1:09:10
I swear by Almighty God
that the evidence I shall give
1:09:13
shall be the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth.
1:09:16
My lord, I have the most serious objection
1:09:19
to this witness being summoned,
as she is the wife of the prisoner.
1:09:23
I call my learned friend's attention
1:09:25
to the fact that I summoned
not Mrs Vole, but Mrs Helm.
1:09:30
- Your name, in fact, is Christine Helm?
- Yes. Christine Helm.
1:09:34
And you have been living
as the wife of the prisoner, Leonard Vole?
1:09:37
- Yes.
- Are you actually his wife?
1:09:40
No.
1:09:42
I went through a marriage ceremony
with him, but I already had a husband.
1:09:46
- He's still alive.
- Christine, that's not true!
1:09:49
There is proof of a marriage
between the witness and the prisoner,
1:09:52
but is there any proof
of a so-called previous marriage?
1:09:55
My lord, the so-called previous marriage
is, in fact, well-documented.
1:10:01
Mrs Helm, is this a certificate of marriage
between yourself and Otto Ludwig Helm,
1:10:07
the ceremony having taken place
in Breslau on 18 April 1942?
1:10:11
Yes, that is the paper of my marriage.
1:10:14
I don't see any reason why this witness
should not be qualified to give evidence.
1:10:24
You're willing to give evidence against the
man you've been calling your husband?
1:10:29
Yes.
1:10:31
You stated to the police that on the night
that Mrs French was murdered,
1:10:34
Leonard Vole left the house at 7.30
and returned at 25 minutes past 9.
1:10:39
Did he, in fact, return at 25 past 9?
1:10:44
No. He returned at ten minutes past ten.
1:10:47
Christine, what are you saying?
It's not true. You know it's not true!
1:10:55
Silence!
1:10:57
I must have silence.
