:14:01
Lt. Manion and his wife were there.
:14:04
What did Lt. Manion say to you?
:14:07
He said that his wife had had
some trouble with Barney Quill.
:14:10
He had gone to the tavern
and shot Quill.
:14:13
He asked us whether Quill was dead
or not. We told him he was.
:14:16
How did Lt. Manion
take this information?
:14:19
He didn't seem surprised.
:14:21
What did you do then?
:14:23
I asked for the gun he'd used.
:14:25
Did you take Lt. Manion to the county
jail here in Iron City that same night?
:14:29
Yes, sir. We drove the Lieutenant
down with his wife.
:14:31
On the drive to Iron City, did Manion
talk further about the shooting?
:14:36
He remarked that if he had the whole
thing to do over, he'd still do it.
:14:40
During all this, at the trailer,
the drive to Iron City...
:14:43
how did Lt. Manion appear to you?
:14:47
He was very quiet most of the time.
Seemed clearheaded.
:14:50
Would you say he was in complete
possession of his faculties?
:14:54
- Seemed so to me.
- Your witness.
:14:57
Sergeant Durgo, you testified
that Lt. Manion told you...
:15:00
he shot Barney Quill after he learned
his wife had some trouble with Quill.
:15:06
Were these the words Lt. Manion
used, ""some trouble""?
:15:09
No, sir. Those were my words,
not his.
:15:11
And was it your notion to come here
and use your own words?
:15:14
No, sir.
:15:16
And was the suggestion to call it
""some trouble""...
:15:18
made by somebody here
in the courtroom?
:15:23
Yes, sir.
:15:25
Sergeant, would you tell the court
what words Lt. Manion actually used...
:15:30
to describe the trouble
his wife had had.
:15:32
Objection.
We've been over this before.
:15:35
This information would not be relevant
to any issues before the court.
:15:38
This statement concerning some trouble
was brought out...
:15:41
during the direct examination
of Sergeant Durgo.
:15:43
Up to now, you've adroitly restricted
all testimony...
:15:47
as far as Laura Manion's concerned.
:15:49
All right, the cat's out of the bag.
It's fair game for me to chase it.
:15:52
This is a sore point, Mr. Biegler,
and it's getting sorer.
:15:55
I'd like to hear
from the prosecution.
:15:58
Burden is on defense to prove temporary
insanity at the time of the shooting.
