He was my second in command.
1:14:02
Would you identify him?
1:14:09
That's him.
1:14:12
You assigned Mr. Sabich to supervise
the investigation in this case?

1:14:18
He volunteered.
1:14:19
And I accepted.
1:14:21
He promised to pursue it vigorously.
1:14:24
Did he?
1:14:25
Not to my way of thinking, no.
1:14:28
I got the feeling he was stalling
on the investigation.

1:14:31
I let him know that I wasn't happy
about that.

1:14:36
He brought in his own detective
to replace Harold Greer.

1:14:39
Then he gave his new partner instructions
to ignore evidence...

1:14:42
...about telephone calls
between his house and Carolyn's.

1:14:47
He tried to limit the scope of
the fingerprint search to exclude his own.

1:14:53
He was more interested in whether I had
been intimate with Carolyn Polhemus...

1:14:58
...than in the facts surrounding her murder.
1:15:00
What did you tell him
about you and Ms. Polhemus?

1:15:02
I told him the truth.
1:15:05
That we'd been together
for about three months.

1:15:07
This, of course, was after I was divorced.
1:15:09
At that time, or any other time...
1:15:11
...did he inform you
of his personal relationship with her?

1:15:14
There is no proof in the record
of any relationship between them.

1:15:18
I'll let the question stand.
1:15:21
But Mr. Della Guardia is asking a question
based on his assumption...

1:15:26
...that something was going on
between Mr. Sabich and Ms. Polhemus.

1:15:30
Just because he thinks it's so...
1:15:33
...doesn't make it so.
1:15:35
Proceed.
1:15:37
I never would've let him handle
the investigation...

1:15:40
...if I thought he'd been intimate
with the victim.

1:15:43
Nothing further.
1:15:45
Have you any...
1:15:47
...personal knowledge...
1:15:49
...that there was ever a relationship
between Mr. Sabich and Ms. Polhemus?

1:15:53
That's the point. He didn't tell me.
1:15:55
Please answer the question I asked you.
1:15:59
Do you remember the question?
