1:18:02
Therefore, her evidence must be admitted
and you must consider it.
1:18:08
For what it is worth.
1:18:12
Such is the prosecution's case.
Now it is the turn of the defence.
1:18:17
We could present, on behalf of
the prisoner, witnesses to his character,
1:18:21
his war record, the lack of criminal
or evil association in his past.
1:18:25
However, only one witness
can shed new light
1:18:30
on this tragic riddle.
1:18:34
The prisoner himself.
1:18:37
Members of the jury,
1:18:40
I call Leonard Stephen Vole.
1:19:02
I swear by Almighty God
that the evidence I give will be the truth,
1:19:05
- the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
- No.
1:19:09
- Is your name Leonard Stephen Vole?
- It is.
1:19:13
- Where do live?
- 620 Edgware Road.
1:19:16
Leonard Stephen Vole, did you or did
you not on the night of October 14 last,
1:19:22
murder Emily Jane French?
1:19:24
- I did not.
- Thank you, that will be all.
1:19:30
Have you, in fact, concluded your
examination of the prisoner, Sir Wilfrid?
1:19:34
The prisoner has endured three days
of profound mental agony and shock.
1:19:40
The defence feels
his faculties should be spared
1:19:42
for the cross-examination
by my learned friend for the prosecution.
1:19:46
This is not a plea for any indulgence.
1:19:49
I am confident that
no matter how searching this may be,
1:19:52
the prisoner will withstand it.
1:19:56
At the time you made the acquaintance
of Mrs French, were you employed?
