Mr. Ball. How long after?

Miss Burns. I imagine maybe it was 25 minutes. I imagine it was the policeman or somebody; of course, I don't know who it was.

Mr. Ball. I think that's all, Miss Burns. This will be written up and you can sign it; you can read it and sign it or you can waive your signature if you wish and you won't have to come back here. Which would you rather do?

Miss Burns. I can waive signature if that is all right.

Mr. Ball. Fine, thank you very much, Miss Burns.
