:27:00
-Bring your things across soon as you can.
-Right.
:27:14
Come in.
:27:23
-Yes?
-If you are not too busy, sir...
:27:25
...might I trouble you for a few words
in private conversation?
:27:28
No trouble at all, Ong.
:27:31
The matter upon which I desire
to speak to you...
:27:34
...is very delicate and confidential.
:27:38
Well, what matter is it?
:27:41
It has to do with the case
of The Crown v. Crosbie.
:27:46
Yes?
:27:48
A circumstance has come
to my attention, sir...
:27:51
...which seems to put a different
complexion on the case.
:27:54
Please come to the point, Ong.
What circumstance do you refer to?
:27:57
A friend has brought me information, sir,
that there is in existence a letter...
:28:03
...from the defendant
to the unfortunate victim of the tragedy.
:28:08
That's not surprising.
:28:10
During the course of seven years...
:28:12
...I've no doubt Mrs. Crosbie
often had occasion to write to him.
:28:15
But the letter, sir, was written on the day
of the late Mr. Hammond's death.
:28:23
Well?
:28:25
You will, no doubt, recall, sir,
that Mrs. Crosbie has stated...
:28:29
...that until the fatal night, she'd had
no communication with the deceased...
:28:33
...for several weeks.
:28:37
Yes?
:28:39
In my opinion, this letter indicates
that her statement, perhaps...
:28:44
...was not in every respect accurate.
:28:51
Have you seen the letter?
:28:53
I have with me a copy, sir.
:28:58
The original is in possession of a woman.
