chromer

4
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:05,320
wish voluntarily to state that on the

5
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:08,280
afternoon of Monday 12th of March 1888

6
00:01:05,320 --> 00:01:11,000
at Park Lodge Q green I murdered one

7
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,640
Josiah peral photographic assistant in

8
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,280
my husband's

9
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,720
employment I added potassium cyanide to

10
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,640
a decanter of why knowing that he was

11
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,880
likely to drink from it and be fatally

12
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,799
poisoned my reason for committing this

13
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:26,840
act was that for a period of several

14
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:29,920
months Josiah P had subjected me to

15
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:31,960
Blackmail in the summer of 1882 I was

16
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,399
was 20 years of age living at my family

literary and artistic

20
00:01:39,159 --> 00:01:43,799
Society one day I injudiciously agreed

21
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:46,439
to take part with two friends in some

22
00:01:43,799 --> 00:01:46,439
photographic

23
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,439

24
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,159
arrangement was dartha davant a leading

25
00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:55,320
member of the

26
00:01:53,159 --> 00:01:56,640
society we had been advised that the

27
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,479
photographs were to be used for a

28
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:01,960
painting to be exhibited at the Royal

29
00:01:58,479 --> 00:02:04,159
Academy this was not the truth we were

30
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:08,000
asked to adopt various Grecian style

31
00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:12,040
poses for which we wore dous

32
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,920
clothing 3 years later in September 1885

33
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:18,440
I married and left hamster to live in

34
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:20,160
Q my husband Mr Howard chromer was the

35
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:23,360
proprietor of a reputable photography

36
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:26,920
studio at Park Lodge Q Green in his

37
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,920
employment was Mr Josiah

38
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:32,120
peral I was filling the decanter when Mr

39
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,959
peral surprised me by stating he had a

40
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,640
matter of business to discuss with me he

41
00:02:34,959 --> 00:02:38,200
produced one of the photographs taken in

42
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:40,720
Highgate some years

43
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,239
before one of the unclad figures was

44
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:45,239
unmistakably

45
00:02:42,239 --> 00:02:47,480
myself he bought it at a notorious shop

46
00:02:45,239 --> 00:02:50,239
in Hollywood Street and was now offering

47
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,239
to sell it to me for

48
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:58,760
£10 I realized that I would have to pay

49
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:01,400
him I couldn't confide in my

50
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:04,920
husband I had to go to a porn broker to

51
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:07,120
pledge some jewelry the next day I paid

52
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:09,599
peral before handing me the photograph

53
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:12,080
he made a number of offensive remarks

54
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:14,519
he'd been drinking my husband's madira

55
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:17,239
when at last he handed me the photograph

56
00:03:14,519 --> 00:03:18,560
I burned it I knew it was possible that

57
00:03:17,239 --> 00:03:20,400
he had other photographs in his

58
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:23,360
possession and my fears were confirmed a

59
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,879
month later he told me that he intended

60
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,080
to buy the original plates from which

61
00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:30,599
the photographs were printed then he

62
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:32,280
asked me to Advance him the sum of £150

63
00:03:30,599 --> 00:03:34,799
I knew he would be able to persecute me

64
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,799
for as long as he wanted we had a large

65
00:03:34,799 --> 00:03:38,360
number of distinguished clients people

66
00:03:36,799 --> 00:03:40,640
who would be outraged if they knew that

67
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:43,200
I had posed for pictures of that

68
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,720
kind I devised a plan to administer

69
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:49,120
potassium cyanide to Mr peral in such a

70
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,120
way that his death would be taken for

71
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:55,079
suicide please continue potassium

72
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,040
cyanide you see is one of the chemicals

73
00:03:55,079 --> 00:04:00,159
occasionally used in the developing of

74
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:02,040
photographs on Monday 12th of March my

75
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:03,560
husband left for Brighton where as Vice

76
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,040
chairman he was to attend a Convention

77
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:08,439
of the portrait photographers League we

78
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,840
had no sittings that day and Mr peral

79
00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:13,439
was working alone in the

80
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:16,120
studio the weekly order of wine arrives

81
00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:18,720
at noon on Mondays on its arrival I took

82
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:21,359
the bottles to the studio and filled the

83
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,520
decanters Mr peral went out for lunch

84
00:04:21,359 --> 00:04:26,440
soon

85
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,960
afterwards I unlocked the poison cabinet

86
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,720
and poured about a third of a bottle of

87
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:32,080
potassium cyanide into a decanter of

88
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,759
madira knowing that Mr peral would help

89
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,639
himself liberally to the contents during

90
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:36,960
the

91
00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:40,039
afternoon I replaced the cyanide bottle

92
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,800
in the poison cabinet and locked it the

93
00:04:40,039 --> 00:04:43,840
action of cyanide my husband had often

94
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:47,280
impressed on me was practically

95
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:49,160
instantaneous and quite fatal I left the

96
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:51,400
house confident that I would find peral

97
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,360
dead on my return I would then create

98
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,240
the appearance of suicide placing the

99
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,240
cide bottle beside the wine glass and

100
00:04:55,240 --> 00:05:00,080
emptying the contents of the decanter

101
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:02,720
refilling it with fresh madira

102
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:05,039
my plans went irretrievably wrong he did

103
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,919
not die at once two servants found him

104
00:05:05,039 --> 00:05:07,919
in

105
00:05:05,919 --> 00:05:10,440
convulsions when the doctor was called

106
00:05:07,919 --> 00:05:13,199
he diagnosed cyanide poisoning and asked

107
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:15,160
me where the poison was kept I unlocked

108
00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:16,360
the cabinet and showed him the bottle of

109
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,600
potassium

110
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,639
cyanide I pretended to have no knowledge

111
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:23,240
of the events leading to Mr peral's

112
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:25,759
death but I now confess that I murdered

113
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,759

meeting you but I understand that my

place of honor in your exhibition

137
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,680
transacted business with you on a number

138
00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:39,520
of

139
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,919
occasions you will have read in the

140
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:45,080

00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:54,759
celebrated Trials of this

visiting London in connection with this

147
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,479
case it would seem likely that after the

148
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,960
the due enactment of the law you will

149
00:07:01,479 --> 00:07:04,720
exhibit a model in wax of the

154
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,960
of executioner to take possession of the

155
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,800

157
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,960

the purchase by two swords of the

159
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,280

351
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,720

400
00:20:10,039 --> 00:20:14,200
when I heard from the analyst two days

401

later that the Madera in the decanto was

402
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,520
laced with s i by transform my opinion

403
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,039
if person have poison himself he

404
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,760

405
00:20:20,039 --> 00:20:25,159
it straight in the wine glass now I had

406
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,679
a case of murder on hands and the

407
00:20:25,159 --> 00:20:29,200
murderer had to be a member of the

408
00:20:26,679 --> 00:20:30,559
household at par so I asked them to make

409
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,600
themselves available for

410
00:20:30,559 --> 00:20:34,440
questioning I'll realize later I

411
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,280
shouldn't have warned them I was coming

412
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:39,240
why was somebody missing I know they

413
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,919

00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,960
couldn't fathom was what peral had on

438
00:21:34,279 --> 00:21:39,000
her vulger pictures never cross me mind

439
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:41,840

your opinion is Mrs CR I thought it was

443
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,080
statistics you came to ask me about oh

444
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:55,120

good thinking comfortable you'll go

448
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:06,360
far as a good man that reminds me of

449
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:10,360
himself at his

450
00:22:06,360 --> 00:22:12,960
age bright as a button I was I took a

451
00:22:10,360 --> 00:22:15,559
sharp mind to invent the Chon pocket

452
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:19,000
sewn into the uniform that's what clinks

453
00:22:15,559 --> 00:22:24,120

it was all done in Cold Blood there's no

456
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:30,159
doubt about that but if you were to ask

457
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:32,799
me what sets her apart from other women

458
00:22:30,159 --> 00:22:34,600
is the absence of pity she's so damn

459
00:22:32,799 --> 00:22:37,679
self-possessed

460
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:40,279
and I wouldn't mind bidding but even now

461
00:22:37,679 --> 00:22:42,720
she isn't wasting a thought on person

462
00:22:40,279 --> 00:22:45,480
how do you think she confessed I don't

463
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:48,720

464
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:50,919

465
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:53,640

prison officers hanging on every word

483
00:23:32,799 --> 00:23:36,400
I'm sorry for the inconvenience but it

484
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,840
is the usual arrangement I was even

485
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,279
prevented from Shar her certain

486
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,000
documents what documents a copy of the

487
00:23:40,279 --> 00:23:43,679
petition sent to the Home Secretary and

488
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,559

490
00:23:45,559 --> 00:23:50,559
newspapers Mr allingham Governor this is

491
00:23:48,159 --> 00:23:52,960
a woman under sentence of death she

492
00:23:50,559 --> 00:23:54,640
needs to know what is being done you may

493
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,760
expect some improvement in the visiting

494
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,440
Arrangements in due course but in the

495
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,520
meantime she tells me that the light is

496
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,279
left on in her cell all night I have

497
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,039
suggested to her that she places a

498
00:24:02,279 --> 00:24:07,320
handkerchief over her eyes when she

499
00:24:04,039 --> 00:24:09,360
wishes to sleep believe me Mr allingham

500
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:12,440
I have no wish to cause Mrs croma undue

501
00:24:09,360 --> 00:24:14,520
suffering but the regulations are

502
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,400
specific if you could persuade her to

503
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,840
speak to the chaplain you would be doing

504
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:21,200
her a great service but that would be

505
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:23,080
like telling her we're abandoning Hope

506
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:26,360
on the contrary you would be offering

507
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:28,559
her hope of redemption our hope is for

508
00:24:26,360 --> 00:24:30,440
reprieve then you are doing her no

509
00:24:28,559 --> 00:24:32,720
service

510
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:36,360
whatsoever she will not

511
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:38,080
die they would not dare hang her I have

512
00:24:36,360 --> 00:24:40,320
received no indication to the contrary

513
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,320

continue to practice it

592
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:03,159
I've come a long way in

593
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:05,799
photography when I first began in the

594
00:28:03,159 --> 00:28:08,640
60s every gentleman insisted upon being

595
00:28:05,799 --> 00:28:11,440
posed leaning against a cardboard column

596
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:13,600
top hat in hand and one leg crossed over

597
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,600

only this is my reward this studio

601
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:27,760
represents many years of tiresome work

602
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,120
photographing vicious little boys in

603
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:32,000
Sailor

604
00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:33,519
suits at one time I worked from a wooden

605
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,880
shed on the prominade at Worthing but

606
00:28:33,519 --> 00:28:38,399
that is in confidence

607
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:40,720
Sergeant was jiah peral your first

608
00:28:38,399 --> 00:28:42,559
assistant sir yes the First with any

609
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,399
photographic knowledge I took him on

610
00:28:42,559 --> 00:28:46,480
soon after I moved here was the worst

611
00:28:44,399 --> 00:28:49,279
mistake of my life the man was

612
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:52,440
a the man was a

613
00:28:49,279 --> 00:28:54,679
Viper and I failed to see it oh as an

614
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:57,039
assistant he was conscientious enough

615
00:28:54,679 --> 00:28:59,600
but an upstart I knew that he helped

616
00:28:57,039 --> 00:29:02,120
himself to my madira for instance but

617
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:05,919
had I the smallest suspicion

618
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:08,399
that that poor girl she said not one

619
00:29:05,919 --> 00:29:11,320
word about him sergeant not one word why

620
00:29:08,399 --> 00:29:13,600
was that sir I've asked myself that

621
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:16,120
repeatedly those words in her confession

622
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:19,440
to confide in my husband was no solution

623
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:21,279
my own wife could not turn to me in her

624
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,640
torment there are secrets in most

625
00:29:21,279 --> 00:29:24,880
married

626
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,320
yourself were there misunderstandings

627
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:29,000
between you

628
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:31,120
understandings nothing of any

629
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,840
consequence it would be fair to say that

630
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,559
during the first six months she found it

631
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:39,039
difficult to adjust to the marriage

632
00:29:34,559 --> 00:29:40,799
bonds my fault mine entirely after I

633
00:29:39,039 --> 00:29:44,559
married I wanted Miriam to

634
00:29:40,799 --> 00:29:48,159
myself merely to see her in my own house

635
00:29:44,559 --> 00:29:50,000
to talk to her to photograph her was all

636
00:29:48,159 --> 00:29:51,679
that I desired I failed to appreciate

637
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,840
that when I was working she might become

638
00:29:51,679 --> 00:29:57,360
bored you gave up your former friends

639
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:58,320
after your marriage yes yes all except

640
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,840
Simon

641
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:04,559
allingham to be candid I was worried

642
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:06,960
Miriam might weary of me and find the

643
00:30:04,559 --> 00:30:08,640
younger people more amusing I'm a

644
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:11,720
jealous and possessive man and that's

645
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:14,519
the truth that you trusted your

646
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:16,559
wife she was an innocent

647
00:30:14,519 --> 00:30:21,960
child nothing that has happened has

648
00:30:16,559 --> 00:30:21,960
changed my devotion to her to lose her

649
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,799
would is there a chance do you think I

650
00:30:26,399 --> 00:30:29,679

it this is about that woman in Q I

883
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:54,160
suppose that creature who poisoned a man

884
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:56,880
it was all in the times lies lies mom

885
00:42:54,160 --> 00:43:00,559
that vile confession a concoction of

886
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:03,000
wicked lies mentioning my society and my

887
00:43:00,559 --> 00:43:04,440
name in such a connection one would

888
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,319
think from the times that the society

889
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:09,440
existed for no other purpose than the

890
00:43:06,319 --> 00:43:11,119
debauching of innocent girls I shall Sue

891
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:13,760
naturally

892
00:43:11,119 --> 00:43:17,240
next do you recollect Mrs Miriam Cromer

893
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:19,680
as a member of the society mom I do not

894
00:43:17,240 --> 00:43:21,160
she was only 20 then known by a maiden

895
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:23,280
name of

896
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:25,480
kill I have a photograph over which

897
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:28,079
might assist your memory my memory needs

898
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:30,640
no assistance

899
00:43:28,079 --> 00:43:32,440
next she refers in her confession to two

900
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:34,559
friends perhaps should remember three

901
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:36,599
girls about the same age we had a

902
00:43:34,559 --> 00:43:41,200
membership of over 80 in the first year

903
00:43:36,599 --> 00:43:45,119
Sergeant next ah how was the society

904
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:48,160
for in April 1881 the month dear dizzy

905
00:43:45,119 --> 00:43:50,520
passed over now there was a prime

906
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:52,400
minister Not only was he a gentleman and

907
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:54,400
a Statesman second to none but a

908
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:57,319
literary man

909
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:58,960
next I was reliably informed the society

910
00:43:57,319 --> 00:44:02,640
existed entirely through your

911
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:05,000
inspiration an unflagging Enterprise m

912
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:07,520
one tries to occupy oneself usefully

913
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:09,720
Sergeant my membership list was a

914
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:13,040
testimony to the reputation of the

915
00:44:09,720 --> 00:44:14,920
society ah next you happen to have that

916
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,960
lisma

917
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:19,640
destroyed when the society came to an

918
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:22,040
end I put everything to the flame

919
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:24,520
everything I was extremely provoked as

920
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:26,559
you may imagine certain people had

921
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:29,200
accused me of self AGR

922
00:44:26,559 --> 00:44:32,160
Sergeant naturally I resigned my

923
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:34,000
position hiate was deprived of culture

924
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:36,880
by the vitriolic remarks of a click of

925
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:38,720
jealous incompetence Headmaster ma'am

926
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,319
there seems to be something here have

927
00:44:38,720 --> 00:44:43,319
the doctor look at it will

928
00:44:40,319 --> 00:44:43,319
you

929
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:49,480
ma'am very sad that a fine Society like

930
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,880
that should disappear overnight memories

931
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,680
apart there's nothing to prove that it

932
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,680
ever

933
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:56,720
existed not a

934
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,640
thing if

935
00:44:56,720 --> 00:44:59,960
pardon me Mrs davner but if this

936
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:02,599
gentleman is looking for proof of the

937
00:44:59,960 --> 00:45:05,920
society's existence I have it in my

938
00:45:02,599 --> 00:45:08,070
study I was myself a loyal attender for

939
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:11,440
3 years if you

940
00:45:08,070 --> 00:45:13,400
[Music]

941
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:15,480
remember when we made our little

942
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:17,319
pilgrimage to Hamstead one afternoon to

943
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:19,720
see the actual seat where poor John

944
00:45:17,319 --> 00:45:22,520
Keats was accustomed to rest before he

945
00:45:19,720 --> 00:45:24,800
died some of us formed up for a

946
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:27,880
photograph if this picture is any

947
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,880
interest to you sir

948
00:45:28,359 --> 00:45:33,599
unfortunately most of these people are

949
00:45:30,359 --> 00:45:36,119
strangers to me it occurs to me that in

950
00:45:33,599 --> 00:45:38,480
group portraits the names are sometimes

951
00:45:36,119 --> 00:45:39,599
written on the reverse I wonder where

952
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,800
I'm afraid there's nothing on the

953
00:45:39,599 --> 00:45:45,720
reverse of

954
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:45,720
this uh see for

955
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,800
yourself you don't

956
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,880

Monday morning a murderess is a

995
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:16,440
particular attraction it's just a job to

996

me Mr TW sword I make no distinction man

997
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:20,520
or

998
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:22,119
woman except in calculating the drop

999
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:24,400
there is a lot of Sympathy For Mrs

1000
00:48:22,119 --> 00:48:26,760
croman the newspapers are full of

1001
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:28,640
correspondents about the Cent

1002
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:31,599
but she'll not suffer at my

1003
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:33,839
hands it's all scientific now you know

1004
00:48:31,599 --> 00:48:36,079
we give him a long drop it's very quick

1005
00:48:33,839 --> 00:48:38,599
there's no bungling yes quite well now

1006
00:48:36,079 --> 00:48:40,960
Mr belly with regard to our present

1007
00:48:38,599 --> 00:48:43,400
business we thought if we could begin

1008
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:47,000
the sitting for your own likeness this

1009
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:49,440
afternoon there is the matter of the fee

1010
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:52,599
those who appear in the chamber are not

1011
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:54,960
usually compensated for the honor Mr per

1012
00:48:52,599 --> 00:48:56,480
most of them are dead except of course

1013
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:59,359
yourself

1014
00:48:56,480 --> 00:49:02,960
we thought perhaps the sum of

1015
00:48:59,359 --> 00:49:05,200
£00 I think that would be most

1016
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,760
satisfactory you know my wife asked me

1017
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:08,960
to bring her a spare copy of the model

1018
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:10,520
when you'd done it she said she wanted

1019
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,440
to keep it in the front room under a

1020
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,480
glass

1021
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:16,119
dome but I told her I'd get some

1022
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:18,359
photographs taken while I was down here

1023
00:49:16,119 --> 00:49:20,760
she'll have to be content with that eh

1024
00:49:18,359 --> 00:49:24,000
had you chosen a photographer I thought

1025
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:26,160
I might go to chroma's Studio chroma the

1026
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:30,520
husband of the lady in question he's

1027
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:33,240
still in business ah how quaint you like

1028
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:35,119
to get close to your subject I like to

1029
00:49:33,240 --> 00:49:36,480
say sometimes that I stood in the place

1030
00:49:35,119 --> 00:49:38,720
where it actually

1031
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:41,640
happened it makes a story to tell your

1032
00:49:38,720 --> 00:49:43,359
grandchildren indeed and you can bring

1033
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:46,079
them down here to see you when the model

1034
00:49:43,359 --> 00:49:48,040
is done you'll find you'll become quite

1035
00:49:46,079 --> 00:49:51,359
a figure of

1036
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:53,720
veneration do you know Mr Berry

1037
00:49:51,359 --> 00:49:58,160
sometimes when we're cleaning the models

1038
00:49:53,720 --> 00:49:59,760
in this chamber we find handkerchiefs

1039
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:04,319
pushed in the

1040
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:06,200
pockets ladies handkerchiefs lace edged

1041
00:50:04,319 --> 00:50:10,559
and still smelling of

1042
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:10,559
perfume people are strange eh Mr

1043
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:17,400
tord you say there were these three

1044
00:50:15,119 --> 00:50:19,640
young ladies crib Miriam Kil Patrick

1045
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:22,280
Judith anut and Miss C Piper no

1046
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:23,760
Christian named constant Carol Charlotte

1047
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:25,880
and you believe they were the three who

1048
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:27,359
were tricked into posing for impr proper

1049
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:29,559
photograph the confession mentioned

1050
00:50:27,359 --> 00:50:32,040
Frieza so you went in search of Judith

1051
00:50:29,559 --> 00:50:34,079
Honeycut and you found she was dead from

1052
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:35,640
cyanide poisoning I was interested in

1053
00:50:34,079 --> 00:50:38,200
the photographer Mr Duke Kain who

1054
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:40,839
employed Miss anikat damn it GB our job

1055
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:42,400
is to inquire into peral's death and

1056
00:50:40,839 --> 00:50:43,680
there's not much time I went to West

1057
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:45,480
Hamstead Sir with the intention of

1058
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:47,799
calling on Mr duain but he no longer

1059
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:50,400
lives there in fact Mr duain seems to

1060
00:50:47,799 --> 00:50:52,480
have vanished without trace my theory is

1061
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:54,839
that after Julian Duan left Hamstead he

1062
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:57,559
started up as a photographer in q but

1063
00:50:54,839 --> 00:50:59,520
not as Julian duain you mean as our

1064
00:50:57,559 --> 00:51:01,720
chroma when I first interviewed our

1065
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:03,319
chroma he went to no end of trouble to

1066
00:51:01,720 --> 00:51:04,440
cooperate I couldn't get a straight

1067
00:51:03,319 --> 00:51:06,280
answer about the time he left for

1068
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,880
Brighton except he left sometime early

1069
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:10,160
in the morning he was not expected there

1070
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:11,960
till half 2 when he showed me the

1071
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:13,760
photograph album he tried to give the

1072
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:16,680
impression that he first met Miriam the

1073
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:19,079
day her family came to the studio at Q

1074
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:21,480
for a group portrait that was in April

1075
00:51:19,079 --> 00:51:22,960
1885 I believe he knew her 3 years

1076
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:24,599
earlier than that what ground do you

1077
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:26,599
have for saying that I was suspicious of

1078
00:51:24,599 --> 00:51:28,240
the album itself sir a photograph of

1079
00:51:26,599 --> 00:51:29,880
their wedding 2 and a half years before

1080
00:51:28,240 --> 00:51:31,280
was stuck together which implied that it

1081
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:33,400
hadn't been looked at since it was put

1082
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:35,440
in unless it had been recently pasted

1083
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:36,960
into the album that set me thinking that

1084
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:39,040
he might have put the entire album

1085
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:41,520
together to illustrate his story that's

1086
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:43,040
a lot to deduce from a spot of glue

1087
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:45,200
Sergeant well that isn't the only thing

1088
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:46,760
sir the photograph the Headmaster showed

1089
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:48,599
me showed the three girls together and

1090
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:50,520
beside them Simon allingham chroma's

1091
00:51:48,599 --> 00:51:52,960
oldest friend now if allingham was known

1092
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:54,480
to Miriam in the summer of 1882 it's

1093
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:57,319
feasible that she was also acquainted

1094
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:59,640
with chroma that won't do Sergeant you

1095
00:51:57,319 --> 00:52:03,480
know what you're guilty of post Hawk

1096
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:06,200
Ergo propter Hawk pardon do you not have

1097
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:08,920
Latin well it doesn't matter it means

1098
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:11,480
that your reasoning is founded upon a

1099
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:13,960
fallacy you've persuaded yourself that

1100
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:16,160
chromer is not what he purports to be so

1101
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:17,920
you're fitting the facts to justify your

1102
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:20,119
Prejudice it's possible that he was

1103
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:21,680
involved in peral's death sir if he was

1104
00:52:20,119 --> 00:52:23,319
in queue that morning he could have put

1105
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:25,640
the poison in the decanter as easily as

1106
00:52:23,319 --> 00:52:29,400
his wife could more important he a key

1107
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:29,400
to the poison cabinet and she

1108
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:35,640
didn't Sergeant I cannot emphasize too

1109
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:37,920
forcibly that if there is anything in

1110
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:40,280
this at all it will not convince the

1111
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:42,280
Home Secretary without solid evidence to

1112
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:44,480
support it where is that evidence to

1113
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:46,040

satisfied well he should have been but

1167
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:05,000

Lord Knows Why Miriam took such a

1254
00:59:09,119 --> 00:59:14,000
serious stand on the matter actually

1255
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:17,599

little hole buzzing with conversation

1260
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:29,039

1261
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:32,119
experienced anything so exotic how did

1262
00:59:29,039 --> 00:59:35,079
the business of the photographs arise H

1263
00:59:32,119 --> 00:59:37,440
well one of the society's Founders was a

1264
00:59:35,079 --> 00:59:38,839
personal friend of Sir Frederick Leon

1265
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:41,039
she happened to know that the great

1266
00:59:38,839 --> 00:59:43,520
artist was interested in finding a

1267
00:59:41,039 --> 00:59:46,319
number of elegantly proportioned young

1268
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:49,000
ladies to pose for a canvas on a

1269
00:59:46,319 --> 00:59:50,440
classical theme we were told an

1270
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:52,319
assistant of Leon would make the

1271
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:54,280
preliminary study the following

1272
00:59:52,319 --> 00:59:55,680
afternoon we presented ourselves at the

1273
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:58,240
studio

1274
00:59:55,680 --> 01:00:01,640
to discover that the assistant was not a

1275
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:04,119
painter at to but a photographer called

1276
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:07,079
Julian Duan needless to say Sir

1277
01:00:04,119 --> 01:00:09,079
Frederick Leighton knew nothing about it

1278
01:00:07,079 --> 01:00:11,359

1293
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:49,200
was rather relieved that the picture

1294
01:00:46,839 --> 01:00:50,640
didn't appear at the Royal Academy it

1295
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:53,400
never occurred to me they'd be put to

1296
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:55,240
any other purpose we were deeply

1297
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:58,280
interested in the the impression our

1298
01:00:55,240 --> 01:01:00,599
bodies made on Julian duain each one of

1299
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:03,039
us imagined him becoming intoxicated

1300
01:01:00,599 --> 01:01:05,440
with her charms went back there were

1301
01:01:03,039 --> 01:01:07,359
more sitting oh we pursued him he was

1302
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:09,520
the Lost poor man he tried to solve the

1303
01:01:07,359 --> 01:01:11,760
problem by introducing us to his friends

1304
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:14,440
it nearly worked Simon was smitten with

1305
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:15,680
Mir Simon allingham yes but Julian was

1306
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:18,280
the prize she

1307
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:20,680
wanted we were the Three Graces in a

1308
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:22,720
modern Judgment of Paris Sergeant each

1309
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:27,440
one of us wanted to

1310
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:29,799
win over is Miss Piper thank

1311
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:31,960
you and while Judith succeeded in

1312
01:01:29,799 --> 01:01:34,000
installing herself as Julian's assistant

1313
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:38,039
Miriam was left at home

1314
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:41,359
fretting crying no Sergeant give Miriam

1315
01:01:38,039 --> 01:01:43,799
credit for more style than that more

1316
01:01:41,359 --> 01:01:46,359
planning ah you mean while Judith was in

1317
01:01:43,799 --> 01:01:48,520
the dark room Miriam and Julian were out

1318
01:01:46,359 --> 01:01:52,079
with a camera and a picnic basket

1319
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:54,720
exactly so Judith was eclipsed you might

1320
01:01:52,079 --> 01:01:56,920
think so but not yet sometime later I

1321
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:59,760
met her in Hamstead High Street her face

1322
01:01:56,920 --> 01:02:03,400
was pink with excitement she told me she

1323
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:05,680
was engaged to be married to Julia no

1324
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:08,079
and that they intended to tell Miriam

1325
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:10,160
that very evening Judith was certain

1326
01:02:08,079 --> 01:02:11,599
that Miriam would share in their Joy I

1327
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:13,760
told her frankly Miriam would be

1328
01:02:11,599 --> 01:02:16,039
incensed that she was too single-minded

1329
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:18,039
to give up Judith laughed and said she

1330
01:02:16,039 --> 01:02:20,559
had no fear of losing Julian she said he

1331
01:02:18,039 --> 01:02:24,039
didn't see Miriam as a person at all but

1332
01:02:20,559 --> 01:02:24,920
a face a face to be photographed not to

1333
01:02:24,039 --> 01:02:27,760
be

1334
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:31,039
kissed I said that perhaps Julian saw

1335
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:32,760
all women with a photographer's eye she

1336
01:02:31,039 --> 01:02:36,240
laughed again and said she was sure he

1337
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:38,839
did not she was carrying the

1338
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:42,319
proof his

1339
01:02:38,839 --> 01:02:45,279
child tell me something lty how do you

1340
01:02:42,319 --> 01:02:46,799
account to yourself of Judith's

1341
01:02:45,279 --> 01:02:50,319
death

1342
01:02:46,799 --> 01:02:52,119
Sergeant I couldn't account for

1343
01:02:50,319 --> 01:02:55,279
it

1344
01:02:52,119 --> 01:02:57,599
lty do you believe that she took her own

1345
01:02:55,279 --> 01:03:00,319
life since I read in the papers what

1346
01:02:57,599 --> 01:03:04,200
happened in Q

1347
01:03:00,319 --> 01:03:04,200
no I think Judith was

1348
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:09,400
murdered not too close how are you

1349
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:11,799

missing the police want to question him

1351
01:03:11,799 --> 01:03:15,079
they found out he's left the house they

1352
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:17,400
think he's left the country they're

1353
01:03:15,079 --> 01:03:19,480
trying to find him yes and that means

1354
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:22,599
they want to charge him with something

1355
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:26,279

01:03:22,599 --> 01:03:26,279

beside me on our wedding night that he

1404
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:41,039
was responsible for her condition at the

1405
01:05:39,039 --> 01:05:42,520
time of her death she threatened a

1406
01:05:41,039 --> 01:05:44,079
scandal and as he married her in his

1407
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:48,359
mental anguish he decided there was only

1408
01:05:44,079 --> 01:05:51,640
one escape to do away with her oh mam

1409
01:05:48,359 --> 01:05:51,640

add anything to the statement she has

1472
01:08:32,199 --> 01:08:35,440
already volunteered naturally I was

01:08:35,440 --> 01:08:39,319
husband on Monday the 12th of March and

1475
01:08:37,359 --> 01:08:41,839
it transpires that he was not as we had

1476
01:08:39,319 --> 01:08:43,440
supposed in brighten that morning he was

1477
01:08:41,839 --> 01:08:46,719
in fact not expected to be there before

1478
01:08:43,440 --> 01:08:49,960
halfast 2 he could on the face of it of

1479
01:08:46,719 --> 01:08:51,600
do the decanter himself that is absurd

1480
01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:54,199
you can have no evidence to suggest that

1481
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:55,560
Mr chromer poisoned his own assistant

1482
01:08:54,199 --> 01:08:57,199
what possible reason could he have for

1483
01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:59,120
doing such a thing the reason that Mrs

1484
01:08:57,199 --> 01:09:02,080
Cromer gave you her confession she was

1485
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:04,920
being blackmailed her reputation and

1486
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:07,199
therefore that of her husband was a

1487
01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:09,319
stake the man who took those photographs

1488
01:09:07,199 --> 01:09:12,000
of you and your two friends was known as

1489
01:09:09,319 --> 01:09:14,640
Julian Duke

1490
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:17,400
Kan was he

1491
01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:19,440
not is this of any relevance you should

1492
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:20,679
know sir it was your best friend and

1493
01:09:19,440 --> 01:09:25,560
your husband

1494
01:09:20,679 --> 01:09:27,040
M I am right am I not

1495
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:29,040
unfortunately for you these photographs

1496
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:30,480
fell into the hands of Josiah pel who

1497
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:33,480
told you he acquired them in Hollywood

1498
01:09:30,480 --> 01:09:34,880
Street from my inquiries I suspect that

1499
01:09:33,480 --> 01:09:35,920
he mentioned that notorious place to

1500
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:38,279
frighten

1501
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:41,319
you you made a number of payments to

1502
01:09:38,279 --> 01:09:43,239
peral over a period of 4 months but you

1503
01:09:41,319 --> 01:09:46,600
did not speak to your husband about

1504
01:09:43,239 --> 01:09:49,000
it I am bound to wonder why she made the

1505
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:50,839
reason perfectly clear in the affidavit

1506
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:52,920
it could serve no practical purpose

1507
01:09:50,839 --> 01:09:54,800
except to extend the blackmail to Howard

1508
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:57,400
I am aware of that sir what I'm coming

1509
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:58,800
to Mom is it wasn't just the photographs

1510
01:09:57,400 --> 01:10:01,440
you thought would alarm your

1511
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:03,960
husband it was the connection with West

1512
01:10:01,440 --> 01:10:06,000
Hamstead and Judith Hut's death from

1513
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:09,159
cyanide

1514
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:11,360
poisoning there was an inquest Judith

1515
01:10:09,159 --> 01:10:13,520
committed suicide one thing was not made

1516
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:14,920
clear at that inquest the coroner was

1517
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:16,920
not informed that at the time of her

1518
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:19,880
death Judith hanika was engaged to be

1519
01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:21,920
married to Julian du K what how could

1520
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:26,840
you possibly know that because she told

1521
01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:29,719
ly Piper lty lty has spoken to you

1522
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:31,120
yesterday lty never liked me she was

1523
01:10:29,719 --> 01:10:32,640
viciously jealous because Howard chose

1524
01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:34,800
me as his model I was the one he wanted

1525
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:38,520
not lty or Judith Judith is expecting a

1526
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:40,360
child and Howard poisoned her mum why

1527
01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:41,560
deny it now the girl was a [ __ ] worse

1528
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:43,480
than the ones on the streets because her

1529
01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:45,719
price included marriage I suggest you

1530
01:10:43,480 --> 01:10:48,679
say no more if I don't speak now I shall

1531
01:10:45,719 --> 01:10:50,480
be hanged Simon God knows I've kept

1532
01:10:48,679 --> 01:10:51,920
silent no one can accuse me of

1533
01:10:50,480 --> 01:10:53,880
disloyalty to my husband he has

1534
01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:55,120
condemned himself by running away his

1535
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:56,400
nightmare was that someone would

1536
01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:58,760
discover the real circumstances of

1537
01:10:56,400 --> 01:11:00,159
Judith's death when I told him P

1538
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:01,800
intended going to hamstad to try to

1539
01:11:00,159 --> 01:11:03,800
trace the plates of those photographs he

1540
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:04,840
was seized with Terror he was certain it

1541
01:11:03,800 --> 01:11:06,920
would raise questions that had never

1542
01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:08,520
been asked about Judith and himself he

1543
01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:12,159
believed his arrest for her murder would

1544
01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:13,400
be inevitable if he did not act so

1545
01:11:12,159 --> 01:11:15,840
instead of traveling to Brighton that

1546
01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:17,360
Monday morning he remained at Park Lodge

1547
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:19,800
and put poison in the

1548
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:22,960
decanter my husband killed Josiah persal

1549
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:25,560

me on the morning of 12th of March

1559
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:56,840
Howard chroma was with me in my my

1560
01:11:54,440 --> 01:11:59,120
Chambers he had come to consult me about

1561
01:11:56,840 --> 01:12:00,199
the blackmail which Miriam had confided

1562
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:03,560
to him at the

1563
01:12:00,199 --> 01:12:05,400
weekend I Clark will confirm no it isn't

1564
01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:07,000
true don't believe him they plotted this

1565
01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:08,360
between them can't you understand they

1566
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:10,360
made me confess so that Howard could

1567
01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:13,400
Escape they promised I be pardoned it

1568
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:15,120
promised that I believe Ma you expected

1569
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:17,400
to be

1570
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:19,719
pardoned but you should have heeded Mr

1571
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:21,000
allingham's advice and said nothing left

1572
01:12:19,719 --> 01:12:22,960
us to draw

1573
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:24,440
conclusions Mr allingham would not have

1574
01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:25,600
told us that you husband had an alibi

1575
01:12:24,440 --> 01:12:27,719
until you were

1576
01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:31,159
pardoned but youve now forced it from

1577
01:12:27,719 --> 01:12:34,360
him by accusing your husband of

1578
01:12:31,159 --> 01:12:36,920
murder you wanted too much out of this a

1579
01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:38,800
pardon and your husband's conviction the

1580
01:12:36,920 --> 01:12:41,840
charge of murder against Howard chromer

1581
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:44,199
would never stick Mr allingham knows

1582
01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:45,840
it the purpose of the plan was to raise

1583
01:12:44,199 --> 01:12:46,920
enough doubts in our minds to secure

1584
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:48,920
your

1585
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:50,920
release how could I have unlocked the

1586
01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:53,440
poison cabinet with no key use desire

1587
01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:54,400
peral's key I asked him for it did I and

1588
01:12:53,440 --> 01:12:55,800
he handed me the means of his

1589
01:12:54,400 --> 01:12:58,199
destruction that is in effect what

1590
01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:59,880
happened mom except that it wasn't the

1591
01:12:58,199 --> 01:13:01,679
poison cabinet you said you wanted to

1592
01:12:59,880 --> 01:13:03,639
unlock it was the shiffer where the

1593
01:13:01,679 --> 01:13:05,679
decanters were kept your husband was out

1594
01:13:03,639 --> 01:13:07,639
when the wine arrived so you borrowed

1595
01:13:05,679 --> 01:13:09,159
peral's key to unlock it an innocent

1596
01:13:07,639 --> 01:13:11,080
sounding request which he was unlikely

1597
01:13:09,159 --> 01:13:14,480
to refuse seeing that he was partial to

1598
01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:16,120
madira peral's keys were on a ring on

1599
01:13:14,480 --> 01:13:18,679
that ring was also the key to the poison

1600
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:20,520
cabinet I return the keys to him after

1601
01:13:18,679 --> 01:13:21,960
unlocking the Shian here without the key

1602
01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:23,760
to the poison cabinet which you had

1603
01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:25,080
slipped off the ring then how do you

1604
01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:26,280
explain that the key of the poison

1605
01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:28,600
cabinet was found on the key ring in

1606
01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:30,520
peral's Pocket after he was dead it

1607
01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:31,960
happened something like this when you

1608
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:35,280
returned to park lodge you found the

1609
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:36,520
doctor there and Peril dead you still

1610
01:13:35,280 --> 01:13:38,960
had the key in your possession when the

1611
01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:40,159
doctor asked to look in the cabinet you

1612
01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:43,520
were clever enough to tell him that the

1613
01:13:40,159 --> 01:13:45,360
keys were in P's pocket you removed them

1614
01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:47,520
and handed them to you to open the

1615
01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:49,360
cabinet you held them in your palm in

1616
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:51,400
such a way that the loose key appeared

1617
01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:52,360
to be attached to the ring as you turned

1618
01:13:51,400 --> 01:13:54,760
the

1619
01:13:52,360 --> 01:13:57,159
lock while the doctor was examining the

1620
01:13:54,760 --> 01:14:00,040
poison bottles you coverly reattached

1621
01:13:57,159 --> 01:14:01,360
the key to the ring the doctor himself

1622
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:04,320
returned the bunch to the Dead Man's

1623
01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:06,480
Pocket but it was found when the police

1624
01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:08,320
arrived I don't suggest you acted as you

1625
01:14:06,480 --> 01:14:10,040
did in order to incriminate your

1626
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:11,360
husband the time you were only

1627
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:12,639
interested in contriving the appearance

1628
01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:14,760
of a

1629
01:14:12,639 --> 01:14:17,480
suicide when that became

1630
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:19,560
impossible the other plan was worked

1631
01:14:17,480 --> 01:14:21,960
out a

1632
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:24,560
gamble had the strategy succeeded and

1633
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:25,840
had you received a pardon

1634
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:28,600
we couldn't even have brought a charge

1635
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:33,120
of perjury later not for one syllable of

1636
01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:33,120
that confession it was absolutely

1637
01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:39,480
true thank you

1638
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:39,480

no mam chroma needed something quite

1646
01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:16,920
remarkable to save her from The

1647
01:15:14,800 --> 01:15:18,639
Gallows I believe allingham and chroma

1648
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:20,360
set up the whole scheme with Howard on

1649
01:15:18,639 --> 01:15:22,320
the run like a guilty man we would have

1650
01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:23,719
to obtain an extradition order which

1651
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:25,639
meant we would have to arrange a pardon

1652
01:15:23,719 --> 01:15:27,679
for mam Cromer as soon as she was

1653
01:15:25,639 --> 01:15:29,000
pardoned Howard would surrender to the

1654
01:15:27,679 --> 01:15:30,800
police he would announce that he had an

1655
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:33,040
