:42:01
- I'm sorry, Your Honor.
- I sympathize with the lieutenant.
:42:04
I expect he has the same feeling
about getting out of jail.
:42:08
But the main point here
is that at no time...
:42:10
during your war service did you have
a record of mental disturbance.
:42:13
You were always in complete possession
of your faculties.
:42:15
Yes, sir. That's right.
:42:17
- No more questions.
- No redirect, Your Honor.
:42:20
Step down, please.
Call your next witness.
:42:23
We call Laura Manion
to the stand.
:42:37
- Up these stairs and to the right.
- Thanks.
:42:46
How long after you told
your husband what had happened...
:42:48
did he leave the trailer?
:42:50
I don't know exactly.
:42:53
Everything was kind of fuzzy.
:42:54
I was faint,
and I laid down on the bed.
:42:57
He sat beside me.
:42:59
I vaguely remember
his getting up and going out.
:43:02
I remember wondering
if he was going for a doctor...
:43:04
and then he came back in.
:43:07
It seemed like just a few seconds,
but it must have been longer.
:43:09
I must've gone to sleep.
:43:12
When he came back in,
he sat on the bed...
:43:15
and he had a gun in his hand.
:43:17
And I said, ""What are you going to do?""
:43:20
And he said,
""I think I've already done it.
:43:23
I think I've killed Barney Quill.''
:43:25
Are you sure he didn't say,
""I've killed Barney Quill""?
:43:28
No, I remember distinctly.
:43:31
""I think I've killed Barney Quill.""
:43:33
Then what did you do?
:43:35
I put my arms around him
and began to cry...
:43:39
and I said,
""You'd better go to Mr. Lemon.""
:43:42
And my husband said,
""I forgot about that.""
:43:44
What did he mean?
Forgot about what?
:43:47
He meant he'd forgotten
Mr. Lemon was a deputy sheriff.
:43:50
And he said, ""Yes,
I'll go turn myself in to Mr. Lemon.""
:43:53
Yes, I see.
:43:54
Your Honor, I have no other
direct questions at this time.
:43:57
But since I'm sure it's difficult
to visualize the part...
