Mrs. Grant. I’ll tell you the truth, I was so shocked at the verdict, and before I knew it he was off—I was hanging on the phone there by myself.
Mr. Hubert. Did he indicate to you in any way who “they” were?
Mrs. Grant. No.
Mr. Hubert. Or who was going to kill him?
Mrs. Grant. No. Oh, now I want to tell you about—going back to Monday, which would be the 16th, there was conversation and, of course, I think I heard this Sunday too.
Mr. Hubert. That’s March 16?
Mrs. Grant. I think March 16 was on a Monday.
Mr. Hubert. That’s correct.
Mrs. Grant. But I may have heard this Sunday, that the sheriff—and there has been threats against Belli—and this is another thing I know, whether someone is on my phone and leaked it out—it wasn’t me, that the sheriff is going to give Belli a guard out of town, that he has been threatened, but I already knew that. Then, I got to thinking about all of this and I says, “I hope he leaves, I don’t want to have this on my mind,” but, I knew when I was in his suite of rooms—somebody called there Monday afternoon sometime and he went to the phone for a minute; as a rule someone else was answering the phone, and then he went in the bedroom there and he answered the phone. He had quite a suite of rooms—three rooms, I think, and the remark among the people there—they said the sheriff is going to give him a guard, you know, escort him out of town.
Mr. Hubert. You mean you heard that that afternoon.
