:34:03
- Would you pass that on to the jury?
- Yes.
:34:10
- What time were you called, Lieutenant?
- 8:15.
:34:13
Sergeant got the call from the house.
:34:15
We got here about 9:00 and...
:34:17
we didn't find the body till approximately
2:30 in the morning.
:34:20
Well, I guess that's all.
Except for one thing.
:34:24
A statement by Mr. Graham.
:34:26
You don't usually hear a man
say a thing like that...
:34:29
especially about his wife,
so I wrote it down.
:34:32
I asked him:
:34:33
"How do you think the accident
happened, Mr. Graham?"
:34:37
His exact answer was...
:34:38
Anything I said that night was not...
I was under great strain.
:34:41
- It's not evidence.
- Just a moment, Dean.
:34:45
I should like to remind the coroner,
that Mr. Graham has not been well.
:34:49
We' re aware
of Mr. Graham's condition, Doctor.
:34:52
It's largely the reason why this hearing
is being held here...
:34:55
instead of the county courthouse.
:34:56
However, anything that pertains
to the events of the evening...
:34:59
must be a matter of public knowledge.
:35:02
What was Mr. Graham's statement?
:35:04
Well, his exact words were:
:35:07
"It wasn't an accident.
:35:09
"She did it deliberately."
:35:12
Is that correct?
:35:16
Any more questions,
Mr. District Attorney?
:35:18
- Not at all.
- That's all, Lieutenant.
:35:21
Mr. Coroner,
before you conclude this hearing...
:35:24
I'd like to recall Dr. Sherman to the stand.
:35:26
Dr. Sherman,
will you take the stand, please?
:35:33
Unless I'm mistaken, this is your personal
diagnosis of Mrs. Graham's illness?
:35:37
Yes.
:35:38
Dr. Sherman, according to the case history
you've already given the coroner...
:35:42
Mrs. Graham was an invalid,
and likely to remain so.
:35:44
- Yes.
- Was she depressed?
:35:47
Well...
:35:50
- Was Mrs. Graham depressed?
- Yes.
:35:53
In your opinion, Doctor...
:35:55
was she depressed enough
to commit suicide?
:35:58
If you'll excuse me, sir,
Mr. Graham's children have just come in.
