Chapter 83 chapter 2

I heard about Sunny in Europe.At that time, I was writing a book there and recuperating from illness.The doctor said that my liver is not good and I also suffer from phlebitis.I don't doubt at all that Sunny made a fool of herself... Later I heard that Cross was in trouble. I'm not the only one... However, no one is willing to stand up and defend Klos. Professor Aaron Dershowitch pleaded: "We need you to appear in court, Mr Capote, as the prosecution asserted in their concluding remarks that Cross was the only person at Clarendon who used the syringe and that 'no one saw Using a syringe by Madame von Prowes'..."

"But, Professor," the writer interrupted, "say Sunny, and I will implicate myself. You know my popularity, you know my novels are included in high school textbooks. If those readers, those influenced by me The most profound literary youths know that the generation of masters they admire is actually a drug addict, and that my novels and dramas are all written with stimulants, wouldn’t it ruin my reputation?” It was not until 1984, before Truman Capote died, that he finally signed and notarized his above testimony.However, because there is no evidence for the death, the prosecution cannot cross-take evidence from the witnesses, and the judge does not allow this "one-sided statement" to be submitted to the court.

Another busy day. When Klose von Prowes first came to the Dershowitz home, the professor said: "Welcome to the 'Dershowitz Law Firm'." The "lou" is a two-story residential building, which is filled to the brim with twenty or so young people.The professor gave directions along the way, using a language that only the person concerned could understand: "Dining room: insulin; living room: Kool's transcript; study room: medical demonstration." The professor pushed open the door of the study room and closed it immediately, "They are sleeping. Let's go upstairs... ...the black leather case, the court records..."

Cross was invited by Professor Dershowich to participate in the "Three Trials", which started at two o'clock in the afternoon, and the location was in the living room on the first floor. At first, no one spoke, and Cross made a joke out of himself: "For a wife who lacks everything and has everything she wants, what should you give her? ... The answer is—— a needle Insulin." The atmosphere suddenly became lively. David Fine was the first to ask: "December 27, 1979, the day Sunny first fell into a coma, why didn't you call the doctor?" "Sonny hated the doctor, hated the hospital. She almost never called the doctor herself. I did it for her, and there was always a lot of complaints afterwards. After she woke up from that coma, guess what she told me first. What is a sentence? 'Why don't you let me die?!' On January 2, she threatened the hospital with a hunger strike to force her to leave the hospital. So I said to Maria: 'And Mrs. von Prow It is not easy for such a woman to marry and live.'”

"Does she drink a lot?" "Very little, only in social situations, or... when we fight. Besides, she smokes an average of three packs a day and, as she puts it, takes aspirin like a child eats M&Ms. " "By the way, we asked the forensic doctor about the aspirin poisoning. They said that the aspirin content in Sunny's blood was comparable to that of a suicide. Why did she commit suicide?" After several urgings, Cross replied: "She may be in a bad mood." "Is it related to your affair?" "Actually, Sunny knew about it as early as the summer of 1979."

"How do you know? Tell me about the situation at that time in detail." This time it was Professor Dershowitch who interjected. "We went to a dance, and Sunny had a great time. You know, chances like that don't come along very often. When the foxtrot was over, and we went out in the garden to get some air, I said, 'My dear, there's something about the relationship between us. Gentlemen's agreement, I recently met a nice girl named Alisanne Essel...' 'I'd rather you find one*,' interrupted Sunny, 'this is Alisanne Howle, she Is it *?' A... a very nasty, very sinister tone. The conversation stopped there. From then on, I never mentioned it to her again."
