Q. In other words, Father, the sermon that you preached, on which the main count of your indictment was based, was 15 months before your trial, and the Polish funeral was 2 or 3 months before your trial? Is that correct?
A. Well, the funeral of the Pole was in May 1942, and the trial took place in December 1942. That would be about 6 months.

Presiding Judge Marshall: Does any defense counsel desire to cross-examine this witness?

The President: You may proceed.
