:30:04
- Over there?
- Yes, and get down every word of it.
:30:07
If a good white hope showed up
and beat him, I wouldn't need to do this.
:30:11
A public servant has to
serve the public, Al.
:30:14
You ever have the screws
put on you like this in Washington?
:30:17
Oh, I don't think they'd even know
where to look for us.
:30:26
Come in.
:30:29
Good afternoon,
Miss Bachman.
:30:32
- Take a seat, please.
- Thank you.
:30:37
You understand, this is,
uh, just an informal inquiry.
:30:42
- Yes. I understand.
- Good.
:30:44
Now then, Miss Bachman...
:30:46
- I see you resumed your maiden
name after your divorce.
- That's right.
:30:50
- And you obtained your divorce
from Mr. Martin in Australia.
- Yes.
:30:54
- That's an odd place to go for a divorce.
- I have an aunt there.
:30:57
- I wanted to get away.
- Oh.
:30:59
- You hadn't met Mr. Jefferson
before your trip?
- No, I had not.
:31:02
- You did not travel there
to be with Mr. Jefferson?
- No, I didn't.
:31:05
I met him on the boat
coming back.
:31:07
- How did he approach you?
- He didn't.
:31:09
- I asked the captain to introduce us.
- May I ask why?
:31:13
Yes. I wanted to
make his acquaintance.
:31:16
And once you had, Miss Bachman,
what did he propose to you?
:31:21
That I have dinner at his table.
:31:23
- Which you did for several evenings.
- Yes.
:31:25
- Until you began taking
your meals in his stateroom.
- Yes, that's correct.
:31:28
Where a great deal of wine
and champagne was consumed.
:31:31
Well, you might say that.
:31:33
Presumably he would keep
filling your glass.
:31:37
- When it was empty, yes.
- Uh-huh. Ten times per evening?
:31:40
No, I drank very little.
:31:43
- How often did he give you medicine or pills?
- Never. I wasn't ill.
:31:46
But the steward reports
you hardly left the stateroom.
:31:49
Didn't you feel...
strange? Sleepy?
:31:53
No.
:31:55
I felt uncomfortable at how people
looked at me. I wasn't used to it.
