:32:01
and nothing but the truth,
so help you God?
:32:02
I do.
:32:04
You are under oath to tell only the truth.
:32:07
You'll therefore answer my questions
to the best of your ability...
:32:10
and in your own words.
:32:13
At the death of your father
and your dear mother...
:32:17
- just how old were you?
- I was 15.
:32:21
Left in comfortable circumstances?
:32:24
My father had been ill
as long as I could remember...
:32:27
and my mother's health had broken
nursing him.
:32:31
They left me without anything.
:32:34
Now, it isn't my purpose to humiliate you,
Miss Lee, in front of these people...
:32:38
but I must ask you to tell them
just what followed.
:32:42
Tell the jury.
:32:48
Well, I got work in the public library.
:32:51
I met a man who said he loved me.
:32:54
We were married secretly.
:32:56
And then I found out that he already had
a wife and that our marriage was a fake.
:33:00
- Did you continue on with this man?
- I never saw him again...
:33:06
and after my baby died...
:33:10
I left the city.
:33:11
Did you make an effort
to secure employment...
:33:13
so you could earn your own living?
Work of any kind?
:33:16
Yes, I did.
:33:18
Tell the court just what happened.
:33:21
Well, I managed to get a position
as schoolteacher and then...
:33:25
someone found out about me, and l...
:33:27
And they blamed you instead of the man,
and you were forced to get out.
:33:30
I object! That's leading the witness!
:33:32
Objection sustained.
Strike out the question.
:33:36
Did you try to secure other employment
in that town?
:33:39
They wouldn't listen to me.
:33:41
- I had to leave.
- What did you do?
:33:44
Well, I got work in another town
as a nurse girl.
:33:46
But the same thing again and again,
wherever I went, always the same.
:33:49
In other words, refused
even the poorest kind of work...
:33:52
to try and keep body and soul together.
:33:53
- I object! Irrelevant and immaterial!
- You left out incompetent.
:33:57
- Sir!
- Gentlemen, gentlemen!
