldn't have given a nickel to your

839
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:49,860
chances. It did look pretty bad, didn't
it? Name, please.

840
00:45:50,340 --> 00:45:51,780
Barnes. Michael Barnes.

841
00:45:52,340 --> 00:45:54,240
That's my name. We haven't named the
baby yet.

842
00:45:57,620 --> 00:45:59,240
I still don't understand you, though.

843
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:01,240
Why couldn't you answer the question?

844
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:03,220
Why did you take the Fifth Amendment?

845
00:46:04,300 --> 00:46:05,300
I'll tell you why, Jerry.

846
00:46:05,900 --> 00:46:07,580
Because I didn't want to commit perjury.

847
00:46:08,240 --> 00:46:11,100
Perjury? Well, you said you were telling
the truth. I was.

848
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:15,100
But if I'd had to testify under oath
about that day, I'd have had to commit

849
00:46:15,100 --> 00:46:18,580
perjury. There was just no other way.
You're still not making any sense, Papa.

850
00:46:18,780 --> 00:46:20,140
Why couldn't you testify?

851
00:46:21,580 --> 00:46:22,580
Look, you know Stella.

852
00:46:22,720 --> 00:46:25,660
You know how truthful she is. What's
Stella got to do with it? Stella was

853
00:46:25,660 --> 00:46:26,660
sick.

854
00:46:27,180 --> 00:46:30,280
Jerry, you were quite right about those
eyewitnesses. You couldn't have been

855
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:31,280
more right.

856
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,320
None of them really saw the accident.

857
00:46:35,180 --> 00:46:37,260
In fact, they didn't even see who was
driving.

858
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:39,880
You see?

859
00:46:40,650 --> 00:46:47,590
I wasn't in that car at all it was
Stella who had the accident

860
00:47:09,710 --> 00:47:12,510
There is sad news about my new key club.

861
00:47:12,770 --> 00:47:16,270
It has become even more exclusive than
we planned.

862
00:47:16,910 --> 00:47:19,470
The sheriff is now our only member.

863
00:47:20,070 --> 00:47:21,810
We've been padlocked.

864
00:47:22,150 --> 00:47:27,190
I shall be back next week with another
drama, scenes of which will appear in

865
00:47:27,190 --> 00:47:28,430
just a moment.
