An Opportunity To Get Rid Of Cheating Husband - Your Witness | Hitchcock Presents

one thing we know mr babcock is that mrs thompson approached the intersection from the south how do you account for not having heard or approached that intersection mr babcock i didn't say that i didn't hear her oh you mean then that you did hear well no what i mean is that i don't really remember i was tired i just come from work at the chichi club yes that's where i'm employed employed there is a porter aren't you well you could call it that i'd tidy up after the place is closed at two o'clock in the morning yes sir and one hour later after completing your chores at the chichi club you were seated on this bench where did you say liv i live in candlewood i have a small apartment there you live alone yes sir ever since my wife died three years ago well it must be pretty lonely coming home nights to an empty apartment can be very lonely i was happily married for many years but you do have friends don't you friends well yes not that i find much time to see them now i mean friends at your place of employment the chichi club specifically they do have entertainers there don't they mr babcock among them some extremely youthful and beautiful young ladies i object to this line of questioning your honor it's slightly suggestive and without relevance objection sustained i'm sorry your honor i'm confident that my questions will prove relevant however i shall try to rephrase them let's put it this way mr babcock isn't it true that you frequently do favors for these young ladies such as taking coffee and sandwiches to their dressing rooms objection we're not here to examine the social side of this witness mr sean neither is it our business to delve into his personal affairs why isn't it the witness has testified in direct contradiction to sworn statements by my client one of them is obviously a liar or mistaken your honor i respectfully submit that this entitles me to establish the credibility of the witness proceed counselor mr babcock let's get back to an item that we both agree on this rectangular mark does represent the bench on which you were seated while waiting for the bus yes it's where i was seated and it was also from this position the time the accident occurred that you saw that the traffic light was red yes i saw the light was against him isn't there a street lamp on that corner isn't it indicated there well i guess it is but still i will stop guessing and stick to the facts mr babcock wouldn't mrs thompson have been obliged to pass within the ark of that light i want to be truthful but i don't know maybe she came too fast for me possibly she was running running running mr bad cop now why would a woman of mrs thompson's age already tired from nursing a sick child why would she be running i didn't say that she was running but she could have been she could even have been afraid afraid afraid of what give me a reason why she should have been afraid was there someone else in the vicinity at the no well then what could have frightened mrs thompson how would i know except that she was elderly things happen to women is what i mean you read about it all the time i read about it what do i read about i don't mean you i mean anyone things you read in the paper oh do you read about it after you've left the young ladies dressing rooms for instance i object your honor objection sustained i direct that the last remarks of council be stricken from the record and that the jury disregard them your honor i'm sorry if my remarks have raised a prejudice against the witness if i have overreached myself it's only been to try to solve a riddle that still remains how could he have turned his head to observe a traffic light without seeing the witness approaching the crosswalk proceed counselor mr babcock how long have you been employed at the club chi-chi about 10 months i don't suppose the salary they pay you is very substantial is it i manage my needs are small but it isn't comparable to for instance the salary that you received as an instructor of mathematics for 14 years at freeman high school is it no sir it isn't now why did you give up a dignified position like that that you held for so many years to work in a cheap honky tonk why should a man with your background be reduced to running errands for showgirls that isn't fair the reason is that a reason mr babcock the reason is this why that's not your glasses mr babcock your eyes isn't it true that you gave up teaching for the simple reason that you were going blind i did have cataracts but now that i have in my possession a report from an ophthalmologist which states that at the time of surgery your vision was 85 impaired and furthermore you are colorblind it isn't fair this way my glasses please if it please of course your honor i move in simple justice that the testimony of this witness be stricken entirely from the reckless it's obvious that he is incompetent to testify to anything of a visual nature in a court of law that isn't true you'll have to let me speak arnold i have to talk to you congratulations i managed to catch some of the last act anyhow you like that listen you had that x mathematician tied up and not said einstein couldn't figure it out arnold if i've waited this long i'm sure you can wait let me speak to the judge can't it i'd like to see the judge if he's free dan arnold i went to see george vogel this morning i'd appreciate it if you signed the preliminary papers he prepared for me don't you think we've had enough whipped up emotional nonsense for a while i'm divorcing you arnold nothing's going to change my mind i'm not sophisticated enough for the kind of marriage you seem to prefer it'll save us both a lot of unnecessary recrimination by signing the papers now your voice down is this what george vogel recommended the decision is my own i never asked his opinion will you tell george i'll send him a check for his modest labors but i'm not interested in a divorce right now a divorce might be rather clumsy professionally awkward besides you could leave me vulnerable to other romantic women and it's much more comfortable the way it is you can't mean that you might even find our arrangement a little less depressing if you try to develop a few romantic attachments of your own you could still be an attractive woman if you tried [Music] excuse me sorry 1947 in god we trust mr babcock please i was in the courtroom today and i i couldn't help but notice that i can see very well with my glasses if that's what you mean now that the cataracts are completely cured i'd hope to get back to teaching but i'm afraid after today there's no chance you know i tried so hard to explain my case but that man was much much too clever wasn't he i'm sure no one believed me by the time he was through thank you for your kindness man you parked here i'm parked here yes oh god i can't find a cab i wonder would you mind dropping me off at six and fern i think i could manage that oh fine i'll be right here i just want to pick up a paper you don't mind are you boy [Music] um [Music] officer i don't know how it happened except that he he stepped right in front of the car and when i tried to apply the breaker i somehow jammed the accelerator well it's got me george i'm telling you nobody seems to have seen what happened except this one fella here who was waiting for a bus would you mind giving me your version of how it happened sir well it must have been just as the lady described it you're going to have to take her word for it because it's a legal fact that i'm not a competent witness so you
