“And now, Mrs. Cheever, if you are quite calm I will proceed. I regret the necessity of asking these questions, but you were not compelled to come into court. You came of your own volition, did you not?”

“Yes.”

“Witnesses have testified and you have not denied that you arrived at the Viewcrest Inn late at night; that you saw the defendant register; that you and he went to the only room left; that the waiter left you together and found you together the next morning. You have heard that testimony, have you not?”

“Yes.”

“Knowing all this, do you still claim that your conduct was above reproach?”

“For discretion, no. I was foolish and indiscreet.”

“And that was all?”

“Yes.”

“You are innocent of the charge, then?”

“Yes.”
