in 1923 at Halifax?
Yes, I remember that.
Nine months hard labor
for stealing material and goods
in 1924 at Uxbridge?
Yes.
And three months
also at Uxbridge
for stealing a motorcar in 1933?
Yes, that's right.
Well, surely
four offenses for dishonesty.
Well, I-I -
I had an idea it was three.
I-I just didn't -
I just wasn't quite sure.
I see.
But what is perhaps
more important-
are there two other convictions
recorded against you?
Yes.
for violence
at Halifax in 1923?
Yes.
And the second when
you were sentenced to six months
for malicious wounding in 1929?
Yes.
Yes.
Do you appreciate
that the medical evidence
in this case
which has been called
is that
this woman was strangled?
I was informed of that.
Not killed by abortion,
of which there's no sign,
but by strangulation?
Yes.
Now...
a word about your character.
What were you doing
I was in the army
Fighting for your country?
Yes. I-I was gassed twice.
I was blinded for three months,
and I never spoke
for 3 1/2 years.
The last time you were
in trouble with the police
for any offense was in 1933,
was it?
Yes.
17 years ago.
Yes.
In this last war,
in spite of your disabilities,
you served
in the war reserve police
for many years.
Is that right?
Yes, I did,
and I was commended
on two occasions.
Thank you, Mr. Christie.
What are you doing?
I'm going to sleep
in the front room.
Front room?
On the sofa from now on.
What's that in aid of?
Nothing, it's just that
I'm not sleeping very well,
that's all.
Now, it is you who voluntarily
go to the police
on the 30th of November
after hearing about the telegram
which your aunt had received
from Mr. Thorley,
your wife's father?
That's right.
It was because
your previous lies were exposed
by the telegram
that you decided to go
to the police, was it?
It wasn't because of the lies.
Then why did you suddenly
go to the police?
Well... I was getting worried
about my daughter.
Are you saying that seriously
to the jury -
that you go to the police
and confess to murder
because you're worried
about your daughter?
There is no confession
of murder.
He said,
I have disposed of my wife.
I have put her down the drain.
It sounds very like murder.
All he said was he had put her -
it might well be her body -
down the drain.
You made a statement
to the police,
and this is the first you made -
Exhibit 6 -
in which you talk
of meeting a man in a caf,
and of how your wife
took these pills
and died of them
and you found her dead.
You remember that statement?
Yes, I remember that statement.
That is untrue?
That is untrue, yes.
You then made a statement
in which you set out
in some detail
how Mr. Christie
gave your wife something
and she died of that.
Do you remember that one?
Yes, I remember that one, too.
Is that one true or untrue?
That is true.
Then you made a statement
in which you confess
to murdering your wife
and your child.
Is that true or untrue?
I was told
of my daughter's death
before I made that one.
True or untrue?
I-It is true I made the statement.
Is the statement true or untrue?
Untrue.
So then that is
the second statement
you have made to the police,
in some detail, which is untrue?
Yes.
So would it not be right to say
that you are a person
who's prepared to lie,
or tell the truth,
at your own convenience?
Well, why should I tell lies?
My life is at stake here.
Now...
we have shown that your story
about Mr. Christie
giving your wife an abortion
is nonsense.
You are the person
who alleges Mr. Christie
is the murderer in this case.
Can you suggest why
he should have strangled
your wife?
Well... he was...
home all day.
Can you suggest why
he should have strangled
your wife?
No, I can't.
Can you suggest why
he should have strangled
your daughter?
No.
I didn't do it, Auntie.
Christie done it.
I didn't even know
the baby was dead
to Notting Hill.
Well, Christie said
she was in East Acton.
Get Christie -
Get him here to see me.
He's the only one
who can help me now.
Timothy John Evans...
the court has found you guilty
of willful murder,
and the sentence of the court
upon you
is that you be taken
from this place
to a lawful prison,
and thence to a place
of execution,
and there you will suffer death
by hanging.
And that your body be buried
within the precincts
of the prison
last confined
before your execution.
And may the Lord have mercy
on your soul.
Amen.
The one thing
that sticks in my mind
is I'm in for something
I haven't done, sir.
You must remember, Evans,
that we're not here to go into
the rights and wrongs
of your case.
This is purely a medical board.
Yes, I know that, sir.
See... Christie done it.
You confessed at Notting Hill.
Why was that?
Well, I had nothing else
to worry about
when I knew my daughter
was dead.
Why do you think your daughter
was killed?
Well... to be out of the way,
wasn't it?
I see.
Any further questions?
No.
All right, thank you.
Come along then.
B-But Christie done it!
I say Christie done it!
All right, all right.
Well, I don't know -
He's not
an unpleasing little fellow.
Oh, no.
Primitive sort of creature,
but nothing abnormal-
medically speaking.
Rather meet than average
I thought.
Yes.
Nothing very much at all,
really.
Certainly no medical grounds
for a reprieve.
Oh!
Supper's in the meat safe.
I should have thought
you could have got it
for yourself.
I'm going to bed now.
I'm going to Sheffield
in the morning.
Sheffield?
To stay with Jessy and Bob.
You can't just leave me here.
I-I can't stand Jessy,
you know that.
She talks too much.
What am I meant to do then?
We've no friends.
Not a soul set foot
in this house
for two years nearly.
Not since the Evanses.
We've no money -
You haven't worked since
I don't know when.
I can't work, can I?
Not with my back and everything.
The doctor says
I should be in hospital.
What's that supposed to mean?
You know what I mean.
Ohh.
Ohh.
You don't mind, do you?
It's migraine.
Hmm.
I get these terrible headaches.
Very unpleasant,
very unpleasant.
Mind you, um...
medically speaking, of course,
it's a very interesting
condition -
syndrome as we call it.
You're not a doctor, are you?
Well, now how did you know that?
Well, I should say I was.
Was?
Yes, I, um...
a lady friend -
I expect you understand.
You know how it is.
Oh, yes.
Oh, dear.
Can I get you another cup
of tea?
No, thanks.
Are you sure?
Yes, well, of course, uh,
they won't do you any good,
mind.
What does, though?
Ah, well,
if only I was free to, uh...
