How do you know that Karin and your son
spent the weekend there together?
1:01:04
When I took his suit to the cleaner,
I found two ski lift tickets in his pocket.
1:01:08
He tried to deny it at first...
1:01:10
...but after we had a good talk together,
he finally admitted it.
1:01:15
Why did you oppose your son's association
with Miss Steinhof?
1:01:19
I did not want him
to be made a fool of by a teenager...
1:01:22
...with nothing in her silly head
but to get married.
1:01:24
These question and answers
are clearly and intentionally defamatory!
1:01:29
Whether the witness likes
or dislikes Fraulein Steinhof...
1:01:31
...or welcomes or opposes her son's
association with Fraulein Steinhof...
1:01:35
...or where Fraulein Steinhof
elects to spend her weekends...
1:01:38
...is in no way pertinent to this case.
1:01:39
We are here solely to determine
if the four accused are guilty of rape.
1:01:45
Yesterday, Col. Pakenham rebutted
a similar objection of mine.
1:01:48
He said, and I quote:
1:01:50
''I am attempting to establish
the character of the prosecutrix.''
1:01:54
Today, I claim the same privilege.
1:01:56
Let's not forget that four lives
depend on her testimony.
1:02:04
Objection overruled.
1:02:10
What did your son say
when you reproached him...
1:02:13
...for having spent the weekend
with Miss Steinhof?
1:02:15
He begged me not to say anything
about it to Karin's parents.
1:02:18
But why not?
1:02:20
Because she had lied to them.
1:02:21
She told them she was
spending the weekend with girlfriends.
1:02:26
Thank you. That'll be all.
1:02:27
Herr Schmidt, what is your occupation?
1:02:29
Head bookkeeper at Schnack and Pellman,
Ladies' Wear.
1:02:33
-How long have you been employed there?
-34 years and three months.
1:02:37
-Do you know the Steinhof family?
-Yes. We live in the same street.
1:02:41
Is it true that you can see from your
living room into Karin Steinhof's bedroom?
1:02:46
-That's correct.
-What's the distance approximately?
1:02:49
50 meters, maybe less.
1:02:52
Less.
1:02:54
Have you ever seen anything
from this window that seemed...
1:02:57
...peculiar?
1:02:58
Yes, most peculiar.
