A* No. But I heard one when the next tenant, a newspaper reporter, lived there. He used a typewriter a great deal. Cross-Examination by the Prosecution Q. You said the walls were very thin. Could you hear your neighbors' voices? A* Yes, and they could hear ours, unless we spoke very low. Q. When did you hear the reporter typing? A* At home at night or during the weekends.
