British lawyers usually treat: Hannam gently in cross-examina- tion. Lawrence. apparently. had decided to be tough. 1 LONG QUESTION -.

The defence lawyer asked Han-. nam a long. involved question. .

"The answer to the first part of your question is 'yes' said thet detective. "and the answer to the second part is too!"

The barrister changed the sub- ject and asked the Scotland Yard man about statements Adams In alleged to have made when charged with Mrs. Morrell's murder. 1

"Actually." said Lawrence rais- ing his voice and staring at the detective. "Dr. Adams gave you only is few casual answers."

"No. sir. ” boomed the sIeuth.. "He was most loquaciousl He was! dogmatic. . . ."

Lawrence tried to halt the detec- tive. 1 ''He was a very. very shaken

man. He was distressed. . .

"Very well. very well." out in the barrister, hoping to shut Han-p nam up. ?

"1 want to help you all 1 can. sir." smiled the detective.

"Dr. Adams and his reception- lst grasped hands." said the do- tective. "and Dr. Adams said. it'll see you in heaven.'”

Lawrence diaagroed and denied the doctor ever used the words- ”see you in heaven."

"But he did. sir." insisted Han- nam. "They were his very words. You must allow me to be exact about these things. I prefer them to be accurate."

Lawrence asked Hannam to whom the physician addressed the words-"I'll see you in heaven."

As the detective sought to reply, the defence lawyer said:

"Were they addressed to police officers"

The detective raised his eye- brows, wrinkled his sharp nose and replied with an air of condes- cension:

"1 should not think that for a moment. sir."

Lawrence shrugged his should- ers and said he had no more ques- tions to ask.

As the immaculately dressed sleuth left the witness box. the crowd of barristers who had come from other cases to hear the de- tective, smiled and whispered to one another.

The ability of prestrcssed con- crete to withstand terrific strainy
