Cross-Examination by the Prosecution
The prosecution believed it was unrealistic that Collier could remember the colors of these houses so many years later.
Q. What is the present color of the 30th Street house?
A* It has been yellow since 1947. Q. What was the color of the brick wall at Volta Place in 1938? A. Red—like bricks. Q. What makes you so sure?
A. I've worked on that house so many times. And I have worked in that area for thirty-one years. Q. Are you telling us you can remember the different colors of thousands of those houses? A. No. But I can remember a house we have been in so many times and worked on. I am just as confident that the wall was red as anything I know.
