MR. NEELY: Witness, you remember your
grandmother very well, don't you?
WITNESS BERGNER: Yes, I do.
Q. And I guess from what you have told us that financially she had a
pretty hard time didn't she, taking care of you?
A. (No answer.)
Q. Witness, did you understand my question?
A. Yes.
Q.
Your grandmother was, shall we say, a little poor, wasn't she; was she not?
A. Yes, she was.
Q. But she was very good to you, wasn't she;
she looked after you as though you were her own child?
A. Yes, she did.
Q. And you would say she did everything to make things as comfortable for you
as she possibly could.
A. Yes, but she couldn't take care of me very
much.
Q. That is right; your grandfather was dead; isn't that correct?
A. Yes, that is right. |
