:25:03
Yes.
:25:05
So if I can begin by asking you how long
you've been helping girls out?
:25:10
A long time.
:25:13
Can you be specific?
:25:15
Exactly how long?
:25:18
Um.
:25:21
You previously stated
to the inspector,
:25:23
"about 20 years."
:25:25
Oh, did l?
:25:27
So if I put...
:25:29
"l have been...
:25:32
helping girls out...
:25:36
for 20 years."
:25:39
- For about 20 years.
- Yes, sir.
:25:43
What's wrong with climbing a wall?
:25:45
Well, it depends what's
on the other side of it, sir.
:26:12
You are charged that you, Vera Rose Drake,
:26:15
on the 17th day of November, 1950,
:26:18
at 37 Flixton Street, North 1,
:26:20
with the intent to procure a miscarriage,
:26:22
did unlawfully and feloniously use an instrument
:26:25
on Pamela Mary Barnes,
:26:27
contrary to section 58
:26:29
of the Offenses Against the Person Act, 1861.
:26:32
Do you wish to say
anything in answer to the charge?
:26:35
You are not obliged to say anything
unless you wish to do so,
:26:38
But whatever you say
will be taken down in writing
:26:40
and may be given in evidence.
:26:46
No.
:26:48
Thank you,
sergeant.
:26:50
Very good, sir.
:26:51
This way, Vera.
