Judge Garey said,It would seem to me, Mr. Mason, that you have already explored the possibilities of the situation. Well, he seemed to think that Max went and got himself killed on purpose, you know what I mean? He said he was sorry and all that, but he kinda hurried over it. What he was really interested in was how we were gonna replace Max. I told him Id work on it and then he wanted to know if Id heard from you on account of maybe youd have some ideas. Is it always this exciting around here? Jenna asked. To tell you the truth, Judge, the witness said, the more I get to thinking of it, the more I feel that maybe shewas one of those two women I picked up out there on La Brea. Ive been sitting here watching her, the way she holds her head and... well, it could have been. Legal representation. Gloster, starting to present his position at length, was interrupted by Mason saying suavely to the Court,And, of course, Your Honor, the Court itself will notice the tactics of the prosecution in trying to suppress evidence. Nice place, said Devine. Oh. Miss Foster. The smile remained but the voice bore a hint of concern. Shes been in surgery for the past three hours. Im afraid she still is.’ Theres more to it than that, of course. When Abby came in I told her about the recording and asked her to deliver the copy Id made to Wades office. Then we devised between us how the contents of the recording, which had four references to the friendship between Showalter and Dorsey, would be leaked to the press in time for the debate tonight. Mason said,By the time Hamilton Burger gets him in front of a jury, hell have changed his story all around. But well have this transcript on which we can impeach him, and that will keep his testimony somewhat in line. After hes thought it over, he’ll state that, giving the matter second thought,he feels that you probably were one of the two women who got in the taxicab later on in the evening and that you also were the one whom he took to the Union Station. He had locked the ignition and had taken the keys in with him when he went in. Believe me, he wasnt taking any chances on having me take his car and drive off and leave him out there. He was after information. He wanted to know what I know about that stock that he didnt know, and minutes were precious to him. He was planning on making some more stock purchases this evening if he could. I told him and when I was finished I said,Slick? You were naturally suspicious, Lydia. I would have been, too. Oh, sure, Mason told him. Im going to be right with you in the thing, but you were the one to discover it, and youll be the one to report it. You went to work for Hundermark when? Yeah? How do we do that? Shoot first and think about it later?.
