(Testimony of Mrs. Donald Gibson)
Mrs. Gibson.
That is right.
Mr. Jenner.
From that conversation you became aware, had the impression that your father and your stepmother had had some prior acquaintance with these people?
Mrs. Gibson.
I think they just recently met them.
Mr. Jenner.
That was the impression?
Mrs. Gibson.
That was the impression I got.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you recall what day of the week--that is, not the particular date as such, but was it a weekday, a Saturday, or a Sunday?
Mrs. Gibson.
It was a weekday. Whether it was in the beginning of the week or the middle or the end I don't remember, but it was a weekday.
Mr. Jenner.
What time of day was it?
Mrs. Gibson.
Well, they called me the night before, but it was in the early morning of the next day.
Mr. Jenner.
That you met Marina?
Mrs. Gibson.
That I met Marina.
Mr. Jenner.
Did Marina come alone?
Mrs. Gibson.
No; my stepmother brought her and the child.
Mr. Jenner.
That was in the morning?
Mrs. Gibson.
In the morning; that is right.
Mr. Jenner.
Describe your apartment, will you please? How do you mean describe it?
Mr. Jenner.
How many rooms, living room, bedroom, two bedrooms,-kitchen, dinning room?
Mrs. Gibson.
Well, there are five rooms, I guess, in all.
Mr. Jenner.
And they consisted of?
Mrs. Gibson.
Living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. There was a small adjoining room to the bedroom but it wouldn't be classified as a whole room.
Mr. Jenner.
Sort of more of a dressing room?
Mrs. Gibson.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
For what purpose were you employing that room at that time?
Mrs. Gibson.
My child slept in that room.
Mr. Jenner.
Where did you folks, that is yourself and your husband, normally sleep?
Mrs. Gibson.
We slept in the living room.
Mr. Jenner.
That was your normal practice?
Mrs. Gibson.
That is right.
Mr. Jenner.
So that the bedroom you mentioned was not occupied?
Mrs. Gibson.
No; it wasn't.
Mr. Jenner.
It was not in use, rather, at the time that Marina stayed with you?
Mrs. Gibson.
No; it was used as a playroom really for my son Curtis.
Mr. Jenner.
Your stepmother brought Marina and the baby to your home?
Mrs. Gibson.
That is right.
Mr. Jenner.
Was your husband home at that time?
Mrs. Gibson.
No; I don't think so.
Mr. Jenner.
That is it was at a time when he would have departed for work?
Mrs. Gibson.
Yes; I believe he had already gone to work.
Mr. Jenner.
You said that Marina was to receive some dental care?
Mrs. Gibson.
That is right.
Mr. Jenner.
Did she remain in the apartment all day after she arrived?
Mrs. Gibson.
After she came back from the dentist, she stayed there, I think she had a tooth, one or two pulled, and she stayed there that afternoon, after she came back from the dentist.
Mr. Jenner.
Your stepmother brought her and then your stepmother took her to the dentist?
Mrs. Gibson.
That is right.
Mr. Jenner.
They returned?
Mrs. Gibson.
That is right.
Mr. Jenner.
That afternoon.
Mrs. Gibson.
That is right.
