1:23:01
-Yes, Your Honor.
-Miss Carter, l am asking the questions.
1:23:05
Now, where did this
conversation take place?
1:23:08
Well, l just happened to be
in the powder room. . .
1:23:11
. . .powdering my nose, of course,
and l looked out the window. . .
1:23:14
. . .and l saw Mr. Fabrini and Mrs. Carlsen
standing by the side of his car arguing.
1:23:19
-Did you hear what they were saying?
-Well, l didn't exactly hear.
1:23:22
You understand, l didn't try,
but it seemed to me that one of them. . .
1:23:26
. . .wanted the other one
to do something. . .
1:23:28
. . .but l couldn't tell who wanted who
to do what to which.
1:23:33
When your brother became head
of the Carlsen Trucking service. . .
1:23:37
. . .did you get a job as traffic manager
with the company?
1:23:40
-Yeah, but--
-Objection. The question is leading.
1:23:42
-Objection sustained.
-That's all.
1:23:45
Miss Hartley, you say
that you and Mr. Fabrini. . .
1:23:48
. . .have been in love,
plan to be married.
1:23:50
-That's right.
-Can you tell me why. . .
1:23:53
. . .you didn't get married
some time ago?
1:23:55
-We couldn't afford it.
-Did Fabrini work evenings quite a bit?
1:23:59
-Yes.
-Could you swear that Mr. Fabrini. . .
1:24:01
. . .was actually in his office
working on those evenings?
1:24:04
-No, but l--
-lsn't it possible that Mr. Fabrini. . .
1:24:06
. . .didn't marry because
he found marriage inconvenient. . .
1:24:09
-. . .in his relations with Mrs. Carlsen?
-Objection.
1:24:12
Objection sustained.
1:24:13
The witness will not have
to answer that.
1:24:16
lsn't it true that Mr. Fabrini
kept you two ladies apart. . .
1:24:19
. . .until one evening, when he got
his dates crossed. . .
1:24:21
. . .he found you both face to face?
1:24:23
-Well, Joe never did--
-l object!
1:24:25
-Overruled.
-lsn't it true that Mrs. Carlsen. . .
1:24:27
. . .was so unnerved that she fainted?
1:24:29
-She was ill.
-Certainly, she was ill. lll of shock.
1:24:32
Shocked at finding the man
for whom. . .
1:24:34
. . .she murdered her own husband
with another woman.
1:24:37
That's not right.
Joe didn't help in any murder.
1:24:39
He didn't have anything
to do with it. lf he thought--
1:24:42
That's all.
1:24:44
Did you say anything to Mr. Fabrini
about Mrs. Carlsen?
1:24:47
l don't remember.
1:24:49
Did you ever notice that after Fabrini
came to work at Carlsen's. . .
1:24:52
. . .that Mrs. Carlsen frequented the
garage more than she had previously?
1:24:58
-l don't remember.
-Don't you remember anything?
