1:40:02
...or insecticides?
- Yes.
1:40:03
- Any containing arsenic, for example?
- I don't know.
1:40:07
I show you a bottle here in evidence.
Do you recognize it?
1:40:09
Yes, it was mine.
It held bath salts.
1:40:12
- You aware of what it contains now?
- Yes.
1:40:14
By what chemical process do you
suppose bath salts turned into poison?
1:40:17
- I don't know.
- I show you a leather jacket in evidence.
1:40:20
- Recognize it?
- It's mine.
1:40:21
I show you an envelope in evidence.
Recognize it?
1:40:24
- It's the envelope containing sugar.
- Which the State chemist testified...
1:40:27
...was 60 percent arsenic.
- Yes.
1:40:29
Which the sheriff testified
was in the pocket of this jacket?
1:40:32
- Yes.
- Did you wear this jacket...
1:40:34
...on the day of the picnic?
- For a while.
1:40:36
- Then I gave it to Ellen.
- Why did you do that?
1:40:38
- She complained of feeling chilly.
- So you loaned her the jacket?
1:40:42
- Yes.
- Will you tell the jury who prepared...
1:40:44
...the food in the picnic hamper?
- Ellen and I.
1:40:47
Who prepared the sugar?
1:40:49
- I don't know. It must've been Ellen.
- Why do you think it was Ellen?
1:40:52
She was the one who took sugar
with coffee.
1:40:54
- Who served coffee on the picnic day?
- I did.
1:40:57
- You gave her the sugar.
- Yes.
1:40:58
- That night she was dead.
- Yes.
1:41:00
And the very next day...
1:41:01
...her body was cremated?
- Yes.
1:41:03
The following day Harland left with
the ashes for the New Mexico ranch...
1:41:06
...to dispose of them?
- Yes.
1:41:08
- So that no autopsy could be possible?
- No, no! That wasn't the reason.
1:41:11
Ellen always wanted to be cremated
and have her ashes scattered...
1:41:14
...with her father's.
- Then why did she...
1:41:17
...have a clause inserted in her will
requesting her burial at Mount Auburn?
1:41:21
- I can't explain it.
- There's many things you can't explain.
1:41:24
You can't explain how poison
got in the bath salt bottle.
1:41:27
Can't explain how it got in the sugar.
Can't explain why Ellen's body...
1:41:30
...was cremated
to make an autopsy impossible.
1:41:33
Can't explain why you made plans
to leave the country...
1:41:35
...shortly before your sister
was poisoned.
1:41:38
Perhaps you can explain this:
1:41:39
When did you fall in love
with Richard Harland?
1:41:42
- Did you ever tell him you loved him?
- No.
1:41:44
When did you fall in love?
You've dodged long enough.
1:41:46
You can answer a simple question
and I demand you do so!
1:41:49
When did you fall in love
with Richard Harland?
1:41:52
Did you love him after his brother
was drowned?
1:41:54
Did you love him after the death
of his stillborn child?
1:41:57
After his wife died?
Did you love him last week?
