"Yeah," Callista said under her breath, "we just sat there." She leaned a little against Cecil's shoulder, weary, suddenly desiring sleep above all things, yet touched and curiously disturbed by the Old Man's harmless, rather pleasant smell of shaving lotion, soap, tobacco. Drowsily she thought: _He's really nothing like my father._ "What happened, in your presence, after Chief Gage and the others arrived at Miss Blake's apartment?" "Well, Miss Blake was briefly questioned by Chief Gage and yourself. It covered the same things I'd talked about with her. She was asked by Chief Gage about a photograph and a couple of letters that I found in a desk in her bedroom." "She was not at that time under arrest, was she?" "No, sir, she was not. I recall that Chief Gage quite formally asked her permission to look around the apartment, and she gave it." "Please describe those items, the photograph and the letters." "The photograph was a snapshot of a man in swimming trunks, taken at some beach or other, and the name 'Jimmy' was written on the back--just the name, nothing else. One of the letters, dated July 5, 1959, was signed 'J', and Miss Blake, when shown it, identified it as one written to her by Mr. James Doherty of Shanesville. The other one, bearing no date and not signed--in fact not finished--was identified by Miss Blake as one that she had started to write to Mr. Doherty, but had never mailed." "Was Miss Blake questioned about those letters, there at her apartment?" "Not much then, sir. She identified Mr. Doherty as the husband of the Mrs. Doherty who had been found dead in Shanesville. Chief Gage asked her to explain the relation between herself and Mr. Doherty, and she said without any show of emotion--with a shrug, as a matter of fact--she said: 'Oh, he was my sweetheart for a little while, a summertime amusement.'" She saw T. J. Hunter, relaxed and thoughtful, walk to the prosecution's table and spend a weary time standing there, brooding at the small papers he had taken up. Callista closed her eyes. "If it please the Court, I will offer these two letters and photograph for admission in evidence, but, if they are accepted, I will have the letters read to the jury somewhat later, to make a more orderly presentation. For the present I merely wish to establish their identification by Sergeant Rankin."
