:49:00
attractive to men, lonely, restless,
that you never once met--
:49:03
Objection, Your Honor. The witness has
answered the question about other men.
:49:06
The counsel is now making
a veiled suggestion to the jury.
:49:09
I withdraw the question.
:49:11
Mrs. Manion, on these occasional
excursions into the night...
:49:15
did you always go
and return home alone?
:49:18
Of course.
:49:19
Mrs. Manion, you testified
that the reason you got...
:49:21
into Barney Quill's car was because
you were afraid to go home alone.
:49:25
Why were you so frightened
on this night?
:49:27
I said that it was because he told me
bears had been seen around.
:49:31
Was this the first time
you heard that...
:49:33
bears came around Thunder Bay
for scraps?
:49:35
- No.
- Had you seen the bears before?
:49:38
Yes.
:49:39
Oh, this was just the first time
you were afraid of them.
:49:42
No, I was always afraid of them.
:49:44
Oh, this was just the first time
you were enough afraid to allow...
:49:47
a man to take you home
from one of your evening prowls.
:49:49
Objection. Use of the word ""prowls.""
Meant to mislead the jury.
:49:53
- Sustained.
- I apologize, Mrs. Manion.
:49:56
I didn't mean to imply
that you were a huntress.
:49:59
Was this the first time that
you were enough afraid to allow a man...
:50:01
to take you home
from one of your evening walks?
:50:05
Well, it wasn't just that.
:50:07
- It was--
- Oh, come now, Mrs. Manion.
:50:09
You should be able to answer that
straight off. That's a simple question.
:50:12
Your Honor, how can the witness
answer straight off...
:50:14
when the counsel keeps interrupting
the answer?
:50:17
The witness seemed
a little slow to me, Mr. Biegler.
:50:20
However, let her complete her answers
before you interrupt.
:50:23
Of course, Your Honor. In any case,
Mr. Biegler's objection...
:50:25
has given Mr. Manion sufficient time
to think of an answer to my question.
:50:28
You've thought of one, haven't you?
:50:30
What I was going to say was that
I didn't want to offend Mr. Quill...
:50:33
by making him think that I was
afraid of him or didn't like him.
:50:37
He's been very pleasant to my husband
and me when we'd been in his bar.
:50:40
That's very good, Mrs. Manion.
Very good, indeed.
:50:42
- Your Honor, please.
- The attorney for the people...
:50:45
will reserve his comments
for the arguments.
:50:48
I will ask you this question,
Mrs. Manion.
:50:51
Was this the first time you had been
in Barney Quill's car at night?
:50:58
Mrs. Manion, did you hear the question?
