by Sr. Member Roger Webster, Our Arizona War Correspondent
Another fine day in Az. Temp is 62 degrees, cloudy and continued lousy weather until next Tuesday. Visited Pima Air Museum in Tucson yesterday where they park over 7000 aircraft (mostly military jets) and helicopters in the desert. Some are being chopped up for scrap, i.e., B-52's. Row after row of your tax dollars at work. Busy with the local Kiwanis Club with flea markets and Shots for Tots. Next month being interviewed by one of the Builders Clubs at a local school on the KOREAN WAR. Sorry you fellows can't be there. I will try to save a few stories for you.

The following questions from lawyers were taken from official court records nationwide.
Q: Was that the same nose you broke as a child?
Q: Now, doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, in most cases he just passes quietly away and doesn't know anything about it until the next morning?
Q: What happened then? A: He told me, he says, "I have to kill you because you can identify me." Q: Did he kill you?
Q: Was it you or your brother that was killed in the war?
Q: The youngest son, the 20-year-old, how old is he?
Q: Were you alone or by yourself?
Q: How long have you been a French Canadian?
Q: Do you have any children or anything of that kind?
Q: I show you exhibit 3 and ask you if you recognize that picture. A: That's me. Q: Were you present when that picture was taken?
Q: 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?
Q: So you were gone until you returned?
Q: She had three children, right? A: Yes. Q: How many were boys? A: None. Q: Were there girls?
Q: You don't know what it was, and you didn't know what it looked like, but can you describe it?
Q: You say that the stairs went down to the basement? A: Yes. Q: And these stairs, did they go up also?
Q: Have you lived in this town all your life? A: Not yet.
A Texas attorney, realizing he was on the verge of unleashing a stupid question, interrupted himself and said, "Your Honor, I'd like to strike the next question."
Q: Were you acquainted with the defendant? A: Yes, sir. Q: Before or after he died?
Judge: Now, as we begin, I must ask you to banish all present information from your minds, if you have any.
Q: When he went, had you gone and had she,if she wanted to and were able, for the time being excluding all the restraints on her not to go, gone also, would he have brought you, meaning you and she, with him to the station? Opposing attorney: Objection. That question should be taken out and shot.
Q: What is your relationship with the plaintiff? A: She is my daughter. Q: Was she your daughter on February 13, 1979?
Q: Now, you have investigated other murders, have you not, where there was a victim?
Q: Do you recall approximately the time that you examined the body of Mr. Edington at the Rose Chapel? 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: "Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?" A: "No." Q: "Did you check for blood pressure?" A: "No." Q: "Did you check for breathing?" A: "No." Q: "So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?" A: "No." Q: "How can you be so sure, Doctor? A: "Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar." Q: "But could the patient have still been alive nevertheless?" A: "It is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere."
