On the afternoon of October 8, were you
not in a travel agency in Regent Street?
1:21:05
And did you not make inquiries about
prices and schedules of foreign cruises?
1:21:09
Supposing I did? It's not a crime, is it?
1:21:13
Not at all. Many people go on a cruise
when they can afford to pay for it.
1:21:17
- But you couldn't pay for it, could you?
- Well, I was hard up. I told you that.
1:21:22
And yet you came to this particular
travel agency with a clinging brunette?
1:21:27
A clinging brunette, Mr Myers?
1:21:30
My lord, the lady was so described to me.
1:21:32
She was very affectionate with the
prisoner, constantly clinging to his arm.
1:21:36
Oh.
1:21:39
You then admit that you made inquiries
about expensive and luxurious cruises?
1:21:44
How did you expect
to pay for such a thing?
1:21:46
- I don't know. It was...
- If you don't know, perhaps I can help.
1:21:49
On the morning of the very same day,
you heard Mrs French change her will,
1:21:53
- leaving you the bulk of her money.
- I didn't!
1:21:56
And in the afternoon,
you started plans to dispose of it.
1:21:59
No! It was nothing of the kind.
1:22:01
I was in a pub and I met a girl.
I don't even remember her name.
1:22:04
We had a drink and walked out together.
1:22:06
We passed the window and saw the fancy
posters, all blue seas and palm trees.
1:22:12
The Grecian isles or somewhere. We went
in for fun and I started asking for folders.
1:22:18
Well, the man gave me a funny look
because I did look a bit shabby.
1:22:21
Anyway, it irritated me,
so I kept asking for the swankiest tours,
1:22:25
all de luxe and cabin on the boat deck,
but it was just an act!
1:22:28
An act? You knew that in a week
you were going to inherit $80,000!
1:22:32
No! It wasn't that way at all.
It was make-believe and childish but...
1:22:37
it was fun and I enjoyed it. I never thought
of killing anyone or inheriting any money.
1:22:41
It's just a coincidence that Mrs French
should be killed only one week later?
1:22:45
I told you! I didn't kill her!
1:22:48
Do you know any reason why Christine
Helm should give the evidence she has
1:22:52
- if it were not true?
- No. I don't know why my wife...
1:22:56
I don't know why I still call her my wife.
She must be lying or out of her mind.
