"Oh—well, that. Yes, if it matters, I remember she went first."
"Did you again tell her she ought to change her story?"
"I may have."
"Sergeant, I point out to you again, your memory under direct examination was excellent. You referred to your notebook, you repeated several remarks verbatim—to some of which the defense might have justifiably objected, if I had seen fit. Now—did you tell her a second time that she would get a better break if she changed this story which you say you didn't believe? Did you, Sergeant?"
"Yes, it's my recollection that I did."
"Did you suggest any other thing she might do that would, in your words, give her a better break?"
"Any other—I don't know what you mean."
"Then let me help your memory again. This conversation, when you repeated that she ought to change her story—did this conversation take place while you were going back to the living-room?"
"I—oh, I guess so."
"I'm asking for testimony, not guesswork. Did it, or not?"
