:45:01
I'll ask the court to notice
that the dog turned on the light.
:45:14
It's easy to see that Muff doesn't know
who his enemies are.
:45:17
- Remove the dog, please.
- Yes, sir.
:45:19
- The witness will resume the stand.
- There we go, Muff.
:45:26
May I congratulate you
on your well trained pet.
:45:29
May I also say I'm pleased to see
you're not today...
:45:32
hiding your lovely hair
under a hat.
:45:34
Your Honor, is the assistant attorney
general from Lansing pitching woo...
:45:38
- or is he going to cross-examine?
- Let's get on with it.
:45:42
Mrs. Manion, what was your occupation
before you were married?
:45:44
- Housewife.
- Then you've been married before?
:45:47
- Yes, once.
- I suppose your first husband died?
:45:51
No.
:45:52
Did you divorce your first husband
to marry Lt. Manion?
:45:55
Your Honor, if counsel wants
to know the grounds...
:45:57
for Mrs. Manion's divorce,
let him ask that question.
:45:59
What were the grounds
for divorce?
:46:01
- Mental cruelty.
- Naturally. And how long after...
:46:04
your divorce was it
that you married Lt. Manion?
:46:06
I'm not sure.
:46:08
May I refresh the witness' memory
for Mr. Dancer?
:46:11
- By all means.
- I believe she told me...
:46:13
that they were married
three days after the divorce.
:46:17
Thank you, Mr. Biegler.
Is that correct, Mrs. Manion?
:46:20
Then unless yours was
a whirlwind courtship...
:46:23
you must have known Lt. Manion
before your divorce.
:46:25
- Did you?
- Yes.
:46:27
Mrs. Manion, what is your...
:46:29
religious affiliation?
:46:31
- I'm a Catholic.
- Catholic in good standing?
:46:35
Well, no. The divorce, you know.
:46:37
You mean you were excommunicated
because of the divorce and remarriage.
:46:39
Yes.
:46:40
Mrs. Manion, wouldn't you say
that a Catholic...
:46:43
who can blithely ignore one of
the cardinal rules of her church...
:46:47
could also easily ignore an oath
taken on one of its artifacts...
:46:50
say, an oath taken on a rosary?
:46:54
I don't think that's true.
:46:56
Wouldn't you think there'd be some doubt
about the integrity of such a person?
