Mr. Biegler's putting up
a smoke screen for some reason.
:10:06
- I do.
- Take a seat please.
:10:10
- Will you state your name, please?
- George Lemon.
:10:13
What kind of work do you do?
:10:15
I'm caretaker of the tourist park
in Thunder Bay.
:10:18
I see the place is clean
and orderly.
:10:20
I check people in and out
and lock the gate at night.
:10:23
And what is your authority
for these duties?
:10:26
I'm paid by Madison Township
and I'm also a deputy sheriff.
:10:30
Just courtesy, sort of.
:10:31
Did you see Lt. Manion
on the night of the 1 5th?
:10:35
- The night Barney Quill was killed?
- Yes, sir.
:10:38
Will you tell the court
about how and when...
:10:43
you saw Lt. Manion.
:10:45
About 1 :00 a.m. a knock on my door
waked me up.
:10:48
I went to the door and Lt. Manion
was standing there.
:10:51
He said, ""You better take me, Mr. Lemon,
because I just shot Barney Quill.""
:10:55
I told him to go back to his trailer
and that I would call the state police.
:10:59
How did Lt. Manion appear to you
when he asked you to take him?
:11:02
He said what he had to say
and did what I told him. No fuss.
:11:06
Did he appear to you to be--
as far as you could tell--
:11:09
in complete possession
of his faculties?
:11:12
As far as I could tell,
yes, sir.
:11:15
Take the witness.
:11:17
Mr. Lemon, did you go
to the Manions' trailer?
:11:21
-Yes, sir.
-Did you see Mrs. Manion at the trailer?
:11:24
- Yes, sir.
- What was her appearance?
:11:27
She was a mess.
:11:29
Objection.
:11:31
No evidence has been introduced to make
Mrs. Manion's appearance relevant.
:11:35
No evidence has been introduced to make
Barney Quill's appearance relevant...
:11:38
but you didn't object
to the question then.
:11:40
Is that because you know Barney Quill
bathed and changed...
:11:44
after he raped and beat hell
out of this poor woman?
:11:47
Your Honor, everybody in this court
is being tried except Mr. Manion.
:11:50
Now listen, this is a cross-examination
murder case, not a high school debate!
:11:55
What are you trying to do,
railroad this soldier into the clink?
:11:59
Mr. Biegler, you are
an experienced attorney...
