and So" I don't think we would have heard anything from Mrs. Campbell
about that. The charge now is an accusation of aggressive incivility.
Mr. Forrest. I know.
Mrs. Campbell, how long did this telephone conversation last?
Several minutes I should say perhaps two or three.
What you have recorded here could not have occupied the whole of two
or three minutes?
It is quite impossible for me to remember every word that was said by
either of us I have recorded the gist of the conversation and the
remarks which stood out in my memory.
You were naturally impressed more by the offensive remarks than by the
inoffensive remarks?
I don't think there was anything said that was not offensive.
Did I not explain I could not deal with individual cases over the
telephone?
That is the implication made in the words you used.
Did I not ask you to write?
Yes, but the phrase you used was 'there is a postal service isn't
there'?
You are quite sure I did not before that ask you to write?
Q.
A.
I am quite sure.

The impression you got from my conversation was that I was anxious to
cease the telephone conversation as soon as possible?
Yes.
Q. Don't you think it strange that I should have said anything? I could
simply have said nothing at all if I was inclined to say nothing at all,
without in the least explaining why the telephone was not the proper
medium for communication.

Q.
A.
I don't understand that question.
If I wanted to be rude I could have banged the telephone down without
answering anything?
Yes. You did bang the telephone down.
Q. The fact that I answered at all must imply I said something to the
effect of explaining why the matter could not be dealt with over the
telephone?
A.
ur remarks were not at all helpful.
