Mrs. Rich. This is an expression used in that particular trade.
Mr. Hubert. What you mean is——
Mrs. Rich. He taught me how to be a prostitute, obtained dates for me, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. I married into a very respectable family. I come from a respectable family. And I came here today all set on any question such as this to take the fifth amendment, or just refuse to answer.
Mr. Hubert. Well, ma’am, let the record show that a moment ago, when you said you would rather not go into this, you were not pressed into going into it, but you said you wished to do so, is that correct?
Mrs. Rich. That is not correct.
Mr. Hubert. What was the situation?
Mrs. Rich. Why did I do it?
Mr. Hubert. No; why did you tell us about this?
Mrs. Rich. I am sorry. Change my statement from that is not correct to that is correct.
Mr. Hubert. That is to say a moment ago—let me get this clear—when you said that is a matter you did not want to go into, you will agree with me, will you not, that I did not pursue the matter, but that you then said “I might as well tell you” and proceeded to do so.
