Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Miss Lee leans forward from her seat in the witness stand. Judge Burnell is fixated on something that he is writing, as is the court stenographer, who is seated at a lamp lit table in front of Miss Lee. Another unidentified man sits in the foreground, his chair facing the witness stand and his back facing the camera. Miss Lee, former housekeeper of the deceased Ray Raymond, is put on the witness stand to ask whether or not she can recognize Paul Kelly's handwriting.
