:02:02
What are you going to
have him observe--
:02:04
the constellation ofTaurus
or the life and times of a bumblebee?
:02:07
To observe the defendant, of course.
:02:10
That's fine.
The defense has no objection.
:02:13
I just wish to express my relief...
:02:15
that the new recruit is not additional
legal reinforcements from Lansing.
:02:20
Call Alphonse Paquette.
:02:28
Raise your right hand.
:02:30
Do you solemnly swear the testimony
you give in this case...
:02:33
shall be the whole truth and nothing
but the truth, so help you God?
:02:36
- I do.
- Take a seat, please.
:02:41
- Will you state your name?
- Alphonse Paquette.
:02:44
- You work at the Thunder Bay Inn?
- I'm bartender there.
:02:48
Were you working the night that Barney
Quill was shot by Frederick Manion?
:02:52
- I was.
- Were you witness to the shooting?
:02:54
I was.
:02:55
Will you tell us in your own words
what happened?
:02:59
I was at a table by the door
when Lt. Manion came in.
:03:03
Did you know Lt. Manion
by sight and name?
:03:05
Go ahead.
:03:07
Well, he came in and walked
over to the bar and began to shoot.
:03:12
He shot Barney when he came
up to the bar...
:03:14
and when Barney fell he kept on shooting
at Barney behind the bar.
:03:18
Then he turned around and walked out.
:03:20
When Lt. Manion entered the bar,
how did he appear to you?
:03:24
Well, he walked slow, kind of deliberate
I guess you could say.
:03:29
Did he speak to Barney Quill?
:03:31
Not a word.Just walked over
and pulled out his gun...
:03:34
and bang.
:03:35
- And then he walked out?
- Yes.
:03:39
When he walked out,
how did he appear to you?
:03:42
He seemed just like he did
when he walked in--
:03:44
like he was the mailman
delivering the mail.
:03:46
When Lt. Manion walked
out of the bar, what did you do?
:03:50
Well, it happened so fast,
I guess I was stunned.
:03:53
- But then I ran out after him.
- Did you find him outside?
:03:56
- Yes, sir. He was walking away.
- Did you speak to him?
:03:59
Yes, sir. I said, "" Lieutenant,
you'd better not run away from this.""
