“How far were you from that open door?”
“Oh, perhaps fifty feet.”
“Very well. Now tell the Court what you saw.”
“I saw Mrs. Newberry — that is, Mrs. Moar, the defendant in this action, the woman sitting over there — standing over her husband’s body. Her husband was stretched out on the deck, motionless.”
“And what did the defendant do?”
“She reached down and picked the body...”
“Now, when you say ‘body,’” Scudder interrupted, “you mean the same thing which you have previously referred to in your testimony as the motionless form of Mr. Moar lying there on the deck?”
“Yes, sir.”
“What did she do?”
“She put her hands under his armpits, half lifted him, and started to drag him toward the rail.”
