A: He told me, he says, ‘I have to kill you because you can identify me.’

Q: Did he kill you?

Q: Were you present when that picture was taken?

* Were you present in court this morning when you were sworn in?

* Q: Now, Mrs. Johnson, how was your first marriage terminated?

A: By death.

Q: And by whose death was it terminated?

* Q: Do you know how far pregnant you are now?

A: I’ll be three months on November 8.

Q: Apparently, then, the date of conception was August 8?

A: Yes.

Q: What were you doing at that time?

* Q: Mrs. Jones, do you believe you are emotionally stable?

A: I used to be.

Q: How many times have you committed suicide?

A: It was in the evening. The autopsy started about 8:30 p.m.

Q: And Mr. Edington was dead at the time, is that correct?

A: No, you stupid, he was sitting on the table wondering why I was doing an autopsy!

* Q: Before you signed the death certificate, had you taken the man’s pulse?

A: No.

Q: Did you listen for a heart beat?

A: No.

Q: Did you check for breathing?

A: No.

Q: So when you signed the death certificate you had not taken any steps to make sure the man was dead, had you?

A: Well, let me put it this way. The man’s brain was sitting in a jar on my desk, but for all I know he could be out there practicing law somewhere.
