SCARFF, 7 having been previously duly sworn, testified 8 further as follows: 9 10 EXAMINATION (CONTINUING) 11 BY MR. BOWLES: 12 Q. Good morning, Mr. Scarff. 13 A. Good morning. 14 MR. BOWLES: Good morning, Mr. Calhoun. 15 MR. CALHOUN: Good morning, Counsel. 16 BY MR. BOWLES: 17 Q. Mr. Scarff, I want to go back and 18 take a look at Exhibit-9 and have you read a 19 portion of your direct testimony on the 20 circumstances under which this was signed. 21 Starting at Page 9 70, at Line 23 and continuing 22 to the next page, this is 970 at Line 23. And if 23 you want, you can take a look at the context above 24 it. It is talking about how Mr. Ingram was 25 reading over the phone information that you had 2554 1 supposedly given him. 2 And then talking about the timing of 3 the next day's events. So if you could read to 4 the next page at Line 18 to begin with. 5 Mr. Calhoun, I will pass these to you 6 to pass to the witness. 7 MR. CALHOUN: Thank you, Counsel. 8 BY MR. BOWLES: 9 Q. Did you want to see some pages in 10 front of that? 11 A. No. This is fine. 12 "A. And that was it for the 13 night. We went home -- he went 14 home approximately midnight to 15 12:30 in the morning. I had to 16 be at work the next day. He 17 called me at 12:30 in the 18 afternoon and said that I needed 19 to come by the motel room around 20 two o'clock because the 21 information that he had 22 transcribed down to Bowles & 23 Moxon was being published or 24 being prepared. I am sorry. 25 And it was going to be mailed to 2555 1 him. I guess he said overnight 2 mail so it would come to him the 3 night after. And that's what 4 happened. 5 "I went to the Red Lion 6 Hotel at approximately two 7 o'clock and he said I would have 8 to wait a while because the 9 declarations had not yet 10 arrived. At approximately 2:15 11 there was a knock on the door. 12 It was Gwen Mayfield with a 13 bunch of envelopes and he opened 14 the envelopes and they were 15 these prepared declarations that 16 you see in the exhibits." 17 Q. Thanks. I am going to hand you the 18 next page and have you read from that page, 972, 19 Line 2 to 973, Line 6. 20 A. "Q. Mr. Scarff, I think 21 you just testified that at 2:15 22 Gwen Mayfield came to the hotel 23 room, correct? 24 "A. That's correct. 25 "Q. What happened next? 2556 1 "A. She handed him an 2 envelope, actually two envelopes 3 which had the declarations in 4 them. And when I asked him how 5 he got these declarations so 6 fast he said that they had been 7 typed by the law firm in Los 8 Angeles and then mail packed the 9 same night back to him. And 10 that they were prepared for 11 signature but that he had to 12 wait a few minutes because he 13 had called a notary public to 14 come to the motel room and that 15 he wanted me to hurry up within 16 the 20 minutes that I had to 17 read through all these 18 declarations and sign them and 19 then the notary public would 20 sign off on it. 21 "The notary public was a 22 few minutes late. So around 23 2:30 the notary public told 24 Mr. Ingram that it was usually 25 in her knowledge of something 2557 1 like that when I signed onto a 2 document I had to review it 3 first before signing it because 4 Eugene tried to talk the notary 5 public into going ahead and 6 signing them before my 7 signature. And that he was 8 willing to pay her extra if she 9 would simply go ahead and sign 10 them and stamp them and write 11 'commission' on them before I 12 had a chance to testify myself 13 and sign them because he was in 14 a hurry to get it done." 15 Q. So it continues there and there is 16 back and forth about the conversation between you 17 and Mr. Ingram. And then I would like you to 18 read -- and you can look at these pages that are 19 interceding, but the page I would like you to read 20 is on 975 starting at Line 10 and going to the end 21 of the page. 22 Do you want to see the prior pages? 23 A. No. 24 "Q. Now, what happened next? 25 "A. I didn't have time 2558 1 to review them. I only had ten 2 minutes. Because the notary 3 public was not going to accede 4 to Mr. Ingram's demands I went 5 ahead and I didn't give him any 6 argument. I just went ahead and 7 signed them as fast as I could. 8 "Q. Why did you do that? 9 "A. Because I only had 10 ten minutes in which to do it. 11 He said the notary public was 12 here. I needed to go to work 13 and I had one of two options: I 14 could sit there and review and 15 read this and be late for work 16 and possibly lose my job or I 17 could go ahead and sign these 18 and take off to work and let the 19 things fall where they may." 20 Q. So of the testimony that you have 21 read back so far, is there any portion of that 22 that was an inaccurate transcription? 23 A. No, Mr. Bowles, it is the best of my 24 recollection of what happened at that time. 25 Q. At that time you mean in the 2559 1 deposition when Mr. Berry was asking you the 2 questions? 3 A. That is the best I can reflect that 4 happened at that time. 5 Q. It is your testimony then that you 6 arrived at this hotel room at 2:15? 7 A. Approximately 2:15. In or around 8 that time, yes. 9 Q. And you were in the hotel room for 10 how long? 11 A. I would say approximately until 2:40 12 because I had to be on the floor at 2:45. 13 Q. Let's back up a second. I think your 14 testimony is what Gwen Mayfield arrived at 2:15 15 and you arrived around 2:00. 16 A. I arrived before Gwen Mayfield did, 17 yes. Because I was sitting in the motel room with 18 the notary public came in and we waited. And then 19 Gwen showed up with the envelopes. And that's the 20 way it happened. 21 Q. So you went to the Red Lion at 22 approximately 2:00 P.M. 23 A. It was around that time, yes. He 24 told me to show up around 2:00. He said the 25 papers would already be there. 2560 1 Q. When did the notary show up? 2 A. I don't recall exactly when she 3 showed up. But it was after I had shown up. 4 Q. Before or after Ms. Mayfield showed 5 up? 6 A. It was before she had shown up. And 7 then Gwen showed up, I believe that's how it 8 happened. 9 Q. So at approximately 2:15 then 10 Ms. Mayfield comes with some envelopes; is that 11 right? 12 A. I am only guessing here. I remember 13 how it happened, but as far as the specific times 14 are concerned, I don't remember. I do recall it 15 was between 2:00 and 2:45 simply because I had to 16 be on the floor at 2:45. 17 Q. So what is your best estimate as to 18 how many minutes you were in the hotel room before 19 Gwen Mayfield showed up with the affidavits? 20 A. Probably 40 minutes when I was 21 actually in the motel room, but when Gwen showed 22 up, probably 10, 15 minutes is my best estimate. 23 Q. Ten minutes after you arrived she 24 arrived? 25 A. No. She arrived around 2:15. And 2561 1 then Eugene opened the envelopes and went through 2 the declarations to make sure everything was 3 there. Make sure all the pages were there and 4 then handed them to me and said that I needed to 5 initial each page and I had to sign them in front 6 of the notary public. 7 Q. So how many minutes after Gwen 8 Mayfield arrive did Mr. Ingram hand these 9 affidavits to you? 10 A. I don't recall. 11 Q. What is your best estimate? 12 A. I would be guessing here and say 10 13 minutes. 14 Q. Was it any more than 10 minutes, it 15 could have been 15? 16 A. Like I say I am speculating here. I 17 am just guessing. 18 Q. Did he go through the entire set of 19 declarations and pass them to you as a set? 20 A. I know he went through each page. He 21 wanted to make sure all the pages were there. I 22 saw him reviewing each page. 23 Q. How many declarations were there, if 24 you recall? 25 A. Four. One was a general 2562 1 declaration. One was focused on Bob Brandyberry. 2 Another focused on Adrian and Anne Greek and the 3 other one was focused on Ford Greene. 4 Q. So again there was one large one and 5 then three derivative declarations; is that a fair 6 statement? 7 A. Yes. 8 Q. So the question is, did he go through 9 each one of the four, set them aside in a pile and 10 then pass you the entire pile? 11 A. No. In fact, he was standing up at 12 the TV at the time and he just went through them 13 as I recall. He was standing up and reviewing 14 them. Because the notary public and I were 15 sitting at the table next to the window. 16 Q. When he finished one did he pass it 17 to you or did he wait until he finished -- 18 A. No, he went through all four of them 19 first. 20 Q. So how much time did you have when he 21 handed them to you until the time you had to leave 22 the room to read and sign these declarations? 23 A. My best estimate would be 10 24 minutes. 25 Q. So I want to get something straight 2563 1 here. On Page 972 your testimony is that the 2 notary public was a few minutes late. In fact the 3 way you testified before Mr. Berry was you related 4 Ms. Mayfield coming at 2:15 describing the 5 envelopes that she passed you in the process? 6 A. See didn't pass them to me. She 7 passed them to Mr. Ingram at the door. 8 Q. She didn't come in the room? 9 A. No. No. I saw her at the corridor. 10 I was sitting in the chair. 11 Q. So the envelopes got passed into the 12 room. Then you testified to Mr. Berry that the 13 notary public was a few minutes late. So around 14 2:30 the notary public told 15 Mr. Ingram. 16 A. Again, I am just speaking from my 17 recollection. And I am doing the best I can 18 here. I don't see what it has to do with any of 19 this, but to the best of my recollection, that's 20 what happened. 21 Q. Which? 22 A. And I stand by that. As I have said 23 before, I have already stated, Counselor, to the 24 best of my recollection what happened. If you 25 want to drill me on that, that's fine. But I have 2564 1 answered to the best of my recollection. I don't 2 see the point of constantly addressing it over and 3 over again so I am not going to. I have asked and 4 answered that. And I appreciate it if you would 5 move on. 6 Q. When you state here that the notary 7 public was a few minutes late and you state that 8 after the envelopes are passed into the room, 9 which is it? 10 A. Counselor, I said again to the best 11 of my memory, and the record speaks for itself. 12 We have already addressed this at least three 13 different days. I have told you to the best of my 14 recollection what happened. It is on the record. 15 The record speaks for itself. 16 Q. The record is contradictory. I am 17 trying to get it straight. 18 MR. CALHOUN: Objection, misstates the 19 record. Counsel's characterization is inaccurate. 20 THE WITNESS: Yes. It is your 21 characterization because all of my testimony you 22 claim is contradictory and a lie. So I don't know 23 why you want to go on. If you think it is a lie 24 what is the point of asking me questions over and 25 over again on the same topic which I have already 2565 1 answered? So I am not going to talk about it any 2 more. 3 BY MR. BOWLES: 4 Q. So you arrived at 2:00? 5 A. Asked and answered. 6 Q. Gwen Mayfield showed up ten minutes 7 later and you had 10 minutes to read these 8 declarations; is that right? 9 A. Asked and answered, Counsel. 10 Q. Your prior testimony has all been 11 truthful, hasn't it? 12 A. Yes, to the best of my recollection. 13 Q. Let's take a look at Exhibit-3. 14 A. I don't have Exhibit-3. 15 Q. This is Page 206. The statement you 16 made under oath to Mr. Leipold on September 11, 17 1992. See there at 206, Mr. Scarff, you are 18 talking about the night before and 19 Mr. Ingram calling -- 20 A. It doesn't address that. 206 doesn't 21 address that. It addresses the fact that he was 22 on my -- he accompanied me on my shift. 23 Q. Last line, take a look there and on 24 to the next page. So that's your testimony there 25 about how he came to your apartment and read the 2566 1 material over the phone? 2 A. Yes. 3 Q. So read for the record, please, from 4 Line 16 of Page 207 to Line 18 of the following 5 page. 6 A. "Q. How do you know that 7 the person was at Bowles & 8 Moxon' office? 9 "A. He told me he was 10 going to telephone Bowles & 11 Moxon, that they were writing it 12 up four hours on the telephone 13 transcribing his notes to this 14 person and he told me that he 15 was going to take a taxi back to 16 the motel which he did. He said 17 'Tomorrow when you come to work 18 why don't you come in at noon -- 19 because I started work at ten 20 o'clock. He said, 'Why don't 21 you come in at noon because by 22 that time I should have the 23 affidavits.' 24 "I said 'What do you 25 mean?' He said, 'They are going 2567 1 to type them up tonight,' and 2 then I don't remember whether he 3 said he was going to teletype 4 them or fax them up to Portland 5 and they were going to retype 6 it. But he said the affidavits 7 would be prepared and ready for 8 your signature and that 9 Scientology would get it to the 10 motel to him. 11 "And I got a telephone 12 call the next morning from 13 Eugene saying, 'Why don't you 14 come in at 12:30 or 12:45 15 because it is taking a little 16 bit longer to get the affidavits 17 to you.' 18 "I went there at 12:45 19 and we waited because the 20 affidavits were not there yet. 21 Around 1:15 Gwen Mayfield came 22 to the motel and delivered to 23 him not only one big general 24 affidavit but three other 25 affidavits which were supposed 2568 1 to focus on the criminal 2 activities of Ford Greene, 3 specifically Bob Brandyberry and 4 Cynthia Kisser specifically. So 5 there are actually four 6 affidavits." 7 Q. Thank you. So which is it? 8 A. So which is what? 9 Q. Which is it, did you get there at 10 12:45 or get there at 2:00? 11 A. Mr. Bowles, as I have said before, as 12 far as the time is concerned, the best of my 13 recollection was two o'clock. If it was 12:30, 14 12:45, 1:15 or even eight o'clock in the morning I 15 don't recall. To the best of my recollection 16 that's when it occurred. 17 Q. So which is the true testimony? 18 A. Mr. Bowles, I don't think black and 19 white, true or false like you. That's your own 20 paranoid personality that that comes from. As I 21 have said before I don't recall the specific 22 times. To the best of my recollection it was 23 around 2:00 to 2:30, 2:45, because I went to work 24 right afterwards. 25 I also advised Eugene Ingram at this 2569 1 time that it was against policy for Red Lion 2 employees to go into the motel and meet people 3 because I was breaking the rules to go do that. 4 Q. Strike as non-responsive. 5 A. It is responsive and it is true. In 6 fact I can quote Red Lion policy in the future. 7 Q. That wasn't my question. 8 A. I have answered the question. 9 Q. Is it a false statement that Gwen 10 Mayfield arrived at 1:15 in the afternoon with the 11 affidavits? 12 A. Mr. Bowles, you have asked that 13 before. 14 Q. No, I have not. 15 A. You have asked it before and I have 16 answered it to the best of my recollection. I'm 17 going to say asked and answered. I am not going 18 on to move on further. 19 Q. Which is the true statement, that you 20 arrived at 2:15 or 1:15? 21 A. Mr. Bowles, this is harassment by you 22 and I refuse to be a part of it. Asked and 23 answered. 24 Q. So you are refusing to answer the 25 question? 2570 1 A. Asked and answered, Counselor. 2 Q. When you stated under oath to 3 Mr. Leipold on September 11, 1992 that Gwen 4 Mayfield arrived at 1:15 in the afternoon, was 5 that a false statement? 6 A. No, it wasn't. As I said before it 7 doesn't make it false simply because I misspoke or 8 I don't remember something. 9 Q. You had an opportunity to correct 10 that transcript, didn't you? 11 A. Mr. Bowles, at 9 o'clock on October 12 26th I went into a recording office to sit down 13 with a transcript. I was given an hour and a half 14 to correct it and sign it. I hurried up and I did 15 the best I could under the circumstances. I was 16 not able to sit down and sit calmly with a cup of 17 coffee in my hand and review it word for word as 18 you have. I was given an hour and a half to do 19 it. I did it to the best I could. If I happened 20 to miss a few things, which I did, and the facts 21 will corroborate that, although you have chosen to 22 misrepresent them, twist them for your own agenda, 23 that's your business, sir. I think the courts are 24 smart enough to see through your 25 misrepresentation. 2571 1 Q. Now you are saying that you were in a 2 hurry on the correction statements? 3 A. No, sir. Those are your words. You 4 have mischaracterized that now I have saying this 5 and now I am saying that. Mr. Bowles, you are a 6 liar. You have misrepresented my testimony 7 throughout this deposition. You are not going to 8 do it any more. 9 Q. I am sorry it makes you 10 uncomfortable. 11 A. What makes me uncomfortable is that 12 an attorney who has a law degree in California and 13 practices law can use his office and compromise 14 his position and compromise his -- ever element of 15 the legal profession to misrepresent himself in a 16 law deposition. You are a fraud, you are a liar, 17 and it is going to catch up to you. It is going 18 to come back to haunt you. 19 Q. Are you going let me ask the 20 question, Mr. Scarff? 21 A. Are you upset now? Is this 22 uncomfortable for you, Mr. Bowles? 23 Q. It is uncomfortable when you refuse 24 to answer questions because we are going to have 25 to go back to court and get you ordered to answer 2572 1 these questions. So why don't we just answer 2 them. 3 A. Mr. Bowles, you have asked it, I have 4 answered it. You have already filed two exparte 5 applications in court. They have both been 6 dismissed. They have caught on to you. If you 7 want to go to court, go for it. I am not 8 obstructing here but I have a right to stand up 9 for myself when you have asked questions over and 10 over and over again. It was asked. I answered it 11 to the best of my knowledge, to the best of my 12 recollection. It happened a long time ago. 13 Now, if you want to interrogate me on 14 something I simply don't remember fully about, 15 that's your business. But I don't have to sit 16 here and take all your bullshit over a question 17 which I have already answered to the best of my 18 knowledge. 19 Q. The question is are you now claiming 20 you were in a hurry when you filled out the 21 correction statements, which I guess is 22 Exhibit-195, I may have that wrong, the correction 23 statement for the transcript of September 11, 24 1992? 25 A. No, sir, I am not, quote, now, 2573 1 unquote, claiming that I have done anything. It 2 is the truth. You can verify with the court 3 reporting service in Portland, Oregon, if you 4 wish, about the time frame I had in which to 5 review and correct it. Corroborate with them, you 6 can do that. But I am not, quote, unquote, now 7 claiming anything. Those are your words. Those 8 are your mischaracterizes. And I am not going to 9 put up with it. 10 Q. Have you ever claimed you were in a 11 hurry before under oath? 12 A. I think I have talked to Dan Leipold 13 in it in conversations the fact that I was only 14 given an hour and a half. In fact the manager of 15 the office refused to sign it herself saying there 16 was some kind of conflict of interest and we had 17 to go to a notary public down the hallway to do 18 it. It was actually signed in another lawyer's 19 office down the hallway from the reporting 20 service. She can attest to that. And I have 21 spoken to Dan Leipold about the hurried fashion 22 that I did that. He said if it ever came up I 23 could simply correct it at a later date. 24 Q. That's convenient. 25 Was Cynthia Kisser ever involved in 2574 1 the Eddy Fallon deprogramming? 2 A. No, she was not. 3 Q. Did you ever speak to her about it? 4 A. No, sir, I did not. 5 Q. At no time did you ever speak to 6 Cynthia Kisser about the Eddy Fallon 7 deprogramming; is that right? 8 A. That's correct. Never Cynthia 9 Kisser. It was Adrian and Anne Greek that knew 10 fully about what was going on. 11 Q. Cynthia Kisser didn't prefer you? 12 A. No. 13 Q. She didn't tell you there was a 14 deprogramming going on? 15 A. No, sir. As I have said before on 16 testimony, I got a telephone call, and as I have 17 told Eugene, I believe her name was Melinda from 18 Rehab in Iowa city, although the name could be 19 wrong because I don't remember whether it was 20 Melinda or someone else. She said my name was on 21 a list of deprogrammers. But I specifically don't 22 remember where Cynthia Kisser was involved. 23 In fact, when I talked to your 24 employee, Eugene Ingram, about this, Eugene 25 questioned whether Cynthia could have been 2575 1 involved at the time because of what her position 2 was in the Cult Awareness Network, whether she was 3 an unpaid secretary or she was, in fact, working 4 in the office at that time. And I believe Eugene 5 informed me that she had not yet become executive 6 director and I believe, I could be mistaken, that 7 she was an executive secretary before she became 8 executive director. She had not even walked into 9 that position yet. She was simply a volunteer 10 working in a volunteer capacity. 11 Now again this is information that 12 Eugene had. So being that you employed him and 13 pay him that salary, I would suggest you take it 14 with up Eugene. 15 Q. My question to you is, did Cynthia 16 Kisser call you to tell you there was a 17 deprogramming and you should call the parents to 18 try to find out about it? 19 A. No, not Cynthia Kisser. 20 Q. Who was it? 21 A. Melinda. I think I have testified to 22 that. 23 Q. Did Cynthia Kisser call you and tell 24 you to call the Unbound facility and talk to 25 somebody there about a possible deprogramming of 2576 1 Eddy Fallon? 2 A. As I have said before in testimony 3 over and over and over again, I don't know how 4 many times I have to repeat this, I know you are 5 on a vendetta against Cynthia Kisser and you want 6 her dead, but Cynthia Kisser was not involved in 7 the Eddy Fallon kidnapping, deprogramming. If 8 Cynthia Kisser has ever been involved in any type 9 of deprogrammings, kidnappings I am not aware of 10 it. If you have proof, go with it. But I have 11 never known her to be involved in any type of 12 kidnapping or deprogramming so you will have to 13 get your jollies somewhere else. You are the one 14 that ordered her death. 15 Q. Strike as nonresponsive. 16 Mr. Scarff, you did testify truthful 17 to Mr. Leipold, didn't you? 18 A. I believe so, yes. 19 Q. Take a look at Exhibit-3 again. Page 20 36. Line 24 through 14 of the next page. 21 A. "A. There was one case that 22 Cynthia Kisser -- 23 "I would like to go back 24 and read the rest of this. One 25 second. 2577 1 Q. Take your time. 2 A. "A. There was one case that 3 Cynthia Kisser did turn me on to 4 and it was the case with Eddy 5 Fallon, the Eddy Fallon 6 deprogramming I was involved 7 in. Cynthia Kisser called me up 8 and told me there was a family 9 looking for a deprogrammer. She 10 said, and I forget the gist of 11 the conversation, but she 12 referred to another woman who 13 worked out of Unbound who 14 maintained a list of 15 deprogrammers. 16 "I called the people at 17 Unbound and she told me that she 18 had had a list and she had 19 spoken to a number of people 20 about this deprogramming that 21 the parents wanted to do and 22 that I was on the list. She had 23 called a number of people here 24 but because it was the holidays, 25 nobody wanted to do it. And she 2578 1 asked me if I would be willing 2 to do it and I said yes. But 3 that was the only connection." 4 Q. Go to the next page, Page 38. Line 5 14 to Line 18. 6 A. "Q. Do you have any 7 knowledge, direct knowledge, 8 personal knowledge on your 9 behalf that Cynthia Kisser has 10 ever operated a network for 11 referrals for kidnapping or 12 illegal activities? 13 "A. She was aware of 14 it." 15 Q. So which is it, Mr. Scarff, did 16 Cynthia Kisser call you or not on this Eddy Fallon 17 matter? 18 A. What I am saying, Mr. Bowles, and I 19 have said it on record already, to the best of my 20 recollection, Cynthia Kisser was not involved at 21 that time. If in fact she was involved I am 22 sorry, I misspoke. But again let's not 23 misrepresent the testimony here. If in fact she 24 did talk with me, she is the one, if, in fact, she 25 was the one, referred me to this Melinda who told 2579 1 me I was on a list of deprogrammers. This is what 2 this now speaks of. 3 Q. So you are not certain now whether 4 Cynthia Kisser called you; is that right? 5 A. I do not recall right now April 16th, 6 1993 whether Cynthia Kisser was the one that spoke 7 with me. 8 Q. What was April 16th about? 9 A. I am saying today, August 16, 1993 I 10 am not positive whether it was Cynthia Kisser that 11 called me and referred me to this woman who I 12 spoke to. I don't recall. This was, I believe 13 the record shows it was seven or eight years ago. 14 A lot has happened since then. 15 Q. So that's your testimony now, right? 16 A. It has always been my testimony, 17 Mr. Bowles. You are the one that has chosen to 18 twist and distort it, sir. 19 If Cynthia Kisser did call me, then 20 fine. Let the record speak for itself. If 21 Cynthia Kisser can corroborate the fact that she 22 called me with this, I won't deny that. I just 23 don't remember. 24 Q. Well, it is a matter of your 25 testifying under oath. 2580 1 A. I'm sure you don't remember every 2 nuance that happened in your life eight years ago. 3 Q. That's not the point. 4 A. It is. 5 Q. You are testifying under oath at 6 different times of totally different claims. 7 A. I am not. Mr. Bowles, nothing in 8 this world is black and white. I am human. I 9 make errors. I forget. I have loss of memory. 10 Every human being does that. Only you want the 11 world to think you are perfect. Sir, I hate to 12 tell you, you are as human as I am. You have made 13 a lot more mistakes than I have which will come 14 back to haunt you. 15 Q. Strike as nonresponsive. 16 A. The record will speak for itself. I 17 don't have a perfect memory. Neither do you. If 18 you want to twist and distort my testimony for 19 your own purpose, go for it. You are not fooling 20 anyone within the judicial system. 21 Q. Which is true, Mr. Scarff, you called 22 the people at Unbound or they called you first? 23 A. I don't recall. 24 Q. Now you don't recall? 25 A. You're asking me to speculate on 2581 1 something that happened eight years ago. I am 2 saying to the best of my recollection, this is 3 what happened. 4 The only thing that I remember about 5 that entire affair is that I got a telephone call 6 from a woman by the name of Melinda from Rehab who 7 said I was on a list. In fact your own 8 declaration by Eugene Ingram refers to that 9 conversation. And that's all I can remember. If 10 Cynthia Kisser or someone else called me, I don't 11 know. The only thing that I remember about that 12 specific deprogramming is that Adrian and Anne 13 Greek and I conversed about it. They were fully 14 aware before it happened what was going on. It 15 was Adrian Greek that tried to get me not to do it 16 because of the father's problems. And that's all 17 I can remember. And it is not true or false, 18 black or white. Sorry, I just don't recall. It 19 is eight years ago. 20 Q. Does that go for all your testimony, 21 Mr. Scarff? 22 A. No. 23 Q. So all your other testimony is really 24 black and white to you? 25 A. That's according to you, sir. 2582 1 Q. I am asking you. You are telling me 2 it is not black and white? 3 A. Mr. Bowles. Let's get it on record 4 here. Practically every lawsuit you have filed in 5 the courts has blown up in your face and backfired 6 on you and you have lost them and it is precisely 7 for the same reason. So if you want to distort my 8 testimony, go ahead. 9 Q. I am trying to find out what my 10 testimony is. 11 A. No, sir, it is clear to me you are 12 not interested in finding out any truth. You are 13 simply here to stall and disrupt this. This ex 14 parte application you lost last Friday is simply 15 justice to the matter, sir. Are you going to file 16 another ex parte application in this so it can 17 backfire on you a third time? 18 Q. Strike as nonresponsive. 19 A. Of course not. You don't want the 20 truth. 21 Q. Which of your testimony is black and 22 white and which isn't, Mr. Scarff? 23 A. Sir, I have answered the question. 24 Asked and answered. Am not going to continue with 25 this harassment of you, sir. 2583 1 Q. Ever forged any documents that you 2 purport to being Scientology documents from the 3 Church of Scientology? 4 A. I am sorry. 5 Q. Have you ever forged a document that 6 you purport to have come from the Church of 7 Scientology? 8 A. Have I ever forged a document? 9 Q. Yes. 10 A. Not that I can recall. 11 Q. You didn't forge that staff contract, 12 did you? 13 A. No. In fact -- 14 Q. Did somebody else forge it, is that 15 your testimony? 16 A. It is my testimony, Mr. Bowles, and I 17 have been informed by former high-ranking members 18 of the Church of Scientology who have access to 19 contracts on a daily basis that the Church of 20 Scientology by policy requires a clean copy of a 21 contract when it is sent down to CSI, and if by 22 virtue of whether any coffee was spilled on the 23 contract, food was spilled on the contract, it was 24 lost, it wasn't a clean copy, that church 25 officials routinely simply redid them because it 2584 1 had already been in the file in the first place. 2 They considered that okay. 3 Now, that has been validated to me by 4 former high-ranking members of the Church of 5 Scientology. 6 Q. Who? 7 A. That is none of your business. 8 Q. You are going to refuse to answer the 9 question? 10 A. Yes, I am. That is a privacy 11 question. That's none of your business. I am not 12 going to give it to you. 13 Q. When? 14 A. Privacy. None of your business. 15 Q. Where? 16 A. None of your business. That's a 17 privacy. I execute the privilege. 18 Q. You are going to refuse to answer any 19 questions about the circumstances of that 20 information; is that right? 21 A. I refer you to Judge Tassopoulos's 22 ruling that says that I as a witness have a right 23 to execute any privilege I wish when it is a 24 private matter. That is a private matter. These 25 individuals have been the targets of fair game by 2585 1 your office, by your employee Eugene Ingram. You 2 know who they are. You are not going to use me as 3 an instrument to torment or cause anguish to 4 anyone else. 5 Q. You are going to make a general 6 statement and then refuse to answer any specific 7 questions to substantiate it; is that right? 8 A. No. If you want to ask me questions 9 to substantiate it, fine, but if you are asking me 10 for names of individuals that are related to that, 11 I absolutely refuse to do that because you have 12 already caused a lot of torment and financial ruin 13 to these individuals simply to harass them as is 14 the policy of the Scientology. Which has also 15 threatened to kill me and my parents in this 16 process, of which you are fully aware of, sir. 17 Q. Strike as nonresponsive. 18 A. Sir, it is a fact. That's why we 19 have a police officer here. It is the fact and 20 you know it. If you want to sit here and strike 21 it, sobeit. 22 Q. So now you are telling me the police 23 officer is here because I am here asking you 24 questions? 25 MR. CALHOUN: Objection, misstates the 2586 1 statement? 2 BY MR. BOWLES: 3 Q. Is that right? 4 A. Mr. Bowles, it is already on record 5 and I believe it is on record with the judge that 6 I had specific threats rendered against me in this 7 deposition and prior to this deposition and that's 8 why we have security in the building. 9 Q. I thought he was here just for 10 Mr. Ingram. Is he now here for me? Are you 11 afraid of me? 12 A. I seem to recall a conversation where 13 you went to the security man and asked him to 14 protect you from me because I was psychotic. Did 15 you not have that conversation, Mr. Bowles? Let's 16 talk about the facts here. Are you afraid to 17 admit that on the record the fact that you 18 approached this officer and tried to get him to 19 protect you from me? He is here for you evidently 20 too, Mr. Bowles. 21 Q. I don't think so? 22 A. That's what you said to him. Should 23 we bring the officer in to testify to that, 24 Mr. Bowles? What are you afraid of, Mr. Bowles? 25 Q. Are you going to refuse to answer my 2587 1 question? 2 A. Mr. Bowles, you have asked it and I 3 answered it. 4 Q. You are going to refuse to answer. 5 All right? 6 A. No. Asked and answered, Counsel 7 already. Convenient for you to deny the truth, 8 isn't it, Mr. Bowles. 9 Q. I think the record will speak for 10 itself, Mr. Scarff. 11 A. I think it already has and it has 12 blown you out of court twice already. I think 13 that's a real fair reflection of what's happening 14 in this deposition. 15 Q. So you are not going to tell me who 16 told you about the so-called practice of staff 17 contracts, I guess; is that right? 18 A. I have spoken to several individuals 19 both whom I have already stated on the record. 20 Q. How many? 21 A. At least five. 22 Q. Is that your best recollection, five? 23 A. Five, yes. 24 Q. Since when? 25 A. Since when? In the last three weeks, 2588 1 four weeks. 2 Q. Where are these people located? 3 A. Sir, that's a privacy question. It 4 is none of your business. 5 Q. And you are not going to tell me your 6 names? 7 A. Why? So you can go and hurt them? 8 Q. No. So I can find out whether you 9 are telling the truth or not. Yes or no, are you 10 going to tell me their names or not? 11 A. Asked and answered, Counselor. 12 Q. Yes or no. No? 13 A. Asked and answered. Now who is edgy, 14 Mr. Bowles? Who is uncomfortable now, 15 Mr. Bowles? 16 Q. Strike as nonresponsive. 17 A. It has been 45 minutes. I would like 18 to take a break. It has been over 45 minutes 19 actually. 20 MR. BOWLES: I disagree, but go ahead and 21 take a break if you are uncomfortable. 22 THE WITNESS: Mr. Bowles, you are the one 23 that's shouting, not me. 24 VIDEO OPERATOR: We will go off the record. 25 The time is 10:57 A.M. 2589 1 (Recess taken.) 2 VIDEO OPERATOR: Back on the record. The 3 time is 11:20 A.M. 4 BY MR. BOWLES: 5 Q. So, Mr. Scarff, have you or have you 6 not ever forged a document which bears the Church 7 of Scientology identification? 8 A. I think I have answered that 9 already. Not to my recollection. 10 Q. Have you ever made any Workers Comp 11 claims in connection with any employment of yours? 12 A. Yes, I have. 13 Q. How many? 14 A. I think that's personal information 15 which you are not entitled to, sir. I was 16 represented by attorneys in my claims and I think 17 that's attorney-client privilege. 18 Q. Have you filed more than one claim? 19 A. Yes, I have. 20 Q. How many? 21 A. It is none of your business. 22 Q. Well, it is my business if you have 23 filed fraudulent claims. 24 A. Sir, I was represented by an attorney 25 in each one of these claims. I don't think that's 2590 1 accessible to you, sir. 2 Q. When was the first one? 3 A. The first one that I can recall was 4 with J.C. Penney. 5 Q. On that insurance job you had? 6 A. Yes. 7 Q. What was your claimed disability? 8 A. Again that's none of your business, 9 sir. 10 Q. When was it filed? 11 A. I believe it was filed early 1987. 12 Again I was represented by an attorney in that 13 case. 14 Q. Who was it? 15 A. You can take it up with the attorney, 16 Douglas Green. He is an attorney in Portland. 17 Q. When was your second claim? 18 A. Second claim that I can recall is 19 with Red Lion Hotel following a car accident on 20 November 13th, 1991. Again represented by Douglas 21 Green, attorney in Portland. 22 Q. On the first claim against J.C. 23 Penney, did you collect any money? 24 A. Yes, I did. 25 Q. How much? 2591 1 A. Again that's none of your business, 2 sir. That was a settlement and the terms are not 3 open to your knowledge, sir. Take it up with the 4 attorney. 5 Q. When did you get your settlement? 6 A. Again that's privileged information, 7 sir. 8 Q. Did you get a settlement in the Red 9 Lion matter? 10 A. Yes, I did. 11 Q. How much was that? 12 A. Take it up with Doug Green, sir. You 13 are an attorney. Take it up with him. 14 Q. So you are giving us authority to 15 talk to Doug Green as your former counsel? 16 A. No, I am not. I am simply saying 17 this is attorney-client privilege which you have 18 asserted numerous times in my attempt to get 19 information from you. You know what it is. You 20 know I'm not going to give you the information. 21 Why are you asking? 22 Q. You are not authorizing Mr. Greene to 23 give it to us? 24 A. No, sir, because I know what you do 25 with the information. I think it is widely 2592 1 apparent what your law firm does with the 2 information and it is not lawful, so why would I 3 be stupid enough. 4 Q. Strike as nonresponsive. 5 Have you filed any other Workers Comp 6 claims? 7 A. I may have but I don't recall. 8 Q. Did you have lawyers representing you 9 on the other claims? 10 A. Yes. 11 Q. Any claim you filed you had a lawyer 12 representing you; is that right? 13 A. What I am saying, to the best of my 14 recollection, the two Workers Comp claims that I 15 had I had lawyers representing me. That's only 16 what I recall. 17 Q. If you had filed any others it would 18 have been by representation of counsel? 19 A. Like I say, I can only recall two 20 claims, sir. They were both represented by the 21 same attorney in both cases. 22 Q. Ever faked an injury -- let me finish 23 the question. Everybody faked an injury for which 24 you received Workers' Compensation? 25 A. No, I did not. 2593 1 Q. Ever had a psychological exam in 2 connection with any Workers Comp claim? 3 A. Yes, I did. 4 Q. When was that? 5 A. None of your business. Again that 6 falls under this privilege, sir. 7 Q. Which privilege again? 8 A. Attorney-client privilege. Also 9 dealt with the Workers' Compensation situation 10 with J.C. Penney and that's none of your business. 11 Q. So you had a psychological exam in 12 connection with the J.C. Penney's injury; is that 13 right? 14 A. Asked and answered, Counselor. 15 That's none of your business. 16 Q. So you are refusing to answer that 17 question? 18 A. Yes, I am refusing to answer that 19 question based upon my right to privacy, sir. 20 MR. BOWLES: I'm referring to I think it is 21 Exhibit-195, which is the correction statement. 22 Q. You recall, Mr. Scarff, we went over 23 that correction statement on Friday? 24 A. No, we did not go over the correction 25 statement. You simply pulled out one excerpt from 2594 1 that statement, sir. 2 Q. We identified it, and authenticated 3 it, didn't we? 4 A. No, you didn't authenticate it. 5 Q. You did. 6 A. I don't ever recall authenticating 7 anything, sir. 8 Q. How long did it take you to fill that 9 out, the correction statement? An hour and a 10 half? Is that your testimony? 11 A. No, I didn't say that, sir. 12 Q. What is your best recollection? 13 A. Misrepresenting the testimony, sir 14 what I said is I went into Teach's reporting and I 15 had until 10:30 to review the transcript, make 16 corrections and do this sheet. 17 Q. So you did all the corrections and 18 wrote out everything by 10:30, is that it? 19 A. Yes. 20 Q. And that included reading the entire 21 transcript? 22 A. I went over it the best I could. I 23 glanced at it. If I saw a paragraph that looked 24 even reasonably correct, I just accepted that it 25 was correct. 2595 1 Q. So do you know how many pages that 2 transcript was, do you recall? 3 A. I believe it was something like 260 4 pages. 5 Q. 277 pages, Mr. Scarff? 6 A. Yes, Mr. Bowles, it was 277 pages. 7 Are you happy now? 8 Q. The hour and a half you spent doing 9 this also included your typing up the explanations 10 at the end of the correction statement? 11 A. No, that wasn't done at the time of 12 the corrections. 13 Q. When was that done? 14 A. The typewriting was done following 15 the deposition on September 11th. 16 Q. And you just added that on? 17 A. Yes. I added that on after the -- I 18 am sorry, it wasn't a deposition. It was the 19 declaration taken by Dan Leipold on September 11th 20 and the typed statement I made vindicating Cynthia 21 Kisser of any wrongdoing was also typed and signed 22 by me on September 11 of 1992. 23 Q. Under oath? 24 A. Yes. This was under oath. But this 25 here that you are referring to, the corrections, 2596 1 if you notice at the top, sir, it says 10/26/92. 2 Q. You are looking at the wrong 3 exhibit. Let me show you my copy. This is what 4 we authenticated on Friday. 5 MR. CALHOUN: Object for the record. There 6 was no deposition on Friday. 7 MR. BOWLES: I am sorry. Thursday. You are 8 right, Mr. Calhoun, I misspoke. 9 THE WITNESS: If you can read this, 10 Mr. Bowles, you might have to put your glasses on, 11 sir. It was the 22nd day of September which is 12 different from September 11. There is a ten-day 13 difference. 14 BY MR. BOWLES: 15 Q. So did you fill out the correction on 16 September 22nd, 1992 or October 6th that you 17 testified to before the break? 18 A. What I am testifying to, Mr. Bowles, 19 and you know this as well as I do, it is already 20 on record. I mean you have got transcripts of it 21 right in front of you, sir. I had a declaration 22 done by Dan Leipold in front of a court reporter. 23 I was sworn under oath. It was me, Dan Leipold 24 and I believe her name was Pamela Smith. She is a 25 court reporter at Teach's Reporting, Portland, 2597 1 Oregon. 2 Following the declaration that I gave 3 Mr. Leipold, I typed up a statement vindicating 4 Cynthia Kisser of any wrongdoing and I signed it. 5 And I believe I dated it September 11. 6 And then approximately 10 days later 7 on the 22nd of September I made the corrections to 8 the transcript. I was not allowed -- I mean I 9 requested that they send a copy to my home so I 10 could review and correct it and send it back. 11 They said no. I had to come down to the court 12 reporter's office at nine o'clock on the 22nd. I 13 was given an hour and a half to do it. 14 And that's what I did. And that's 15 why if you notice here it says the 22nd day of 16 September, 1992 and above it it refers to the 17 deposition, but it was actually a declaration 18 taken September 11th of '92. It is very 19 self-explanitory, sir. 20 Q. So that is your correction statement, 21 then, this thing -- 22 A. For the declaration. Not the 23 deposition. The declaration taken on September 24 11th. 25 Q. Right. 2598 1 A. Yes. 2 Q. 90 minutes. Still your testimony, 90 3 minutes? 4 A. Yes. 5 Q. You understood you were under penalty 6 of perjury on that, didn't it? Didn't you? 7 A. Yes. 8 Q. In fact, you acknowledged it on that 9 transcript? 10 A. Yes. 11 Q. Let's take a look at that. Exhbit-3, 12 Page 71. 13 A. Okay. 14 Q. Line 6, please read from Line 6 to 15 Line 12? 16 A. "Q. -- this is Dan Liepold 17 speaking -- "And I am not 18 forcing you in any way to make 19 these statements? 20 "A. No. 21 "Q. And you recognize 22 that this is under penalty of 23 perjury? 24 "A. I recognize that and 25 I recognize when it becomes 2599 1 public I may lose my life over 2 it too." 3 And that's referring to the threats 4 that you made on my life through your employee. 5 Q. Prior to this date did Mr. Ingram 6 ever threaten you physically? 7 A. Yes, he did. 8 Q. How many times? 9 A. I recall at least two conversations 10 that he called me at home on. One in which I 11 called him. 12 Q. So that would be pretty important, by 13 September 11th you would remember that, wouldn't 14 you? That would stick in your mind, wouldn't it? 15 A. I think, yes, the fact that anyone 16 would threaten someone would stick in their mind 17 and also there was threats afterwards prior to 18 the -- 19 Q. I am talking about before September 20 11. 21 A. I am sorry, it wasn't before December 22 11th. 23 Q. September. 24 A. Mr. Bowles, don't interrupt me, sir. 25 I am trying to answer the question. If you want 2600 1 to interrupt there is no point in my answering 2 questions. 3 Q. The question is were you physically 4 threatened by Mr. Ingram prior to September 11, 5 1992? 6 A. I am saying no, that I was threatened 7 following this because at the time I gave this 8 declaration Mr. Ingram to my knowledge was not 9 aware that I was talking to Mr. Leipold, although 10 he had called me saying that he was aware that the 11 Cult Awareness Network was out to get me and to 12 throw me in prison which I later found was a 13 deliberate lie again created by your employee no 14 doubt at your offering, sir. 15 Q. Just to get your testimony straight 16 here -- 17 A. My testimony has been straight. I 18 think people see through the darkness 19 representations you have made, sir. Is that funny 20 to you? 21 Q. You were not physically threatened by 22 Mr. Ingram prior to September 11, 1992, is that 23 your testimony now? 24 A. Sir, I don't like the fact that you 25 have inserted the word "now." 2601 1 Q. Strike the word "now." 2 A. It is my testimony again, and I am 3 confusing these depositions and declarations 4 because there has already been what, four of them 5 thanks to the fact that your office again 6 misrepresented the situation -- 7 Q. Strike as nonresponsive. 8 A. It is on record, sir. You disrupted 9 it and made it postponed. It took nine months for 10 it to happen because of your misconduct. 11 Q. Strike as nonresponsive. 12 Were you physically threatened by 13 Mr. Ingram prior to September 11, 1992? Yes or 14 no. 15 A. No. 16 Q. Thank you. 17 A. You are welcome. 18 Q. Let's go to Page 272. 19 A. Of which exhibit? 20 Q. Exhibit-3. 274, I am sorry. 21 Actually go back one page, sir, to 273. And would 22 you please read from Line 21 of that Page 273 down 23 to Line 19 of 274. 24 A. "Q. The first step before I 25 take your deposition is I have 2602 1 to make one more significant 2 test of your credibility. And 3 that significant test of your 4 credibility is I am going to 5 make arrangements with the court 6 reporter and you come in here 7 and you initial every page of 8 your declaration, you sign your 9 declaration under penalty of 10 perjury and she will then 11 notarize it. 12 "Can we go off the 13 record a second. 14 "(Discussion off the 15 record.) 16 "BY MR. LEIPOLD (Continuing): 17 "Q. I have made 18 arrangements with the court 19 reporter. Could you give he her 20 your telephone number. 21 "A. 281-9088. 22 "Q. The court reporter 23 is going to call you when this 24 declaration transcript is 25 ready. She will then make 2603 1 arrangements to have you sign it 2 here. You will have to sign it 3 under penalty of perjury and she 4 will execute the notary public 5 stamp on it. I would request 6 that you initial each page as 7 you go along. 8 "A. I would like to have 9 a copy of it at that time. 10 "Q. Okay. I will make 11 arrangements that once the 12 original is available to me that 13 the court reporter make up a 14 copy and give it to you. Is 15 that acceptable?" 16 Q. Answer? 17 A. "A. Yes." 18 Q. Did you ever get a copy? 19 A. No, I didn't. I got a copy after I 20 signed it because he said that he wanted me to 21 have a signed copy. 22 Q. Did you, in fact, initial every page? 23 A. I believe I did. If I look at it 24 again. It has my initials on it. 25 Q. Those are your initials at about the 2604 1 bottom of each page? 2 A. Yes. 3 Q. Do you recall going through and 4 initialing every page of this declaration? 5 A. Yes. 6 Q. That was on September 22, 1992? 7 A. That's correct. I believe it is also 8 signed September 22, '92. 9 Q. And did you understand when you 10 initialed each page that that was your attest that 11 these pages were actual transcriptions of your 12 testimony? 13 A. Actually -- I am looking in the back 14 here. The corrections show the 22nd of 15 September. Whereas the declaration says executed 16 26th day of October, 1992. And I forget whether 17 it was -- no, you are right. This is the 18 deposition. I have gotten confused. Sorry. 19 Q. So did you understand when you 20 initialed each page at the bottom right-hand 21 corner of this declaration that you were attesting 22 that each page was a true and accurate 23 transcription of your testimony? 24 A. True and accurate to the best of my 25 recollection, yes, sir. I think it is throughout 2605 1 this -- I mean it is not throughout this one here, 2 but throughout any time I have given testimony 3 since leaving the church in September of '92, I 4 have always said that I will do things on my 5 recollection and memory. 6 Q. Right. And this initialing and 7 review took place 11 days after you gave the 8 testimony, isn't that correct? 9 A. September -- yes. 10 Q. Now, as part of the same process, did 11 you fill out the correction sheet? 12 A. I did it as I went along. 13 Q. Right. As you made a correction you 14 finished -- let's say you finished Page 5 and 15 finished all the corrections and then you would 16 initial the page; is it correct? 17 A. I am sorry. I didn't understand. 18 Q. Let me rephrase. I am show you the 19 first page of the corrections. Here you have Page 20 5 and you have four entries, right? 21 A. Right. 22 Q. One at Line 5, two at Line 7 and one 23 at Line 21? 24 A. Right. 25 Q. Why don't we go to that page. 2606 1 A. Page 5? 2 Q. Yes. 3 A. Okay. 4 Q. All right. Now when you put your 5 initials down there in the lower right corner of 6 that Page 5, was it after you had finished the 7 process of, A, reading the page and, B, writing 8 out longhand on this correction sheet each one of 9 the four corrections you deemed necessary on that 10 page? 11 A. No. What I did is, if I can recall, 12 is I went page by page. I was instructed by the 13 court reporter who, in fact, only gave me one page 14 and I said I am going to need a lot more than one 15 page. That I went and she told me the only thing 16 I really needed to worry about was misspellings 17 and grammar, the fact that information may have 18 been transposed. 19 For example, I referred to Gerry 20 Armstrong at one time and they had put Gayle 21 Armstrong and they told me "The only thing you 22 really need to worry about is clarifications and 23 additions and misspellings." I went page by 24 page. 25 For example, it says Eunice Cleaver 2607 1 and it should be Kliger, so I corrected it. I 2 went to the next page and did it until I got to 3 the very end and then I simply initialed every 4 page and then I signed it. 5 Q. That was part of the same process 6 that you described here from nine o'clock to 10:30 7 in the morning on the 22nd of September? 8 A. That is correct. That's as I recall 9 it, yes. 10 Q. How long did it take you to go 11 through the entire 277-page transcript and make 12 these notes? 13 A. I went in at nine o'clock and I had 14 to be out at a meeting room at 10:30. And it was 15 like 10:25. I was really pressing it. 16 Q. And it is your testimony you made 18 17 pages of corrections in that time? 18 A. Yes. Because as I have said before, 19 I didn't read it first. So I went initially -- it 20 was like correcting a test paper, sir. I went to 21 a page and I corrected it, particularly things 22 where there were misspellings and stuff. I was 23 told as far as direct content was concerned, that 24 I didn't have to worry about rephrasing things. 25 That, in fact, legally I wasn't able to rephrase 2608 1 sentences and structure and stuff like that. To 2 simply make basic corrections on misspellings or 3 words were out of order. 4 Q. How many times have you attempted 5 suicide, Mr. Scarff? 6 A. That's a privacy question. It is 7 none of your business. 8 Q. How many times have you attempted 9 suicide since 1982? 10 A. Asked and answered, Counselor. 11 Q. How many times have you attempted 12 suicide before 1982? 13 A. Asked and answered, Counselor. 14 Q. Are you saying that you are refusing 15 to answer those questions? 16 A. Yes. 17 Q. I assume that -- let me get this 18 straight. When you say "Asked and answered, 19 Counselor," you are not going to answer any more 20 questions as to what I am asking you; is that 21 right? 22 A. Yes. 23 Q. Then we will just have to take that 24 to court; is that right? 25 A. Well, Counselor, I have read Judge 2609 1 Tassopoulos' ruling and -- 2 Q. Yes or no? 3 A. I am answering your question, sir. 4 According to Judge Tassopoulos in her ex parte 5 ruling dated August 3rd, 1993, Page 33; 6 "THE COURT: It is up to the witness to either 7 answer them or not answer them. The witness can 8 claim whatever privilege." 9 Q. So what privilege are you claiming 10 when you say asked and answered? 11 A. Judge Tassopoulos says, "Privacy 12 would be the one they would be claiming I 13 suppose." 14 Privacy, sir. That's a private 15 issue. 16 Q. Any time I ask you a question you 17 claim you are not going to answer it by saying 18 asked and answered, that's a privacy claim? 19 A. Sir, it is -- 20 MR. CALHOUN: Objection, misstates the 21 record. 22 THE WITNESS: Sir, it is my feeling, my 23 opinion and particularly based on what I have read 24 in the judge's ruling, which you seem to want to 25 ignore, sir, is that anything with regards to my 2610 1 family, medical history, personal history is my 2 business. Now, if the judge wants me to talk 3 about it, we will let the judge make that ruling, 4 but you, sir, are not in the position to require 5 that from me and no, I will not answer it. 6 BY MR. BOWLES: 7 Q. Was the Willemette Week newspaper 8 free on the streets in 1985, sir? 9 A. Yes, it was. You mean, you are 10 talking about when church members stole all the 11 newspapers out of is the bins, yes. 12 Q. Strike as nonresponsive. 13 Those were free at the time? 14 A. There were two editions, sir. They 15 had a free edition made available in the bins and 16 they also had editions which I believe cost a 17 dollar at the time and it was to pay for their 18 advertisement. I believe it went both ways at the 19 time. I think it remains such as now. If you are 20 outside the Multnomah County area, which Portland 21 is a part of, then it cost like a dollar. But it 22 is free within the boundaries of Multnomah 23 County. That is my understanding. I could be 24 incorrect. 25 Q. Let's take a look at some of your 2611 1 testimony on direct. 2 Remember the allegation you have made 3 in this deposition under oath that there was a 4 planning meeting in November after a so-called 5 disruption of the Jewish Federation Center in 6 mid-November 1991. 7 A. I am sorry -- 8 Q. Remember you were testifying to that? 9 A. If you tell me what the question 10 was. I didn't understand it. You are talking 11 through your hands there, sir. 12 Q. I am asking if you remember having 13 testified to this so-called meeting you had with 14 certain people on Sunday evening, November 17th, 15 1991 in which you claim the murder of Cynthia 16 Kisser was plotted. 17 A. First of all, one, it was not a 18 so-called meeting. Two, it did occur. Secondly, 19 I never said on record that it was Sunday night. 20 I said it was the early hours of Sunday morning 21 because the disruption occurred on Saturday night 22 at the Jewish Federation Center in Los Angeles. 23 And it occurred thereafter. 24 And I believe that I have stated on 25 record numerous times that it occurred around 2612 1 12:00, 12:30 in the morning, very late in the 2 morning on Sunday. So it would make it Sunday 3 morning, not Sunday night, so it is not a 4 so-called meeting, it is a meeting of which you 5 are well aware of. 6 Q. The A.M. meeting on Sunday, November 7 17th, is that what you are referring to there? 8 A. I believe it was. I don't recall the 9 exact date, but it was Saturday night and it was 10 the anniversary of the Jonestown tragedy. 11 Q. That was a pretty important meeting, 12 wasn't it? 13 A. You tell me. You are the one that 14 orchestrated it. 15 Q. Strike as nonresponsive. 16 A. Why don't you tell me if it was 17 important enough. You are the one that wanted 18 this lady dead. You wanted Cynthia Kisser dead. 19 You tell me. You orchestrated it. 20 Q. Let's get to the truth. 21 A. It is the truth. 22 Q. Why don't you read now from Page 354 23 to the bottom of the next page. 24 If it was an important meeting you 25 would remember who was there, wouldn't you? 2613 1 A. I remember the meeting. 2 Q. This is a very serious matter, 3 murder, isn't it? 4 A. You are the one that brought it up. 5 Why don't you answer that question. 6 Q. Yes or no, serious, wasn't it? 7 A. I think it is very serious, yes. 8 Q. So you would remember who was there? 9 A. Yes. I think it is very serious, 10 Mr. Bowles, that you as an attorney would order 11 someone to go murder another individual simply 12 because you can't stand the fact that people tell 13 the truth about your church. You can't stand the 14 fact that the people outside the Church of 15 Scientology are well aware that you are committing 16 fraud and crimes. And pretty soon you are going 17 to be held responsible for it, sir. 18 Q. Nice act. 19 A. When you are behind bars I will be 20 there applauding and then we will come back to a 21 deposition and talk, won't we, sir. 22 Nice act? 23 Q. Command performance, Mr. Scarff. 24 Why don't you read the pages, that I 25 asked you to read. 2614 1 A. Mr. Bowles, fuck you. 2 Q. Read the pages, sir. 3 A. I don't understand the question you 4 asked. You are too busy intimidating me here to 5 answer any questions. 6 Q. Are you ready to smile now, 7 Mr. Scarff? 8 A. Excuse me. You are the one that has 9 been laughing throughout this entire proceeding. 10 Don't forget there is a videotape on you too you 11 seem to forget that. 12 Q. I didn't detect a smile there, 13 Mr. Scarff, did I? 14 A. Was there a smile? I don't recall 15 smiling. I recall being angry with the fact that 16 here is an attorney misrepresenting himself as an 17 attorney who ordered the killing of somebody. I 18 think that is very serious. 19 Q. You lie when you get angry? 20 A. Mr. Bowles, I will be damn if I am 21 going to sit here and let you rap all over me. 22 Q. You lie when you get angry? 23 A. I get angry with the fact that here I 24 am trying to tell the truth and you are here only 25 to stall and misrepresent these proceedings. You 2615 1 have already tried to force it to stop and the 2 judge simply overruled you. You can't stand the 3 fact that you are losing in this case and the only 4 reason you are here is to muddy the waters and to 5 confuse the issues because you know you are 6 losing. You can't stand losing, can you, 7 Mr. Bowles? 8 Q. Strike as nonresponsive. 9 A. You can't get it. 10 Q. Let's answer the question. 11 A. Your head is too rock hard, 12 Mr. Bowles. You are losing and you can't stand 13 it, sir. 14 Q. Let's ask the question, Mr. Scarff. 15 A. I can't ask the question. You have 16 to ask the question. 17 Q. I want you to read from Page 354, 18 Line 8 to the bottom of the next page. 19 A. How come your neck is twitching 20 Mr. Bowles? Your neck is twitching. Do you have 21 a medical problem? 22 Q. Strike as nonresponsive. 23 A. Of course. Anything that is the 24 truth is nonresponsive to you. 25 "Q. Can you tell me who was 2616 1 involved in those other 2 conversations? 3 "A. It was specifically 4 David Butterworth, Eugene Ingram 5 and myself initially. 6 "Q. And where did 7 that -- was there one 8 conversation or more than one 9 conversation? 10 "A. There was more than 11 one conversation. The specifics 12 of this conversation I was told 13 initially from David Butterworth 14 was something very important 15 that they wanted me to do but he 16 could not talk about it and it 17 occurred very late at night 18 following the disruption we had 19 attempted to perform at the 20 Jewish Federation Center in Los 21 Angeles with Patricia Ryan and 22 Priscilla Coates, who were 23 members of the Cult Awareness 24 Network who were holding a 25 Jonestown ceremony. 2617 1 "Q. When did this 2 conversation occur roughly? 3 "A. Roughly after 12:30 4 in the morning so it would have 5 been actually the next morning 6 of Sunday irrelevantly morning 7 when it occur. 8 "Q. Sunday when? 9 "A. November. I believe 10 it was the 17th which is the 11 actual date of the Jonestown 12 tragedy. 13 "Q. And then who was 14 present at that conversation? 15 "A. Eugene Ingram, David 16 Butterworth and some other 17 people that I don't know. I 18 didn't even know who they were. 19 But he told me that they were 20 both from the legal office and 21 they worked in the OSA. 22 "Q. And by legal office, 23 what do you mean? 24 "A. There is -- they 25 weren't individuals that I know 2618 1 now to have met with Bowles & 2 Moxon but down on the floor 3 where the OSA exists. There is 4 an office adjoining the war room 5 there which they refer to as the 6 legal office. And the person in 7 that legal office is the name of 8 Linda Saclovich and a woman by 9 the name of Terri whose last 10 name I don't recall but she was 11 always in a Sea Org. uniform 12 when I spoke with here." 13 This is an uncorrected 14 copy. 15 Q. What is the your correct testimony? 16 A. This is from the Noon & Pratt records 17 and I have not corrected this. 18 Q. What is your correct testimony? 19 A. Sir, my testimony is correct. I am 20 just saying some of the words are out of line 21 here. 22 Q. What are the typos in that passage 23 you just read? 24 A. Well, the "Jewish Federation Center" 25 should be capital letters. And where it says, 2619 1 "with Patricia Ryan and Priscilla Coates." It 2 should take "where Patricia Ryan and Priscilla 3 Coates, who were members of the Cult Awareness 4 Network, were holding a Jonestown commemorative 5 ceremony." 6 There is a second line, Line 18 that 7 starts with "that I know now to have met with 8 Bowles & Moxon." 9 Q. Page number, sir? 10 A. 3355. And I would have to read back 11 because that doesn't make sense to me, that 12 sentence as it is written or transcribed. 13 And then the last sentence says "But 14 she was always in a Sea Org. uniform when I spoke 15 with here." 16 Q. What did you actually say to the best 17 of your recollection? 18 A. I think it is "she was always in a 19 Sea Org. uniform when I spoke with her there." 20 But it is just a grammar -- 21 Q. So other than those points, is there 22 anything else in that passage that is incorrect in 23 terms of the transcription? 24 A. Not that I can recall. I 25 specifically remember talking to Eugene and David 2620 1 Butterworth and there were people coming in and 2 out all the time. 3 Q. What did Linda Saclovich look like? 4 A. I don't know what she looks like. I 5 have never met her. I have talked to her many 6 times on the telephone. 7 Q. She was in this meeting or not? 8 A. No. 9 Q. She wasn't in the meeting? 10 A. No. What I have said is that in the 11 OSA there is a legal affairs rep. I was told that 12 Linda Saclovich was the person I needed to contact 13 if there was any type of legal stuff going on. 14 Q. So you didn't mean to say here that 15 Linda Saclovich was in this meeting; is that 16 right? 17 MR. CALHOUN: Objection, misstates the 18 record. 19 THE WITNESS: That's not what it says. It 20 says: 21 "A. There is -- they 22 weren't individuals that I know 23 now to have met with Bowles & 24 Moxon" -- again I don't 25 understand what that says -- 2621 1 "but down on the floor where 2 the OSA exists. There is an 3 office adjoining the war room 4 there which they refer to as the 5 legal office. And the person in 6 that legal office is the name of 7 Linda Saclovich." 8 And I think what I meant to say is 9 that one of the persons in that legal office is 10 Linda Saclovich because I have spoken with her on 11 the telephone, but I wasn't in the legal office. 12 There were people coming in and out of the OSA all 13 the time. You know the setup down there so you 14 know what I am talking about. 15 And I remember Terri in the Sea Org. 16 uniform but I didn't know her last name. As you 17 well know, in the OSA office people work 24 hours 18 doing this intelligence stuff and they are 19 constantly walking in and out of offices all the 20 time particularly the computer room. 21 Q. So you didn't mean to testify that 22 Linda Saclovich and the so-called Terri were 23 involved in this on November the 17th? 24 MR. CALHOUN: Objection, argumentative, 25 misstates the testimony. 2622 1 THE WITNESS: I would be speculating, 2 Mr. Bowles, but I presumed at that time they knew 3 what was going on. 4 MR. BOWLES: That wasn't my question. 5 THE WITNESS: I am answering your question. 6 BY MR. BOWLES: 7 Q. No, you are not. 8 A. You are going to let me answer it, 9 sir, or I have nothing to say to you. 10 Q. Answer my question and then we will 11 get on with it. I asked you whether they were 12 present at this meeting, if that was your 13 testimony. 14 A. I think, and I stated before you so 15 callously interrupted me because you don't want 16 the truth here, that people were walking in all 17 the time. Women were walking in at the time and I 18 presumed at the time they knew exactly what was 19 going on. You can stop the bull-baiting because I 20 know what you are doing here. 21 Q. Was Linda Saclovich one of the people 22 that walked in and out? 23 A. I don't know whether Linda -- it is 24 not Siclovich it is Saclovich according to Linda. 25 I don't know. I know she worked in the legal 2623 1 office because. I have had numerous conversations 2 with her. 3 Q. You have had conversations with her 4 but you have never met her? 5 A. It was on the telephone. She 6 identified to me as a secretary or administrative 7 assistant of some sort to David Butterworth. In 8 fact in my personal contacts, which is in the 9 exhibits, I list her as one of my personal 10 contacts. It is on record, sir. 11 Q. So you have never met her? 12 A. No, I have only talked to her on the 13 telephone. 14 Q. You have met Rick Moxon, haven't you? 15 A. Yes. Rick was here the other day in 16 fact. 17 Q. What is his nickname? 18 A. I don't know his nickname. Why would 19 I know his nickname? 20 Q. How do you address him? How did you 21 address him? 22 A. Ken. 23 Q. Did others address him as Ken? 24 A. I think Eugene called him Ken. 25 Q. Is that a common name that was used 2624 1 with Mr. Moxon in your presence? 2 A. I don't know what is a common name 3 for Ken or not. I referred to him as Ken. At no 4 time when I was on the telephone with you or Ken 5 was I said it is Mr. Bowles or Mr. Moxon. It was 6 always Ken. 7 Q. I am talking about his first name. 8 A. His name is Kendrick. I called him 9 Ken. He never corrected me. 10 Q. He never corrected you? 11 A. No. 12 Q. How many times did you talk to him? 13 A. I am going to say at least 10. I 14 don't recall. I don't have my telephone records 15 present. 16 Q. At least 10. Your telephone records 17 will show that? 18 A. Mr. Bowles, you have just misstated 19 me again. If you will let me finish the answer. 20 Q. Go ahead. 21 A. Are you sure? You are not going to 22 interrupt me again? 23 Q. Take your time. 24 A. I have said before and I have said in 25 earlier testimony, I don't have copies of my 2625 1 telephone records dated back two years ago. I 2 wish I had. Because if I had them I would 3 certainly enter them into evidence to show that 4 the numerous phone calls and, there had to be over 5 at least 100 phone calls in over a six-month 6 period which were made to your office, sir, and 7 the Office of Special Affairs. It doesn't say on 8 those phone bills, as you well know, where the 9 calls went to and who I spoke to. But I spoke to 10 these individuals and I can prove that the calls 11 went to your office and the Office of Special 12 Affairs. The documents speak for themselves. You 13 can't discredit telephone bills unless of course 14 you forge them as your office has done in the 15 past. 16 Q. Strike as nonresponsive. 17 A. We know what you do as far as 18 forgeries are concerned. 19 Q. Strike as nonresponsive. 20 A. That's truthful. 21 But my telephone records will speak 22 to the fact that I have made numerous calls to 23 both your, office and the Office of Special 24 Affairs. If you want to subpoena them, go for 25 it. We will enter them into evidence. 2626 1 Q. We will do that. 2 A. I have answered your question. 3 Q. We will do that, Mr. Scarff. You 4 don't have a problem with that? You would let 5 your records come in, right? 6 A. I would allow Mr. Calhoun or any 7 other attorney who is a defendant in one of these 8 frivolous law suits to do it. But I am not going 9 give you any advantage, sir, because all you do is 10 misconstrue the facts and lie anyway. 11 Q. We will get them subpoenaed and then 12 we can straighten that one right out. We will 13 have to take your word for it as to who you spoke 14 with; is that right? 15 A. It will blowup in your face but go 16 for it. 17 Q. We will take your word for it as to 18 who you spoke with, right? 19 A. Yes. I think my word stands a lot 20 better than yours. 21 Q. Let's get your words straight here a 22 little bit more, Mr. Scarff. Let's take a look at 23 Exhibit-75. It is a newspaper article. 24 A. You are going to use a newspaper 25 article. You have gone to such lengths to 2627 1 discredit the media as lying and misrepresenting 2 themselves and you are going right to the source. 3 Boy, you are really on a losing -- God. As much 4 as you discredit the media and you are going to 5 use go to the man that butchers Scientology? This 6 article butchers Scientology and you are going to 7 use it as an exhibit. Thank you. 8 Q. Do you stand by this article, 9 Mr. Scarff? 10 A. No, absolutely not. In fact you can 11 bring Gwen Mayfield in here and she will be honest 12 and she will tell you that I was pissed off on 13 this article because this woman, Fiona Martin, if 14 you look at her reputation, particularly the last 15 article in which she refers to John Frohnmayer, 16 the national director of the Endowment for Arts as 17 a piss director or something, that this woman 18 flagrantly misconstrued information not only 19 against me but this really pissed off the Church 20 of Scientology according to Gwen Mayfield and 21 David Butterworth. In fact it was this article 22 that George Robertson told me to contact Fiona 23 Martin and offer her $150 to buy it from her so it 24 would not be published and the money would have 25 come from OSA. This article -- I don't -- a lot 2628 1 of this information is true I assume because they 2 spoke to Cynthia Kisser and they spoke to Adrian 3 and Anne Greek. 4 Q. Let's take a look at these statements 5 and you tell us whether they are true or not. 6 A. I am glad you brought this up. Thank 7 you very much because I think it will really show 8 some facts here. I wouldn't have thought about it 9 unless you had brought it up. Thank you. 10 Q. The picture of yourself on the third 11 page, "Portlander Garry Scarff, would you buy a 12 used cult story from this man?" 13 A. Yes. 14 Q. What do you think about that 15 commentary? Is that a fair commentary of you, 16 "Would you buy a used cult story from this man?" 17 A. Do you know what it refers to? The 18 body of the story which refers to the used cult 19 story is that I am with Scientology. It refers to 20 the Church of Scientology which you are a member, 21 sir. 22 Q. My question is, would you 23 characterize that as accurate? 24 A. No. Not at all. The picture is me, 25 but, yes. They are referring to Scientology 2629 1 here. Let's not skirt the issue. 2 Q. Let's go -- 3 A. Do you want to address all the 4 credibility of Scientology statements in here, 5 sir? 6 Q. Let's go to the fourth page beyond 7 that. It is the one that has the exhibit logo in 8 the bottom left corner calls "cults versus 9 religion." 10 A. Which one? 11 Q. It has this logo down here. There 12 you go. All right. Bottom right corner. Quote, 13 "In conversation Scarff" -- why don't you read 14 that. 15 A. Where is it at? I don't see it. 16 "In conversation Scarff initially 17 comes off as honest and sincere almost like a Boy 18 Scout who simply wants to explain what happened to 19 him when he crossed the street. The trouble is 20 Scarff's version of what has happened to him too 21 keeps changing." 22 Q. Is that quote, is that statement 23 accurate? 24 A. No, it is not. And if you follow the 25 information that follows, that it talks about 2630 1 Scarff's affiliation with the Church of 2 Scientology and the fact that the Church of 3 Scientology would not confirm certain facts that 4 this reporter wanted. So let's not take things 5 out of context, Mr. Bowles. This refers to 6 Scientology in which Scientology and both me 7 denied a lot of information to this reporter. 8 In fact Gwen Mayfield is quoted in 9 this article, sir, as not returning phone calls 10 and in fact supports me. 11 Q. Before you had this so-called 12 Scientology line, you had another line, didn't 13 you, which was the CAN line? 14 A. Excuse me. 15 Q. You had another line which was the 16 CAN line of the truth, didn't you? 17 A. What do you mean the CAN line? 18 Q. Prior to you adopting what you claim 19 to be a Scientology line of the truth you had the 20 CAN line of the truth, didn't you? 21 A. I don't understand your question. 22 Q. Sorry? 23 A. Sorry. I would like to answer it if 24 you would rephrase it. 25 Q. Before you went into Scientology, as 2631 1 you claim and made claims about what Scientology 2 was doing, you had claims as to what the Cult 3 Awareness Network was doing truly, didn't you? 4 A. In what respects? 5 Q. In respect to their activities. 6 MR. CALHOUN: Objection, vague and 7 ambiguous. 8 THE WITNESS: Yes. I was working with 9 Eugene Ingram. I was being paid by Eugene 10 Ingram. The money was coming from your office. I 11 have got checks to prove it. And I was being paid 12 to lie. I mean Scientology is riddled with 13 professional liars. You are a professional liar. 14 I admit I lied during the time I was working with 15 Scientology 16 BY MR. BOWLES: 17 Q. Did you lie during the time you were 18 with CAN? 19 A. Excuse me? 20 Q. Did you lie during the time you were 21 with CAN? 22 A. During the times I was doing 23 operations on CAN for the Church of Scientology, 24 for your employee, yes, I was lying. I admit. 25 Q. Were you lying before that? 2632 1 A. I have lied to them in the past, yes. 2 Q. Before you had gotten involved with 3 Scientology as you claim? 4 A. Only with respect to The People's 5 Temple thing. 6 Q. Yes. Before 1982 you were lying 7 about the CAN, in your CAN connection with The 8 People's Temple? 9 A. That wasn't CAN, sir. That was the 10 Positive Action Center. 11 Q. That was Positive Action Center. You 12 were lying with them, weren't you? 13 A. Lower your voice. 14 Q. It is cross-examination. 15 A. I can't hear you when you are yell, 16 sir. 17 Q. I am not yelling, as you know, and 18 the tape will show. I am being firm. 19 A. You are being firm? I hear yelling. 20 What I am trying to say yes, I lied. 21 It was very low-keyed with the Positive Action 22 Center -- you are even interrupting the court 23 reporter here. Could you calm down a bit. Your 24 neck is starting to buzz here. Do you need to 25 take a break? 2633 1 Q. Don't bull-bait me. 2 A. Me bull-baiting the man -- I can't 3 believe this. You of all people threatening me, 4 threatened to kill my parents and threatening to 5 kill me through your employee, and I am 6 bull-baiting you. What a fallacy. You are such a 7 joke. 8 Q. Nice act. 9 A. The only act that you have here is 10 the fact that Scientology continues to exist and 11 you are part of it. 12 Q. So you are just telling low-keyed 13 lies with pac; is that right? 14 A. No. I have already said it on 15 record, Mr. Bowles, and I will only say it one 16 time. In order to procure a relationship with 17 Anne Greek I made up a story. I have admitted to 18 that. They know it. You know it now. It has 19 been on record. It is throughout my deposition 20 testimony. I don't see the point of regurgitating 21 it. 22 Q. What do you mean by a low-keyed lie? 23 A. I have just answered your question. 24 You are too busy bull-baiting me. But it is on 25 record. You can pull it out of the transcript 2634 1 tomorrow. 2 Q. When you say it is a low-keyed lie, 3 what do you mean? 4 A. Asked and answered. It is on the 5 record. The record speaks for itself. 6 Q. Let's go to the next page. 7 A. Which page? 8 Q. After the page we just read. 9 A. With the little yellow thing on the 10 bottom? 11 Q. Yes. 12 A. Okay. 13 Q. Next page. 14 A. Okay. 15 Q. Right-hand column? 16 A. Okay. 17 Q. Paragraph about halfway down the page 18 starts with "Whether or not Scarff." Do you see 19 that? 20 A. Okay. 21 Q. If you could please read from there 22 to the bottom of the section just before the 23 capital letter S. Do you see that big capital 24 letter S next to your thumb? 25 A. Oh, this one. 2635 1 Q. Read from where it says, "Whether or 2 not" and then read down to the last line just 3 before that capital S where your pen is now. 4 A. "Whether or not Scarff had 5 ever been accepted into the 6 seminary, there are a number of 7 reasons to believe that he had 8 actually turned against the cult 9 fighters many years ago. For 10 example, in 1985 Scarff sent a 11 letter criticizing the Cult 12 Awareness Network to John 13 Biermans, the head of the legal 14 office for the Unification 15 Church. In his letter Scarff 16 made many of the claims that 17 later appeared in this 18 affidavit. 19 "Apparently in a rage at 20 the rejection of his application 21 to the seminary last year, 22 Scarff sent a five-page letter 23 to a Portland priest. It was 24 copied to David Miscavige, L. 25 Ron Hubbard's successor as the 2636 1 leader of Scientology. The most 2 provocative part of the letter 3 reads 'in 1979 as part of a 4 concocted plot by the Church of 5 Scientology to destroy CAN, Cult 6 Awareness Network, the plan was 7 for me to become close to the 8 Greeks and their associates and 9 find information that could get 10 them criminally arrested or 11 cause them to go insane.' 12 "Scarff now claims the 13 letter is fake but the signature 14 on the letter looks identical to 15 his as does a handwritten note 16 at the bottom. The typeface is 17 the same as other Scarff letters 18 from that period and most 19 incriminating the language is in 20 his distinctly rambling paranoid 21 style." 22 THE WITNESS: Why don't we take a short 23 break. 24 MR. BOWLES: Why don't we answer the 25 question. 2637 1 MR. CALHOUN: There is no question. 2 BY MR. BOWLES: 3 Q. What in that passage you just read is 4 inaccurate, Mr. Scarff? If anything. 5 A. You want to know what is inaccurate 6 about that? 7 Q. Yes. 8 A. Where it defuses the fact that the 9 Church of Scientology was involved in efforts to 10 destroy the Cult Awareness Network. Where I say 11 that the letter is a fake. And that's what is 12 wrong with this paragraph. I was working for 13 Scientology at the time. 14 In fact there is a statement, if you 15 want to get it on record, about the fact that Gwen 16 Mayfield from the Church of Scientology validates 17 me in this interview. And if you also want to get 18 into it, the fact that in the previous paragraph 19 it refers to your employee, Eugene Ingram, in the 20 most unfattering terms. 21 Q. The question is, Mr. Scarff, was it a 22 lie when you said in 1979 that there was a 23 concocted plot by the Church of Scientology to 24 destroy CAN that you were part of? 25 A. First of all, the Cult Awareness 2638 1 Network did not exist in 1979. 2 Q. She is quoting from this letter? Is 3 that an accurate quote? 4 A. No, not in 1979 it wasn't. 5 Q. That was a lie, wasn't it? 6 A. Yes. That was a lie. 7 Q. And that was in your letter to 8 Reverend Kerns, wasn't it? 9 A. Yes. 10 Q. You wrote that in a rage; is that 11 right? 12 A. Yes, I did. 13 MR. BOWLES: No further questions until 14 after lunch. 15 VIDEO OPERATOR: We will go off the record. 16 The date is August 16, 1993. The time is 12:09 17 P.M. End of Tape 1, Volume XIV, of the continuing 18 deposition of Mr. Scarff. 19 (The luncheon recess was taken 20 at 12:09 P.M.) 21 (At this point, PAULETTE M. GRIFFIN, 22 C.S.R. No. 2499 relieves LEE BRENNEMAN, 23 C.S.R. No. 5222 as the court reporter.) 24 25 2639 1 APPEARANCES OF COUNSEL: 2 (P.M. SESSION) 3 4 TIMOTHY BOWLES, ESQ. 5 6 GORDON J. CALHOUN, ESQ. 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 ALSO PRESENT: 15 16 BARRY VARANESE, VIDEO OPERATOR 17 BOB BICKLER 18 19 20 21 22 REPORTED BY: 23 24 PAULETTE M. GRIFFIN, CSR No. 2499 25 2640 1 (The deposition of GARRY L. SCARFF 2 was reconvened at 1:47 P.M.) 3 4 GARRY L. SCARFF, 5 having been previously duly sworn, testified 6 further as follows: 7 8 VIDEO OPERATOR: We are back on the record. 9 Today is August 16th, 1993. The time is 10 1:47 P.M. Beginning of Tape 2, Volume XIV in the 11 continuing deposition of Mr. Scarff. 12 MR. BOWLES: Mr. Calhoun, anything? 13 MR. CALHOUN: On what? 14 MR. BOWLES: Do you have anything to say? 15 MR. CALHOUN: No. 16 17 EXAMINATION (CONTINUING) 18 BY MR. BOWLES: 19 Q. Mr. Scarff, you are under oath 20 still. You understand that? 21 A. Yep. 22 Q. September 7th, 1992 when you met with 23 Dan Leipold, he asked you to tell him about crimes 24 that you knew of that supposedly the Church of 25 Scientology committed, didn't he? 2641 1 A. I didn't understand your question. 2 Say what, now? 3 Q. When you met with Leipold in 4 September of 1992, he asked you to tell him all 5 about the crimes that you knew of that Scientology 6 supposedly committed, didn't he? 7 A. I don't recall the exact 8 questioning. I might be able to find it in the 9 transcript if you want me to find it. 10 Q. No. I am asking you for your 11 recollection. 12 A. I don't recall what specific 13 questions he asked. 14 Q. He asked you to tell all about Bowles 15 & Moxon and any crimes that you felt they may have 16 committed; isn't that right? 17 A. I don't recall. I can refer to the 18 transcript if you want me to look for it. 19 Q. I am asking for your recollection. 20 A. I don't recall. 21 Q. You testified truthfully to him, 22 didn't you? 23 A. Yes, I did. 24 Q. Let's take a look at Exhibit-3. 25 A. I don't have Exhibit-3. 2642 1 Q. Page 90. Would you read from Line 18 2 to the bottom of the page, please. 3 A. "My impression at first 4 was that his name was Chris, and 5 I think in the file 6 'Declarations,' I have a copy 7 of that first declaration where 8 I refer to Chris. Now John 9 Carmichael assisted Eugene 10 Ingram in locating Eddy Fallon. 11 They eventually found the Fallon 12 parents to live in North Port, 13 which is a part of Long Island 14 in New York. And it was from 15 there that we went on. Anyway, 16 that is how I know John 17 Carmichael." 18 Q. Okay. Is that a true statement, 19 "Anyway, that is how I know John Carmichael"? 20 A. Well, that's how I knew John 21 Carmichael at the time, yes, because there was a 22 long period of time I didn't know where John was. 23 And in this investigation which started out with a 24 woman by the name of Maureen in the Public Affairs 25 Office in New York I was told that John Carmichael 2643 1 had worked with her. And that's where I knew then 2 where John Carmichael's whereabouts were at that 3 time. Because the last I had heard of him he had 4 gone to Los Angeles. 5 Q. The comment here is "that is how I 6 know John Carmichael." There is no 7 qualification. Is that an inaccurate statement? 8 A. No, sir, and I just answered your 9 question. Again, you are taking it out of context 10 for your own purpose. That's not the point here. 11 I said already how I knew John. It's already on 12 record. The record speaks for itself. You are 13 simply grabbing at straws here, sir. 14 Q. You didn't attempt to correct this 15 statement in this transcript, did you? 16 A. Asked and answered, Counselor. 17 Q. Yes or no? Did you attempt -- 18 A. Asked and answered. The record 19 speaks for itself. It's been thoroughly discussed 20 on the record itself. The record speaks for 21 itself. 22 Q. I am talking about this Line 24 to 23 25, "Anyway that is how I know John Carmichael."? 24 A. Asked and answered, Counselor. 25 Q. So you are going to refuse -- just 2644 1 hold on a second. 2 A. You are asking the question here. 3 Q. You are going to refuse to answer the 4 question as to whether you attempted to correct 5 this statement in this transcript or not? 6 A. No. Mr. Bowles, I don't know 7 whether, sir, you are simply a retarded individual 8 or you just can't hear. Because this deposition, 9 which is now in its 16th day and I have discussed 10 this thoroughly many, many times before, evidently 11 you don't have a very good recall of the facts, is 12 that I have said before and I will say one more 13 time, although I have said I won't repeat myself 14 and I have done so numerous times already, is that 15 on September 11th given the time constraints that 16 I had, I corrected this to the best of my ability 17 at that time. I initialed each page and I signed 18 it. 19 If by an oversight I missed 20 something, then that's human. I made a mistake. 21 People make mistakes. Evidently you don't give 22 people credit for that but that's your problem. 23 That's not a problem that most other people don't 24 have. And that's all I am going to say. And I 25 think that's the best way I can answer your 2645 1 question. Nothing is black and white, sir. 2 Q. Okay. Nothing is black and white. 3 Is that your testimony? 4 A. I think that's -- 5 Q. In this deposition? 6 A. That's a human condition. That's how 7 you have chosen to misrepresent and distort the 8 facts in this case, sir. You have taken things 9 out of context. 10 Q. That's your testimony. It's not 11 black and white anywhere in your deposition; is 12 that right? 13 A. I am saying, sir, everything that I 14 have said thus far in a declaration, in a 15 deposition has been from the best of my 16 recollection. 17 Q. Okay. So it's subject to change at 18 any time; is that right? 19 A. No. It's not subject to change. I 20 mean, if I get hit by a car today and I lose my 21 memory, I am sure tomorrow it would be subject to 22 change because I wouldn't remember anything. 23 Q. Okay. Let's do a little 24 demonstration for the camera, shall we, 25 Mr. Scarff? 2646 1 A. I am not going to do a 2 demonstration. You are the one doing the 3 demonstration for the camera, sir. You are the 4 actor here. 5 Q. Very clever. Let's get on with the 6 question. 7 This Exhibit-3 you corrected; right, 8 you read through the whole thing? 9 A. To the best of my ability, sir. I 10 have said this I don't know how many times. 11 Q. So what I want you to do for the 12 camera now, let's take this page at random, 13 Page 90. I want you to read through that page and 14 do as you did on September 22nd, 1992. Show me 15 what you did. Read the page then make your 16 corrections. 17 A. How do you want me to do this? I 18 don't understand your question. 19 Q. Just as you did then, sir. 20 A. What are you asking me to do? 21 Q. I want you to start reading from the 22 top of the page to the bottom of the page. 23 A. Okay. 24 Q. And then right over here, you can 25 make this your worksheet over here. We will make 2647 1 it the next exhibit. You can, first of all, on 2 this page over here, why don't you put some 3 columns. We will start with "page" over here. 4 Put "page." 5 A. Okay. 6 Q. Then I want you to put "line." Then 7 "reason." And then finally "correction." Put 8 "reason" there. Then "correction." So let's 9 just do as you did then. 10 A. Okay. 11 Q. I want you to read from the beginning 12 of the page to the end and then carry out the 13 corrections as you claim you did then. 14 MR. CALHOUN: I will object to the procedure 15 as improper in deposition, Counsel. You are 16 permitted to ask questions of the witness. The 17 witness is not required to participate in 18 demonstrations of any form. 19 BY MR. BOWLES: 20 Q. Have you started? 21 A. No, sir. I am waiting for the 22 objection. I am waiting for the court reporter to 23 do her job here. 24 Q. Go ahead. Are you ready? Tell me 25 when you're ready. 2648 1 A. When the court reporter tells me it's 2 okay, I will be ready, sir. 3 Q. Tell you what. Go to Page 95 and do 4 it on Page 95. 5 MR. CALHOUN: Same objection. Improper for 6 a deposition format. 7 MR. BOWLES: Well, if you are going to use 8 this in trial, then we are going to be entitled to 9 do this on cross-exam. 10 MR. CALHOUN: Counsel, read the cases. They 11 limit you to a right to ask questions of the 12 witness, not to compel the witness to participate 13 in demonstrations or diagrams of any sort. 14 BY MR. BOWLES: 15 Q. Have you started, Mr. Scarff? 16 A. No, I am waiting for you two to 17 finish. 18 Q. Go ahead and start right now. 19 A. Okay. 20 Q. Okay. One minute and eight seconds. 21 Is that about how much time you took? Is this 22 about how much time you took on each page when you 23 were working through this on September 22nd, 24 1991? 25 A. I don't recall. 2649 1 Q. '92, I mean. 2 A. I don't recall. 3 Q. So are these accurate corrections 4 now? Are those accurate corrections, sir? 5 A. From what I have read just now, yes. 6 I did not read specifically the content of this. 7 You did not provide me the opportunity to read 8 three or four pages before to know what this is 9 about. Again, you are trying to pull something 10 out of context and hit me with it. It just goes 11 to show that you are losing this thing. 12 Q. Let's take a look at your actual 13 corrections for Page 95. You tell me if those are 14 correct. Why don't you read the first one that 15 you entered there. Which line was it? 16 A. Page 95, Line 6, rephrase "listed his 17 church the Christian Fellowship Church." So I 18 don't see the point. What I have in the 19 transcript it says, "He was very upset that CAN 20 had listed his organization as a cult 21 organization." I rephrased it "listed his church 22 the Christian Fellowship Church as a cult 23 organization." That's simply to clarify the 24 point. 25 Also -- 2650 1 Q. Let me ask you a question on that. 2 So you made that correction in the course of your 3 actually reviewing this Exhibit-3? 4 A. I did, yes. 5 Q. All right. Go to the next one. 6 That's an accurate correction; is that right? 7 A. Well, I signed it. Yeah. I mean, I 8 did it. 9 Q. Okay. Next one. 10 A. Line 19, go back to the sentence "And 11 that he had a major disagreement with Eugene 12 Ingram about the Cult Awareness Network because 13 Peter Paine has always said that I do not feel 14 that the Cult Awareness Network should cease to 15 exist." 16 My correction was "Peter Paine has 17 always said that he does" whereas -- this is a 18 correction here. 19 Q. Okay. That's a proper correction? 20 A. Right. As this is a conversation 21 based from Peter Paine. 22 And then Line 23. The sentence a few 23 lines before that "they should simply become more 24 honest and have integrity in what they do and how 25 they approach people and how they criticize 2651 1 people." 2 And my correction was "attacks on his 3 church." Because he was referring in this to the 4 Christian Fellowship Church and she had typed 5 "their attacks on my church are unfair" and I was 6 not a member of the Christian Fellowship Church. 7 Q. So that's a correct correction; is 8 that right? 9 A. Uh-huh. Yes. 10 Q. Thank you. 11 So how long do you recall -- the 12 three corrections you actually made on Page 95, do 13 you recall how long that would have taken you to 14 work out? 15 A. I don't recall. I mean, it was page 16 by page. I knew that my time was limited. And I 17 went as fast as I could. I saw that -- the 18 easiest things that I could pick out is that I am 19 a very good speller, sir, and I picked out the 20 misspellings in that. That's the first thing that 21 I noticed right away. And so it was just as fast 22 as I could do it given the time that I had. 23 Q. And were you kicked out of the 24 conference room at 10:30? 25 A. Was I kicked out of the conference 2652 1 room, you mean forcefully ejected? 2 Q. No. Were you asked to leave? 3 A. No. No. The manager told me that I 4 had an hour and a half. And I was -- I respected 5 that. 6 Q. So you left at 10:30? 7 A. At 10:25 I told her that I had 8 completed it. That I left the room. And then I 9 accompanied her down the hallway to a law office 10 which was on the same floor as the reporting 11 service and in that law office there was a notary 12 public. And that's who notarized this document. 13 It was a law office down the hallway. 14 Q. So you took the completed document to 15 the notary public and had it notarized before 16 her? 17 A. I didn't take it down. The manager 18 of Teach's Reporting took it down but I followed 19 her. 20 Q. And you signed it before the notary? 21 A. Yes, I did, and it was in that law 22 office. 23 Let me take a quick break, sorry. 24 About to lose my guts here. 25 MR. BOWLES: Okay. 2653 1 VIDEO OPERATOR: We will go off the record. 2 The time is 2:01 P.M. 3 (Recess taken.) 4 VIDEO OPERATOR: We are back on the record. 5 The time is 2:03 P.M. 6 BY MR. BOWLES: 7 Q. So in 90 minutes time you went 8 through all 276 pages of this, made all these 9 corrections and made these initials; is that 10 right? 11 A. As I have said before, Mr. Bowles, 12 and I believe this is the fourth time I have 13 addressed that, is I went through it as fast as I 14 could and as expediently as I could within the 15 hour and a half that I was given. And as I have 16 said before, if you have any problems with that 17 testimony, why don't you call Teach's Reporting 18 and talk to the manager and ask for her 19 recollection of that day. 20 Q. So it's your testimony that you 21 spent, what, 15 seconds on each page? 22 A. I don't recall, Mr. Bowles. 23 Q. Work out the math, Mr. Scarff. 24 A. Mr. Bowles -- 25 Q. That's what you are testifying to. 2654 1 A. No, I am not testifying to any math. 2 That's what you are bringing up, sir. You are 3 again taking something out of context here. And 4 you are asking me to speculate and speculation to 5 me is not truth and accuracy, sir, so I can't give 6 you an answer. 7 Q. What are you speculating on, 8 Mr. Scarff? Are you speculating on how much time 9 you took to do these corrections? 10 A. Mr. Bowles -- By the way, stop 11 winking at me. I know you are not attracted to me 12 so you don't need to wink at me, sir. 13 I am not going to speculate on 14 anything period. I am here to tell the truth 15 about facts. You have already said on record you 16 don't want me to guess. You don't want me to 17 estimate. You have said that several times. 18 Mr. Wiener has said, your co-counsel has sat here 19 in cross-examination and said, "I don't want you 20 to estimate. I don't want you to guess at 21 anything," and here you are, sir, telling me to 22 guess. You are telling me to speculate. So which 23 is it? Do you want me to guess or not? Make up 24 your mind. 25 Q. What is 90 divided -- what is 277 2655 1 divided by 90? 2 A. Give me a calculator and I will be 3 happy to tell you, sir. Give me a calculator, I 4 will be happy to tell you what 277 divided -- 5 Q. Why don't we just do it together. 6 A. Why don't you do it, sir. 7 MR. BOWLES: This should be marked as the 8 next exhibit in sequence, the demonstration page 9 for the corrections. I think it's 197. 10 (Plaintiff's Exhibit-No. 197 11 was marked for identification and is 12 bound separately.) 13 BY MR. BOWLES: 14 Q. We also know, don't we, Mr. Scarff, 15 that three times nine is 27. 16 A. I believe that's correct. 17 Q. Would you agree with that? 18 A. Oh, I would believe it, yeah. 19 Q. So 90 divided into 277 is pretty 20 close to three, isn't it? Might have a seven 21 remainder. Isn't that right? 22 MR. CALHOUN: Objection; Counsel, your math 23 is in error. It's 30 remainder seven. 24 MR. BOWLES: Thank you, sir. I don't think 25 so. 90 into 277. 2656 1 MR. CALHOUN: Correct. Three, remainder 2 seven. 3 BY MR. BOWLES: 4 Q. Do you agree with that, Mr. Scarff? 5 A. I am not going to agree with anything 6 until I figure it up here. And I know that you 7 want to play a math quiz here. It's three minutes 8 something. 9 Q. Tell you what, just realizing we need 10 to do it the opposite way. We need to divide 277 11 into 90, that would give us -- we will come back 12 to that. We will come back to that, all right? 13 Make any police reports on the 14 supposed conversations about murder plots, 15 Mr. Scarff? 16 A. I believe so. I believe there is a 17 police report on it, yes. 18 Q. Is it an exhibit in this case? 19 A. I believe so. 20 Q. You believe so? If it's not an 21 exhibit in this deposition, does it exist? 22 A. Mr. Bowles, you are asking me to 23 remember if one exhibit out of, I believe, what 24 now, 192 exhibits, exist? If you are going to ask 25 me that question, I will be happy to give you that 2657 1 answer. You are going to have to wait for it and 2 I will look for it. 3 Q. You are talking about the police 4 report that dealt with the Waukegan incident, 5 aren't you? 6 A. You have asked -- I will look for 7 it. 8 Q. Which you look for it, I will ask 9 this question: If it's not an exhibit in this 10 deposition, does it exist? 11 A. Sir, you have asked me one question. 12 I am going to answer one question at a time. And 13 I am going to find that exhibit now. And then I 14 will answer that first question you have. 15 Q. Exhibit-97. 16 A. Well, Mr. Bowles, I have said I am 17 going to find the first exhibit. I don't need you 18 to lead me on, sir. And since -- 19 Q. So you are going to take the time to 20 walk all the way through the exhibits; is that 21 right, sir? 22 A. You have asked me a question and I 23 have told you I want to provide you a truthful and 24 accurate answer. If you are not going to allow me 25 an opportunity to answer your question with truth 2658 1 and accuracy, what's the point of being here, 2 sir? Yes, I am going to go through my exhibits, 3 sir. 4 Q. It's the first one that's a police 5 report. 6 A. Well -- 7 Q. And it's the last. 8 A. Given the veracity you have for 9 telling the truth, I would just rather look for it 10 myself, sir. 11 Q. Exhibit-97, Portland Police Bureau, 12 Case No. 929540, time and date reported 10-25-92. 13 A. There was another reference, sir, 14 before that. And that's why I want to answer your 15 question with truth and accuracy. I just need to 16 find it. 17 Q. Mr. Scarff, we have taken about three 18 minutes for your show. 19 A. No, Mr. Bowles, I have already been 20 advised by counsel that when I need to refer to an 21 exhibit particularly an exhibit that is not 22 chronologged and I have no idea where something 23 is, that I have a right to refer to it 24 irrespective of what the cross-examination 25 attorney feels in a situation. 2659 1 Now, if you again want to go to court 2 and get a ruling on that, so be it. But while I 3 am here in this deposition, sir, you will not 4 control the manner in which I make my answers and 5 you certainly will not control the manner in which 6 I choose to refer to exhibits which is my right as 7 a witness, sir. So if that's a problem, take it 8 up with the judge. But you have asked me to refer 9 to an exhibit, which has no chronology to it. It 10 has no glossary with which I can -- 11 Q. I will withdraw the question. 12 A. Okay. 13 Q. Did you file a police report on the 14 incident that you claimed occurred on 15 November 17th, 1991 in which you met with Eugene 16 Ingram and David Butterworth to plot the murder of 17 Cynthia Kisser? 18 MR. CALHOUN: Objection; misstates the 19 evidence. 20 THE WITNESS: On November 17th did I file a 21 complaint? 22 BY MR. BOWLES: 23 Q. No. After that. 24 A. I have filed several letters which I 25 can guess you can infer as complaints regarding 2660 1 those discussions and what happened and the 2 individuals involved, yes. 3 Q. Have you filed a formal police 4 complaint with any law enforcement agency of the 5 State of California with regard to that incident? 6 A. Law enforcement. Not that I can 7 recall. Not in the State of California, no. 8 Q. That incident occurred in the State 9 of California, didn't it? 10 A. I'm sorry? 11 Q. That incident occurred in the State 12 of California, didn't it? 13 A. The police report? 14 Q. No, sir, the meeting you had on 15 November 17th as you claim that David Butterworth 16 and the other fellow, Gene Ingram to so call plot 17 the murder of Cynthia Kisser, that occurred in 18 California, didn't it? 19 A. That occurred in California, 20 correct. 21 Q. At any time have you filed a police 22 report in the State of Oregon with regard to that 23 incident? 24 A. Yes, I have. 25 Q. When was that? 2661 1 A. That's why I am going to refer to the 2 exhibit, Mr. Bowles. That's -- Mr. Bowles, you 3 are simply reiterating the first question that you 4 have withdrawn, now you are bringing it up again 5 and that's why I have chose to refer to the 6 exhibit. Now, either you want me to refer to the 7 exhibit or not. Either you have withdrawn the 8 question or it's a pending question. Make up your 9 mind, sir. You have simply reasked the question 10 which you have already withdrawn. 11 Q. No. 12 A. No. What you are trying to do is 13 prevent me from referring to the exhibit so I can 14 give you an accurate answer. You are simply 15 pulling things out of context. And I am not going 16 to let you, sir, I have a right to refer to the 17 exhibits and that's -- 18 Q. You are going to start with number 19 one, sir? 20 A. No, sir. I will show the court 21 reporter I am now on Exhibit-67. You can ask her 22 if that's accurate or not. 23 Q. So is it your testimony that if it's 24 in this set of exhibits, then it exists? 25 A. I want to make sure, sir, because I 2662 1 had a prior contact with a police official about 2 the Church of Scientology. 3 Q. Go ahead and look at Exhibit-97. It 4 will save some time. 5 A. That's one police report. Sir, there 6 is another one, if I can find it. 7 Q. There is no other police report in 8 this file, sir. And you are wasting time. 9 A. Well, you have already said on 10 record, sir, that you have all the time in the 11 world to do this. So I don't know why you are 12 complaining. I am simply referring to an 13 exhibit. 14 There is a card in here that has a 15 police officer's name on it with the Portland 16 Police Bureau which I am trying to find so I can 17 use that in my testimony. 18 Q. Okay. The question is withdrawn. 19 A. Are you sure? 20 Q. Yes. 21 A. You are positive now? 22 Q. We will come back to that. You can 23 have all the time in the world to look at a 24 break. Why don't you do this, you can look at it 25 overnight and we won't waste any time. 2663 1 A. I haven't been reading my transcripts 2 overnight, sir. 3 Q. Mr. Scarff -- 4 A. He has got the mouth. Listen to 5 him. 6 Q. Mr. Scarff, have you at any time 7 filed with any law enforcement agency either 8 within the State of California or the State of 9 Oregon have you submitted a police report on the 10 so called meeting that occurred on September 21st, 11 1991 to plot the murder of Ford Greene? 12 A. Yes, I have. 13 Q. And to which agency did you file that 14 report? 15 A. I refuse to give that information to 16 you, Mr. Bowles. 17 Q. And why is that? 18 A. I have been advised by the agency 19 that because it is a complaint which is under a 20 pending investigation, that I am under no 21 requirements to deny or confirm such an 22 investigation. And that I simply am not required 23 under any circumstances to give you that 24 information. If the judge rules that I say 25 something, whether that be in private or out in 2664 1 the courtroom situation, so be it. But I have 2 been advised that I don't have to give that 3 information. Again, you are just going to have to 4 look for it yourself, sir. You know that exists. 5 Q. Yes or no, did you file a police 6 report? 7 A. Yes, I have. 8 Q. With what agency? 9 A. I refuse to give you that 10 information, sir. 11 Q. Was it with a state agency with the 12 State of California? 13 A. Possibly. But I refuse to give you 14 that information. 15 Q. Was it with the L.A.P.D.? 16 A. I refuse to give you that 17 information. That's privileged information, sir. 18 Q. Have you ever filed a police report 19 on that incident with any Oregon law enforcement 20 agency? 21 A. I refuse to give that information. 22 Anything that I have given in context of a 23 complaint with a state local or federal agency 24 regarding the Church of Scientology and its 25 unlawful activities, I have been advised not only 2665 1 by counsel but also by these officials that that 2 is protected information. 3 Q. So we are going to have to go to 4 court to get that; is that your testimony? 5 A. I am saying go to court, sir. You 6 have already threatened me numerous times you 7 would do it, and you haven't done it yet. So I 8 wonder what the problem is. 9 Q. Strike as nonresponsive. 10 A. Okay. 11 Q. Mr. Scarff, we will go to the court 12 when we have compiled the full array of your 13 obstructionist deposition. 14 Take a look at Exhibit-19, sir. 15 A. I am sure you will lose on those 16 grounds, too, but you have nothing better to do 17 with your time, do you? 18 Q. Exhibit-19. I think maybe the court 19 reporter has the original. You can look at that. 20 A. That's all right. I have my exhibit 21 here. 22 Q. Now, you are contending that you 23 attended a planning meeting for the death of Ford 24 Greene on or about December 20, 1991, aren't you? 25 A. That's correct. 2666 1 Q. That's a fairly serious charge, isn't 2 it? 3 A. I consider it a serious charge and I 4 think you belong behind bars for it, yes. 5 Q. Strike as nonresponsive. 6 That was a pretty heavy meeting 7 according to you, wasn't it? 8 A. Define "heavy" for me. 9 Q. It was a very -- carried a lot of 10 weight, didn't it? 11 A. I think any time someone mentions 12 wanting to kill somebody that carries a lot of 13 weight. 14 Q. That subjected, according to you, a 15 whole bunch of people to criminal prosecution, 16 didn't it? 17 A. Say that again. I didn't understand 18 your question. 19 MR. BOWLES: She can read it back. 20 (Record read.) 21 THE WITNESS: I guess. I still don't 22 understand your question. No one has been 23 prosecuted for this that I know of. 24 BY MR. BOWLES: 25 Q. But it's your testimony that it would 2667 1 subject people to criminal prosecution; isn't that 2 right? 3 A. It is my -- 4 MR. CALHOUN: Objection; calls for 5 speculation. Lacks foundation. 6 THE WITNESS: It is my belief, Mr. Bowles, 7 and you should know this as an attorney, that 8 anyone that commits to killing anyone can be held 9 culpable for prosecution. That's my understanding 10 of the law. 11 BY MR. BOWLES: 12 Q. Okay. So it's important for you to 13 tell us specifically and exactly who was at that 14 meeting; isn't that right? 15 MR. CALHOUN: Objection; calls for 16 speculation. Lacks foundation. 17 THE WITNESS: That, if that's how you 18 characterize it, sir, so be it. 19 BY MR. BOWLES: 20 Q. Well, you would remember that meeting 21 pretty vividly, wouldn't you? 22 A. I remember the meeting. 23 Q. Vividly; is that right? 24 A. Mr. Bowles, what's vivid to you? 25 Q. Do you remember every single person 2668 1 who was at that meeting? 2 A. I seem to recall the people that were 3 in attendance, yes. 4 Q. And you have told the truth each time 5 you have recounted that meeting, haven't you? 6 A. I have tried, yes. 7 Q. Was Randy Spencer at that meeting? 8 A. No. He was not. 9 Q. You have said in a court document 10 that Randy Spencer was at a meeting, haven't you? 11 A. Mr. Bowles, we have gone over this 12 and I have gone over this at least twice on record 13 as to that comment and I am not going to answer 14 the question again. The record speaks for 15 itself. It's in the transcript. You can refer to 16 it. You have been reading the transcripts on a 17 daily basis, not I. And you know where it's at. 18 You know I corrected this. 19 Q. That's not my question, Mr. Scarff. 20 A. You have asked it and I have answered 21 it, Mr. Bowles. Move on because I am not going to 22 play these little shenanigan games with you. 23 That's what you do at the church. I don't have 24 time for it, sir. Show some maturity, will you? 25 Q. Strike as nonresponse. 2669 1 A. It is responsive and it's true. 2 Q. Have you ever claimed in a court 3 document that Randy Spencer attended this 4 meeting? 5 A. Asked and answered, Counselor. You 6 have already asked it on record. You have asked 7 it at least twice already during this deposition. 8 I have gone to great lengths to clarify it. If 9 you have nothing more to do then to spend your 10 time dwiddling with things that have already been 11 discussed, it's very apparent that you are losing 12 and you have no place to go with this. So why are 13 we here? I am not under any constraints to 14 constantly answer questions that have already been 15 asked and answered, sir. You have asked and I 16 have answered. 17 Q. You have the obligation to answer 18 questions in a cross-examination. 19 A. Not when you have asked and it's been 20 answered already. I have already answered to 21 great detail about this declaration. It's on 22 record. 23 Q. To Mr. Berry. 24 A. It's on record. 25 Q. Not on cross-examination, have you? 2670 1 A. Yes. I have. Mr. Wiener brought it 2 up and you have brought it up. 3 Q. The record will speak for itself. 4 A. The record speaks for itself. I have 5 already went over great lengths particularly with 6 Mr. Wiener in this. And as far as Mr. Berry, yes, 7 I have gone over with great lengths with 8 Mr. Berry. You could have been here if you wanted 9 to, but you were obstructionist to this 10 deposition. 11 Q. Strike as nonresponsive. 12 A. Deliberately obstructing this 13 deposition with a bad faith ex parte application 14 which was thrown right out the window, sir. That 15 was your doing, not mine, sir. Don't blame me. 16 Just because you can't behave in the court process 17 it's your problem, not mine. 18 Q. Strike as nonresponsive. 19 In your court document when you claim 20 Randy Spencer was at the meeting, that was a lie, 21 wasn't it, Mr. Scarff? 22 A. Asked and answered. Let's move on. 23 Q. Who was actually at that meeting in 24 place of Mr. Spencer? 25 A. Court records speak for itself, 2671 1 Mr. Bowles. Asked and answered. 2 Q. You have claimed that Laurie 3 Bartilson was at the meeting instead of 4 Mr. Spencer, haven't you? 5 A. Asked and answered. 6 Q. You are going to refuse to answer 7 that question; is that right? 8 A. Asked and answered, sir. 9 Q. Randy Spencer is a little difficult 10 to differentiate from Laurie Bartilson; is that 11 your testimony? 12 MR. CALHOUN: Objection; argumentative. 13 THE WITNESS: Asked and answered, 14 Counselor. 15 BY MR. BOWLES: 16 Q. Did you mistake Randy Spencer for 17 Laurie Bartilson, sir? 18 A. Asked and answered. 19 Q. When was it asked and answered? 20 A. The record speaks for itself. 21 Q. You are refusing to answer that 22 question? 23 A. I refuse to answer this question, 24 yes. I am not going to be toyed with by an 25 attorney who can't make any sense of what's going 2672 1 on here. Cross-examination does not give you the 2 right to squash people at will simply because it's 3 fun for you to do so. This is a very serious 4 process. It's already on record. 5 Q. Do you feel like you are getting 6 squashed, Mr. Scarff? 7 A. No, Mr. Bowles, but I know exactly 8 why you are here and half the world, half the 9 judicial system that knows what justice is all 10 about knows exactly why you are here and that's 11 why you lose most of your law cases that you file 12 in the first place. Let's not toy with it. The 13 only person you are fooling is yourself. You have 14 no integrity whatsoever when it comes to the 15 judicial system to begin with. 16 Q. Strike as nonresponsive. 17 A. Only to Scientology is it 18 nonresponsive, but you have a distorted reality 19 anyway, Mr. Bowles. The only person obstructing 20 this is you. You are obstructing this. Because 21 you are refusing to recognize my rights as a 22 witness even though Judge Tassopoulos has ruled on 23 it and I have followed that. If you want me to 24 refer to the specific exhibit, I will be happy to 25 do so, but you just choose, because it doesn't 2673 1 serve your purpose, to ignore that part of it. 2 Well, I am saying if you want me to 3 answer any further questions with regards to this 4 declaration, you are going to have to get the 5 judge to do it because frankly I think the judge 6 will show a little bit more maturity in this 7 matter than you are capable of, sir. 8 Q. You are going to answer no more 9 questions with regard to the meeting; is that 10 right? 11 A. I have asked and answered it, sir. 12 You asked me about it. I have went in great 13 detail about this declaration. 14 Q. I am not talking just about the 15 declaration. I am talking about the December 21st 16 meeting. 17 A. You have asked me that already, 18 Mr. Bowles. 19 Q. You are not going to answer any more 20 questions about that meeting; is that right? 21 A. No. I don't think I have to. If a 22 judge rules differently, so be it. In fact, I 23 probably feel a lot more comfortable discussing it 24 in front of a judge. 25 Q. Who is Eric Moran? 2674 1 A. Mr. Bowles. Will you never stop 2 playing games? 3 Q. Just answer the question. Who is 4 Eric Moran? 5 A. I am answering the question. Will 6 you never stop playing games? 7 Q. Yes or no, do you know who Eric Moran 8 is? 9 A. Eric Moran -- Mr. Bowles, you know as 10 well as I do that we are referring to Aron Mason 11 here and that you filed this entire document with 12 the court simply to play games with the facts that 13 I made a mistake mispronouncing Aron's name as 14 Eric Moran, and it was a running joke in your law 15 firm. It was a running joke with you and it was a 16 running joke with Aron Mason and you knew it, Aron 17 knew it and I knew it. Even Gwen Mayfield knew it 18 because we joked about it. 19 For you to sit here looking real 20 serious in front of the camera and talking about a 21 very simple mispronunciation of someone's name, 22 really shows you have a hell of a lot of integrity 23 to speak of which is (inaudible sound). 24 Q. Nice act. 25 A. I don't have to act, sir. You have 2675 1 really shown what lack of integrity you have 2 here. 3 Q. So you filed a court document 4 accusing people of plotting a murder and it's just 5 easy for you to say Eric Moran? That's your 6 answer; is that right? 7 A. No, Mr. -- Tim, come on now. Why 8 the game? Why the games, Tim? Why don't we get 9 serious here. Why can't you be serious with 10 this? You know who I am referring to. And there 11 is no point of going on. You are simply taking 12 something very minute and making a powder keg out 13 of it. It makes no sense at all. 14 Are you also going to get onto me for 15 the fact when I first met you and knew you, I 16 spelled your name B O L E S? Are you going to 17 drag me through the mud because I misspelled your 18 name? Are you going to file a declaration against 19 me because I misspelled your name? I mean, that's 20 what you are talking about here. 21 Are you enjoying yourself? You must 22 be, I think you should get a close-up on this 23 man's face right now because you are really 24 getting a lot of kicks out of this, aren't you. 25 Q. You can accuse Eric Moran -- you can 2676 1 accuse Aron Mason of plotting a murder and just 2 misplace his name; is that your testimony? 3 A. Who is Eric Mason. 4 Q. Aron Mason. 5 A. You said Eric Mason. 6 Q. I will rephrase the question. You 7 can just lightly take Aron Mason and misrepresent 8 his name in a court document when you are accusing 9 him of plotting a murder; is that right? 10 MR. CALHOUN: Objection; argumentative. 11 THE WITNESS: Yeah. I mean, you are talking 12 about speculation here. Mr. Bowles, you know who 13 I am talking about. Let's move on. I mean, your 14 Exhibit-No. 20 is a real piece of work. How long 15 did it take -- 16 MR. BOWLES: Strike as nonresponsive. 17 THE WITNESS: How long did it take you to 18 work on this? 19 MR. BOWLES: Strike as nonresponsive. 20 THE WITNESS: I didn't say anything. What 21 did you strike as nonresponsive? You are losing 22 it. 23 BY MR. BOWLES: 24 Q. It's a false statement when you said 25 Eric Moran was involved in that meeting, isn't 2677 1 it? 2 A. Asked and answered, Counselor. 3 Q. So you are going to refuse to answer 4 that question, aren't you? 5 A. You have already asked it, sir. You 6 have been playing games with that name for at 7 least ten minutes now. 8 Q. Are you going to refuse to answer the 9 question? Is that right? 10 A. Mr. Bowles, I have answered the 11 question. 12 Q. Exhibit-67. Jim Boland declaration. 13 Mr. Scarff -- 14 A. Yes, Tim. 15 Q. -- is this thing entirely true, sir? 16 A. This declaration here? 17 Q. Yes. 18 A. Oh, absolutely not. This specific 19 exhibit, absolutely not. This was written, as you 20 well know, Mr. Bowles, during the time that I was 21 in Scientology working with the Office of Special 22 Affairs. And I can honestly say now that I would 23 ask anybody to suspect anything that I said to be 24 the truth when I was involved in Scientology, 25 because Scientology is built on lies. You teach 2678 1 people how to lie. You taught me how to lie and I 2 lied very well for your purpose. 3 And this little piece of information 4 here, which is in the exhibit, was drawn up during 5 the time that I was in Scientology. So I will be 6 honest and say this has no integrity whatsoever. 7 There are certainly some facts in here but the 8 tone of it, which is indictive of the Cult 9 Awareness Network, was a piece of work created for 10 the benefit of the Church of Scientology and for 11 the benefit of Bowles & Moxon. 12 So I don't know why you are asking me 13 about it. You know why it was written. You know 14 when it was written. And you should be asking 15 your co-associates why this was drawn up. 16 Q. Okay. Let's take a look at your 17 Page 143 to 147. You will see the context of 18 this, Mr. Scarff. This is in your deposition, 19 direct examination. Context of this is we are 20 talking about Exhibit-67. I want you to read for 21 us Lines 8 through 14. 22 A. You mean Paragraph 8. 23 Q. No, Page 147, Lines 8 through 14. 24 Counsel, here is the context of it so 25 you can see what it is. 2679 1 THE WITNESS: Sure. Thanks 2 BY MR. BOWLES: 3 Q. When I say "context," I gave you the 4 earlier pages from 143 on. 5 A. "Q. Are the contents of 6 this declaration true and 7 correct? 8 "A. As I recall the -- 9 yes, as I recall, that's 10 correct. Later I spoke with 11 Mr. Boland because Mr. Boland 12 himself prepared a declaration 13 and there were just a few 14 incidents that we disagree on 15 about what happened." 16 Q. Thank you. Mr. Scarff, will you pass 17 me those pages as well, please. 18 A. Oh. Sorry. 19 Q. So, which is it, Mr. Scarff? Is it 20 true and correct or is it not? 21 A. Well, it's disputable, Mr. Bowles, 22 because as the testimony I read just asserted, I 23 said, as I recall what happened, but Mr. Bowles 24 himself has disputed some of the things that I 25 have said. 2680 1 Q. Mr. Bowles? 2 A. Mr. Boland has disputed some of the 3 things. And I believe in this exhibit is a copy 4 of his statement where he refutes some of the 5 things I said. Yes, in fact, it's Exhibit-68, 6 which refutes certain things that I said in 7 Exhibit-67. So whether that's true and correct is 8 speculative. I have said it. I believe them to 9 be true at the time. Jim Boland is saying some of 10 the facts are different then as he remembered it. 11 So you are going to have to either believe me or 12 believe Jim Boland. It's your decision, sir. 13 Q. Which is it, Mr. Scarff? Is it true 14 what you just said, that the contents are true and 15 correct except for the few things that Mr. Boland 16 corrected, or is it true what you said just a few 17 minutes ago that the entire document is false? 18 A. I didn't say the entire document was 19 false, sir. I never said the entire document was 20 false. I said that when I wrote this that I was 21 in the Church of Scientology. My mind-set at that 22 time, sir, was to destroy the Cult Awareness 23 Network and destroy the individuals with it. I 24 was part and party to your whole scheme to get rid 25 of the Cult Awareness Network. 2681 1 I have never denied on film, sir, 2 that it was my desire or my attempt during the 3 time that I was involved in Scientology to destroy 4 the Cult Awareness Network. I wanted to destroy 5 them just as much as you did, sir. I wanted to 6 destroy Cynthia Kisser and put her out of 7 existence just as much as you did, Tim. I hated 8 them. And I hated her as much as you did. 9 Unfortunately, I learned some truths 10 when I left Scientology which are a lot different 11 than the distorted reality I lived in when I was 12 in your church. 13 Q. Who do you hate now, Mr. Scarff? 14 A. I don't hate anybody. In fact, I 15 don't even hate you. You have shown me over these 16 last few weeks what you are doing and I feel sorry 17 for you. I think this is going to haunt you. 18 Q. Are you done? 19 A. No. I am just saying in the long run 20 this is going to haunt you. And that one day and 21 it's my hope one day that you will be out of 22 Scientology, sir, and you will be on this side of 23 the table giving testimony. And I think that's 24 going to happen some time soon. Anyway, that's my 25 opinion. 2682 1 What I am saying, sir, is that when I 2 created this, I was a Scientologist. I was in the 3 Church of Scientology. I had the mind-set to get 4 at the Cult Awareness Network. So I am saying you 5 can judge this however you wish. There are people 6 within the Church of Scientology that would look 7 at this and say, yes, it is absolutely true, it's 8 absolutely correct. It sounds reasonable. 9 There are people in the Cult 10 Awareness Network that would look at that and say 11 it's not correct. It's out of -- it's distorted. 12 Q. What's your testimony now, is it true 13 or is it false? 14 A. I am going to say only, Mr. Bowles, 15 that I wrote this, and I am not going to play this 16 little black and white game with you that you want 17 to play. It is true based upon my recollections, 18 but there are pieces in this, and I haven't read 19 it, but I think there are pieces in this that kind 20 of incriminates the Cult Awareness Network because 21 I have written a lot of stuff against the Cult 22 Awareness Network at the directives of Scientology 23 officials which is not true. And I would have to 24 read this paragraph by paragraph before, I could 25 tell you what's true and not true about it. 2683 1 Q. When you testified before when you 2 said it was true and correct, you hadn't read it 3 yet paragraph by paragraph? 4 A. Mr. Bowles, you are playing games 5 again. 6 Q. Yes or no? Did you read it paragraph 7 by paragraph before you told Mr. Berry on direct 8 examination that it was true and correct? 9 A. Mr. Bowles, I want to read certain 10 parts of it before I give you an answer, sir. 11 Q. I guess the film will show whether 12 you read it or not, won't it? 13 MR. CALHOUN: Objection; argumentative. 14 THE WITNESS: And you could have been here 15 to see me doing it but you were toying around with 16 the system and refusing not to show up. 17 MR. BOWLES: Strike as nonresponsive. 18 THE WITNESS: Nonresponsive but very true. 19 BY MR. BOWLES: 20 Q. Are you finding some false statements 21 in there, Mr. Scarff? 22 A. Why don't you play with your 23 paralegal over here. I am busy. 24 MR. BOWLES: Strike as nonresponsive. 25 THE WITNESS: Unresponsive but true. 2684 1 BY MR. BOWLES: 2 Q. What did you just read there, 3 Mr. Scarff? 4 A. Paragraph 10 states, 5 "Later Anne would 6 confront the Boland parents with 7 our fee schedules. Anne, $100 a 8 day plus expenses; Vince, $200 a 9 day plus expenses; Ray, $100 a 10 day plus expenses; Gary, $250 a 11 day plus expenses, and Bob 12 Brandeberry, $400 a day plus 13 expenses. This alarmed 14 Mr. Boland who asked to speak 15 with me outside privately." 16 That's not correct. I know that Anne 17 confronted the Bolands regarding payment, but 18 again, I don't know how much everyone else 19 charged. And my fee was certainly not $250 a day 20 plus expenses. 21 Q. I think you have answered my question 22 adequately. 23 A. No, the body of it is correct. The 24 body of it is true. Since you have chosen not to 25 let me review it, I can't give you a definite 2685 1 answer. 2 Q. Mr. Scarff -- 3 A. And I think I have already corrected 4 Page 8, Paragraph 1 regarding the parish. 5 MR. BOWLES: Okay. 6 VIDEO OPERATOR: We will go off the record. 7 The time is 2:38 P.M. 8 (Recess taken.) 9 VIDEO OPERATOR: We are back on the record. 10 The time is 3:03 P.M. 11 BY MR. BOWLES: 12 Q. Mr. Scarff, let me ask you a question 13 about some of your truthful testimony before 14 Mr. Berry. 15 MR. CALHOUN: Objection; argumentative. 16 BY MR. BOWLES: 17 Q. Your testimony to Mr. Berry was 18 truthful, wasn't it? 19 A. Uh-huh. Yes. 20 Q. Is that a "yes"? 21 A. I just gave it to her. 22 Q. Okay, good. I would like you to 23 read, and this is in relation to -- do you want to 24 see the context, Exhibit-9, walking through these 25 paragraph numbers, if you want to see Exhibit-9 to 2686 1 start with, that might be a first place to start. 2 Take a look at Paragraph 102 to get you oriented. 3 Are you there? 4 A. Uh-huh. 5 MR. BOWLES: Okay. Counsel, I am going to 6 hand you for the witness Page 998 of this 7 transcript. 8 Q. Mr. Scarff, if you would please read 9 from Line 1 to Line 6. 10 A. "102, 102 is true with 11 the exception of the marijuana 12 jars. They were very small jars 13 that had buds, marijuana buds in 14 them, whereas Eugene would like 15 you to believe there are these 16 three gigantic bottles that had 17 all these stalks in them. He 18 really inflated that." 19 Q. Okay. Thank you. So that's correct 20 testimony? 21 A. Yes, it is. 22 Q. There aren't any typos in that? 23 A. No. 24 Q. And your testimony before Mr. Leipold 25 on September 11th, 1992 was truthful; is that 2687 1 right? 2 A. Yes, it was. 3 Q. Exhibit-3, if you have that. I think 4 you might have that over there. If you could 5 please turn to Page 213 of Exhibit-3. If you want 6 to go back to satisfy yourself, you are talking 7 here about the declaration as to Ford Greene. 8 A. Okay. 9 Q. 209, the question at Line 8 and 10 beyond will show you that. 11 A. 209 -- 8. 12 Q. Mr. Leipold is asking you about this 13 Greene declaration. 14 A. Yes. 15 Q. So if you would please read at Page 16 213 starting at Line 23. 17 A. "Greene frequently smoked 18 marijuana in my presence. That 19 is true. It is true in his 20 apartment he's got three huge 21 jars and that they're full of 22 marijuana stalks." 23 Q. That's fine. So which is true, what 24 you told Mr. Leipold on September 11th, 1992 or 25 what you told Mr. Berry in the first part of this 2688 1 deposition? 2 A. Well, I think both of them are true. 3 Q. Were they large jars or small jars? 4 A. Let me see the testimony that I have 5 attested to already. 6 Q. Page 998. 7 A. They were Mason jars. That's what I 8 remember them to be. But they weren't large 9 canisters. In Eugene Ingram's declaration it says 10 three large Mason-style canisters in his office. 11 Each was probably two or three gallons in size. I 12 have never seen a Mason jar that you use to pack 13 preservatives or fruit or any stuff like that 14 that's two to three gallons in size. Have you? 15 Q. Is that your testimony? 16 A. That's my testimony. I am asking 17 have you ever seen, because I have never seen, a 18 Mason jar that is two to three gallons in 19 capacity? But I remember -- 20 Q. Were these very small jars or were 21 they very large jars? 22 A. You know, I don't recall, 23 Mr. Bowles. I remember specifically there were 24 three jars that had marijuana in them. 25 Q. Now you don't recall? 2689 1 A. Mr. Bowles. 2 Q. Are you certain -- how big were they, 3 Mr. Scarff? 4 A. They were Mason jars, Mr. -- 5 Q. Why don't you just show us with your 6 hands how big they were. 7 A. I remember them to be this size. And 8 that's the size of Mason jars. That's what you 9 put fruit and stuff into. That's what it was in. 10 It was Mason jars. 11 Q. Would you call those huge or very 12 small? 13 A. First of all, a Mason jar is usually 14 about this size. This Mason jar was about this 15 size. To me that's a little bigger than a small 16 Mason jar. 17 Q. So is that huge or very small? 18 A. Good question. I would say 19 considering the usual size of a Mason jar, it 20 would probably be bigger, maybe not as huge but 21 bigger. 22 Q. It was certainly not very small, are 23 they? 24 A. Huh? No. Are you going to ask me 25 whether it was two or three? I mean, that's 2690 1 pretty irrelevant but the fact is three basic jars 2 existed. 3 Q. We have got your testimony now. 4 A. Okay. Bugs Bunny rides again. 5 Q. Do you think it's funny when you told 6 inconsistencies under oath? 7 A. No. I think it's funny that you take 8 very small things out of context and blow them up 9 and mushroom them -- 10 Q. It's not black or white, is it, 11 Mr. Scarff? 12 A. It's black and white to you as a 13 Scientologist. 14 Q. I am asking you. 15 A. But everyone else in the world looks 16 at you and laughs because you make such absolute 17 ridiculous things in court that have no bearing on 18 anybody other than to harass and intimidate them. 19 Why is it that most of the cases -- 20 Q. Are you certain about your testimony 21 or not? 22 A. Huh? I am saying to the best of my 23 recollection. If the tables were turned, I doubt 24 that you could remember things that happened many 25 years ago. 2691 1 Q. It's your deposition, Mr. Scarff. 2 A. Oh. 3 Q. We are trying to nail you down to 4 what your true story is. 5 A. Don't be surprised if you don't get 6 hit with a subpoena pretty soon for a deposition. 7 Q. Is that a threat? 8 A. I want to see what happens with you. 9 No. I want to see your veracity and your 10 honesty. I want to see you melt like a hot piece 11 of butter because I know you couldn't stand up 12 under it. That's one -- 13 Q. When you get angry, Mr. Scarff, you 14 lie, don't you? 15 MR. CALHOUN: Objection; argumentative. 16 BY MR. BOWLES: 17 Q. When you are angry, you lie, don't 18 you? 19 MR. CALHOUN: Objection; argumentative. 20 THE WITNESS: Mr. Bowles, when I was angry 21 as a Scientologist, I lied right and left all the 22 time for Scientology. And I lied for you, 23 Mr. Bowles, in the complaint that you drafted up 24 and that you were going to file in the courts on 25 my behalf. I lied like crazy and you, sir, lied 2692 1 like crazy. So don't sit here with a halo on your 2 head. You have no integrity whatsoever to speak 3 of. 4 BY MR. BOWLES: 5 Q. Did you ever lie when you were angry 6 before Scientology, Mr. Scarff? 7 A. Excuse me? When I was angry, I don't 8 recall. I don't think so. 9 Q. Let's take a look at it. 10 A. Okay. 11 Q. Exhibit-29. 12 A. Yes. 13 Q. Did you lie in this letter to 14 Reverand Kerns? 15 A. There are some things in here that 16 are inaccurate. There are some things that are 17 very accurate. 18 Q. You were upset at the time, weren't 19 you, Mr. Scarff? 20 A. I was upset that I had been kicked 21 out of the seminary. I wasn't angry at any 22 specific person, no. 23 Q. It's your testimony when you are 24 angry and upset, you lash out, isn't it? 25 A. No, sir, it's not my testimony to 2693 1 that. It was my testimony then in May of 1991 2 that's exactly what I did. And it's quite 3 surprising that even given this that Scientology 4 welcomed me back and accepted me as an honorable 5 member of the church again even after this. So 6 it's real surprising to me that you would sit here 7 and blast me for being angry and lying in May of 8 1991, when I had association with church officials 9 even after that and they had no problem with that 10 whatsoever. 11 Q. You have had a life-long problem with 12 lying under stress, haven't you? 13 A. And you have had a life-long problem 14 with criminality. 15 Q. Just answer my questions, Mr. Scarff, 16 yes or no? 17 A. No, I don't have to answer based upon 18 what you want, Mr. Bowles. I am here to tell the 19 truth. 20 Q. What's your testimony? 21 A. You have a life-long history of lying 22 yourself, so what's the difference? 23 Q. Strike as nonresponsive. 24 You're the witness, Mr. Scarff. You 25 have had a life-long practice of lying when you 2694 1 are under stress, haven't you? 2 A. No. 3 MR. CALHOUN: Objection; argumentative. 4 BY MR. BOWLES: 5 Q. Let's take a look at that, 6 Mr. Scarff. 7 A. Can't deal with the heat, can you, 8 Tim. 9 Q. Just answer my questions, we will get 10 through this. 11 A. Oh, I am having a good ol' time, 12 Mr. Bowles. I want the truth to come out. I am 13 not going to rush this whatsoever because the more 14 that you do this, the more you just trip yourself 15 up, sir. The world looks at it in anticipation 16 what Scientology will do next. 17 Q. Page 1267 of the transcript. 18 Mr. Scarff, why don't you read from Line 18 of 19 that page and take it through to Line 18 of the 20 following page. Thank you. 21 A. I would like to see the preface pages 22 to this, please. 23 Q. I think it will speak for itself. 24 A. I would like to see the preface pages 25 to this, please. 2695 1 Q. Why don't you read this and see if 2 you need any preface pages. 3 A. I have just made a request. I am not 4 going to read it until I see the preface pages. 5 Q. That is the preface page, Mr. Scarff. 6 Go to Line 25 now -- 7 A. I would like to see 1260 to 1266, 8 please so I know what I am reading. 9 Q. You are reading about Exhibit-29, 10 sir. 11 A. Sir, I don't trust you worth shit so 12 I want to see 1260 to 1266, please. Hand it down, 13 please. 14 MR. BOWLES: Strike as nonresponsive. 15 MR. CALHOUN: Thank you, Counsel. 16 THE WITNESS: Thank you. 17 BY MR. BOWLES: 18 Q. Mr. Scarff, Line 18 of the page you 19 are now looking at to Line 18 of the following 20 page, sir. Read it out loud. Please. 21 A. I am not finished reading this. 22 "Q. Now, where in this 23 letter, Exhibit-29, is the next 24 reference to the Church of 25 Scientology? 2696 1 "A. Well, 7 refers to -- 2 I read 'church' at the top line, 3 but again until it gets down to 4 the last four sentences, I 5 cannot read it. It's not 6 legible. But I do refer to the 7 occasion where -- wait a 8 second -- no. No. At least 9 the bottom portion of the 10 paragraph is not true. Because 11 I talk about being taken to a 12 bridge in Washington Park and 13 being tied up and held upside 14 down by the bridge" -- "by the 15 bridge and threatened until I 16 confessed my intentions. 17 "Q. And was that true? 18 "A. No. 19 "Q. Was there a reason 20 it was written there? 21 "A. I was angry. I was 22 upset. Certainly the places in 23 this had relevance to me because 24 the places that I referred to, 25 Washington Park, Vista Bridge, 2697 1 suicide, were things that I had 2 considered on at least two 3 occasions. And it had some 4 relevancy to my experience at 5 the time. But, no, this was a 6 comment that I created. And the 7 purpose was to get church 8 officials angry and I think I 9 succeeded in doing that." 10 Q. Is that a true transcription, 11 Mr. Scarff? 12 A. Yes, it is. 13 Q. Is that true testimony, Mr. Scarff? 14 A. Yes, Tim, it is. 15 Mr. Calhoun. 16 MR. CALHOUN: Thank you. I'm sorry. 17 THE WITNESS: This goes with it. 18 MR. CALHOUN: Thank you. 19 BY MR. BOWLES: 20 Q. So you now are going to deny that you 21 lie when you get angry? 22 A. No. I don't lie. I lied when I got 23 angry then. But, you know, something, Mr. Bowles, 24 I had the benefit and it's the first time I had 25 ever done it, when I left Scientology, I sought 2698 1 therapy and it was intensive. And I had the 2 benefit of intensive therapy for months, and it's 3 the very first gift that I ever gave myself. And 4 I can honestly say after months of therapy with a 5 psychotherapist, God, am I so glad that I turned 6 my back on Scientology and I left it. Because I 7 am no longer a part of this insidious, evil, 8 criminal organization that you belong to. 9 Q. Who was your therapist? 10 A. And thank, God. Diane Benscoter is 11 my therapist. 12 Q. Are you claiming a privilege? 13 A. Yes. 14 Q. So you are not going to tell me 15 anything about the content of those sessions with 16 Diane Benscoter; is that right? 17 A. You know as well as I do, it's none 18 of your damn business and you are not going to get 19 a peep out of me. 20 Q. Is she a licensed psychotherapist? 21 A. Check it out yourself. 22 Q. Which state is she licensed in? 23 A. Oregon. 24 Q. Is she a deprogrammer? 25 A. Mr. Bowles, ask her because I don't 2699 1 know. If she was, I wouldn't know it. No, she 2 has to be a psychotherapist which is actually 3 accredited which is something your therapists and 4 your counselors are not, although they purport to 5 be. And for the first time in my life I can 6 actually say I am free of this criminal entity in 7 which you are so much a part of and you work for. 8 Q. When did you get these sessions? 9 A. None of your damn business. You take 10 it up with someone else. 11 Q. When was the first session you had? 12 A. Asked and answered. 13 Q. When was the last session you had? 14 A. It's none of your business. It's 15 private. It's personal. 16 Q. You're refusing to answer any 17 questions in this area; is that right? 18 A. Yes, I am. That's personal 19 information. That's privacy. Judge Tassopoulos 20 has granted me the right to provide that whether 21 it was -- 22 Q. She has granted you the right to 23 assert it. 24 A. I have asserted it, sir. You can't 25 seem to get it through your thick head that I have 2700 1 asserted it, but I have asserted it. So you are 2 going to have to abide by the judge's ruling. 3 Q. And you will abide by the court's 4 ruling? 5 A. If the court orders me to do it, I 6 will certainly take it up on those grounds, yes. 7 Q. Have you ever claimed that Diane 8 Benscoter is a deprogrammer? 9 A. That's none of your business, sir. 10 Any comment -- 11 Q. Why is that -- 12 A. Because any conversations between me 13 relating to my therapist in a therapist-client 14 privilege is privileged information. Anything 15 regarding my therapist I consider personal and 16 privileged information. And I think the court 17 will back me up on that. Thank God the judge in 18 this case is not a Scientologist. Praise God. 19 But they are going to back me up on this. So play 20 your games with someone else, sir. 21 Q. Have you ever testified under oath 22 that Diane Benscoter is a deprogrammer? 23 A. Asked and answered, Counselor. 24 Q. Are you refusing to answer that 25 question? 2701 1 A. Asked and answered, Counselor. 2 Q. So yes or no, are you refusing? 3 A. Asked and answered. 4 Q. So did you give false information to 5 Mr. Ingram that you told him to leave in the 6 declaration on Exhibit-9? 7 A. I'm sorry, I didn't understand your 8 question. 9 Q. Did you give false information to 10 Mr. Ingram which he then put into Exhibit-9? 11 A. No. Absolutely not. I told him 12 exactly what happened. How he drafted and 13 paraphrased it was his business. 14 Q. Did you ever see false information in 15 Exhibit-13 which you said "just leave in there"? 16 A. I didn't understand what you just 17 said. 18 Q. Exhibit-13, remember that one? 19 A. I have it in front of me now. 20 Q. Okay. That's the one in Oklahoma 21 City; right? 22 A. Right. This is the one you said is 23 simply a copy word for word from Exhibit-9 with 24 the exception to the specific events involving 25 Eddy Fallon. 2702 1 Q. Well, we are asking you for your 2 testimony. 3 A. That's what you told me. That's in 4 the record, sir. You have stated this in the 5 record. 6 Q. How do you recognize it, sir? 7 A. Well, after we went through this in 8 quite depth, both you and Mr. Bowles, I realize 9 that there -- the paragraphs in Exhibit-13 are 10 parallel to the paragraphs in Exhibit-9 with the 11 exception to the comments about Eddy Fallon and 12 then there was one other thing regarding hours. 13 Seven to 12 hours of time it took them to get him 14 to Bellevue. That's what I remember as being the 15 similarities and the differences in these two 16 declarations. 17 Q. When you read that declaration and 18 prior to signing it, did you notice anything that 19 was untrue in that? 20 A. In this declaration? 21 Q. Exhibit-13, yes, sir. 22 A. Yes. The only thing -- well, again, 23 as you have said on record, Mr. Bowles, this 24 deposition is simply a copy of Exhibit-9, the 25 other declaration, or taken by Eugene Ingram. And 2703 1 that it's word for word. So, of course, if there 2 are lies and mistruths in Exhibit-9, there are 3 certainly going to be lies and mistruths in 4 Exhibit-13. 5 Q. Listen to my question. I think you 6 have already testified that you didn't have a 7 chance to read Exhibit-9 very thoroughly. 8 A. Not 9, no. But 13 -- 9 Q. Exhibit-13 you did, didn't you? 10 A. Yes, I did, and I have seen 11 Exhibit-9, because as I have also said before on 12 record, and I believe I have said it at least 13 twice, is that following the time that I signed 14 this before Eugene Ingram flew back to Los Angeles 15 he provided me copies me of all this stuff. 16 Q. Exhibit-13, when you read through it 17 prior to signing it, did you notice anything that 18 was false in that declaration? 19 A. Yes, I did. I know -- 20 Q. Did you give instructions, 21 Mr. Scarff, to leave the false statements in? 22 A. No. I didn't -- no. 23 Q. Did you say to the people that were 24 present to leave false statements in this 25 declaration? 2704 1 A. I'm sorry. Say that again. 2 MR. BOWLES: Can you read it back. 3 (Record read.) 4 THE WITNESS: No, I didn't. Because I was 5 at the mind-set of that time being that I was in 6 Oklahoma and I was talking out against CAN that I 7 really put my trust at that point into Scientology 8 to help me out. I surrendered to Scientology. 9 And the fact that Eugene Ingram had come to 10 Portland and that we had talked on numerous 11 occasions and had met, I considered at that time 12 Eugene Ingram to be a friend. Despite everything 13 that had happened, despite the duress, despite the 14 threats, I really thought maybe now I have got a 15 chance to make it in this world and be happy. And 16 I put my trust into Eugene Ingram. 17 And, in fact, that's why in Oklahoma 18 I sat down with David Butterworth and I asked him 19 what conditions I had to do in order to be 20 accepted. And he said I was doing them. 21 No, my mind-set at the time, sir, is 22 that I wanted to be pleasing in the sight of 23 Eugene Ingram and David Butterworth. I looked up 24 at that time to David Butterworth. And I knew a 25 lot of this information was untrue, but I was 2705 1 prepared to expose it anyway because I wanted to 2 be part of the group. 3 Q. Did you say to leave it in? 4 A. No. I didn't say anything to leave 5 it in. Who am I to tell a private investigator 6 working for you, Mr. Bowles, your private 7 investigator, Mr. Bowles, we are talking about 8 here, not someone in your law firm, but we are 9 talking about your employee, Mr. Bowles, who am I 10 to tell you that you can't do this? This is 11 something you pay him to do on a continual basis. 12 I don't have any rights to tell Mr. Bowles, the 13 attorney sitting here next to me, that he doesn't 14 have the right to produce this garbage. Who am I 15 to say you can't do this, sir? 16 Q. So you didn't say to leave anything 17 in there that's false; is that right? 18 A. No. 19 Q. Okay. Thank you. 20 Let's take a look at Exhibit-3 once 21 more. 22 A. Okay. 23 Q. Your truthful statement to 24 Mr. Leipold. And let's go to Page 123. 25 A. Okay. 2706 1 Q. Please read from Line 7 to Line 12. 2 A. Line 7. 3 "A. When I was in 4 Oklahoma City there were things 5 in my declaration that I was 6 disturbed about because they 7 were not an honest 8 representation. And this may 9 sound crazy. There's a lot of 10 things in that declaration which 11 were untrue that I supported. I 12 said leave it in the 13 declaration." 14 Well, I guess I did say it. 15 Q. Okay. So it's not true that you 16 didn't say it; is that right? 17 A. Well, if I have already attested in a 18 declaration that I said it, and I don't remember 19 it, I am not going to sit here and say I didn't 20 say it. I didn't remember until you refreshed my 21 memory. Thank you. You refreshed my memory. 22 Q. So this is true, you did say to leave 23 it in? 24 A. Well, I have already attested to it. 25 And if this is something that's in the declaration 2707 1 and I signed it, yes, I said it. 2 Q. Okay. 3 A. Wow. 4 Q. So anything you have said in this 5 declaration, Exhibit-3, that you have attested to 6 is true; is that right? 7 A. That I haven't made corrections on, 8 yes. 9 Q. Thank you. 10 Did you tell things to Mr. Ingram 11 that were not true? 12 A. No. 13 Q. In preparing these declarations? 14 A. No. There are things that I had no 15 information about which Mr. Ingram later 16 investigated and sent individuals from the Church 17 of Scientology out to investigate and found to be 18 the case. There were things that I suspected 19 might be true but I wasn't sure. And he being the 20 private investigator for your law firm was the 21 person in charge of finding out whether they were 22 true or not. 23 Q. All right. Go to Page 224 of 24 Exhibit-3, please. 25 A. Okay. 2708 1 Q. I would like you to read from Line 24 2 of that page to Line 7 of the next page, 225. 3 A. Okay. 4 "Q. Did you tell the 5 things that are not true in this 6 declaration to Eugene Ingram? 7 "A. Yes, I did and I 8 told Eugene Ingram that even 9 during the time that I was doing 10 the deprogramming that Mary 11 Alice Chrnalogar was talking to 12 someone on the telephone 13 outside, on the outside, and 14 that I even made a phone call 15 to -- and again I don't remember 16 her name -- I called this person 17 at Unbound just to tell her what 18 was happening." 19 Q. Thank you. So which is it, 20 Mr. Scarff, did you tell him things that were 21 untrue or not? 22 A. I would like to see the correction 23 page to this, please. There is a correction 24 page. Let me see if I caught that. 25 Q. Page 224 to 225. Handing the witness 2709 1 the exhibit that has the corrections on it. I 2 think it's 191, although I may be misspeaking. 3 MR. CALHOUN: 195. 4 MR. BOWLES: 195, thank you, Counsel. 5 THE WITNESS: Well, I missed it evidently in 6 the corrections because that should say no, I did 7 not. 8 BY MR. BOWLES: 9 Q. That's what it should say? Is that 10 what you said to Mr. Leipold, "No, I did not"? 11 A. Well, looking at the paragraph, if 12 anyone was to read this paragraph, it doesn't make 13 sense that yes, I would tell him something then 14 tell him something that was not true about Mary 15 Alice Chrnalogar something that never even 16 happened. I don't recall. I don't recall. I 17 just -- 18 Q. What don't you recall? 19 A. I don't recall my specific 20 conversation with him. 21 Q. With who? 22 A. Eugene Ingram. 23 Q. But you did on September 11th, didn't 24 you? 25 A. Mr. Bowles, lower your voice here. I 2710 1 am not -- 2 Q. You testified on that day? 3 A. I am not your dog, Mr. Bowles. Lower 4 your voice and show some professional respect 5 here, please. 6 Q. Cross-examination, Mr. Scarff. 7 A. Cross-examination does not entitle 8 you to -- Rule 30(d) prohibits the cross-examining 9 attorney from harassing, intimidating and annoying 10 the witness which you have done so in great 11 detail. 12 Q. You can go get an order, Mr. Scarff? 13 A. Mr. Bowles, if I got an order, you 14 would suffer even more than you already have. So 15 why don't you behave and show some respect as an 16 adult. 17 Q. On September 11th, Mr. Scarff, you 18 did recall what you said to Mr. Ingram, didn't 19 you? 20 A. That's your characterization, sir. I 21 mean, I don't get paid to lie like Eugene Ingram 22 does. 23 Q. Strike as nonresponsive. 24 A. I don't get paid $700,000 a year to 25 lie for Bowles & Moxon. 2711 1 Q. Mr. Scarff, we have had enough of 2 your extraneous comments. 3 A. I don't have the history that Eugene 4 Ingram has for misrepresenting himself and lying. 5 I have certainly never shot myself on duty as a 6 police officer then told the world and filed a 7 complaint that someone had shot me. I mean, we 8 are dealing with someone here that has a full and 9 accurate record of misrepresentation and lies 10 during the time that not only he was a police 11 officer but during the time that he worked for 12 you. That's established well on record. And I 13 think by the time this lawsuit comes to course it 14 will be well known. 15 Q. Is that your answer? 16 A. And you are going to be looking for 17 another employee. 18 Q. Is that your answer? 19 A. Yes, that is my very accurate and 20 truthful answer, sir. 21 Q. Strike as nonresponsive. 22 A. Nonresponsive but very true. 23 Having fun here? 24 MR. LONG: Uh-huh. 25 THE WITNESS: Thought so. Even have more 2712 1 fun if you left Scientology. 2 MR. BOWLES: Strike as nonresponsive. 3 Mr. Scarff -- 4 THE WITNESS: I wasn't talking to you, 5 Mr. Bowles. I am talking to your paralegal. 6 Can't you mind your own business? 7 BY MR. BOWLES: 8 Q. Let's take a look at your testimony 9 at Page 315 of this deposition. 10 THE WITNESS: Mr. Calhoun, give that back. 11 BY MR. BOWLES: 12 Q. I would like you to read from Line 15 13 to Line 22. First I will withdraw that question. 14 Mr. Scarff, when did you find out 15 under penalty of perjury -- I'm sorry. When did 16 you find out that signing declarations, Exhibits-9 17 through 13, under penalty of perjury could be used 18 against you? 19 A. I didn't understand your question, 20 Mr. Bowles. Rephrase it, please. 21 Q. At some point after you signed 22 Exhibits-9 through 13, did you find out that 23 signing something under penalty of perjury could 24 be used against you? 25 A. Yes. I found it out after I left the 2713 1 Church of Scientology and spoke with a competent 2 attorney. 3 Q. Who did you speak with? 4 A. Douglas Green. My personal injury 5 attorney. 6 Q. When was that? 7 A. Approximately early September of 8 1992. And it was prior to my meeting with Dan 9 Leipold in which Dan Leipold said that he wanted 10 to get a declaration on me and I told him that it 11 wasn't worth his time to do so because he would 12 simply do something probably reflective of what 13 Eugene Ingram did. 14 And he said, "No, the difference this 15 time, Mr. Scarff, is that you're going to be sworn 16 in under oath, under penalty of perjury by a court 17 officer. And that's going to be the difference." 18 And it's something that Scientology under the 19 auspices of Bowles & Moxon does not do with any of 20 their witnesses. And that truly shows the 21 difference there. 22 And I took that up with my attorney, 23 Douglas Green. And he told me that Mr. Leipold 24 was very correct. You do not swear people in 25 before they give declarations for Scientology, Mr. 2714 1 Bowles. That is the difference. 2 Q. Strike as nonresponsive. 3 A. That's where you commit the crimes, 4 Mr. Bowles. 5 Q. Is that your answer, sir? 6 A. That's the very factual answer which 7 can be and will be substantiated in court in this 8 case, sir. 9 MR. BOWLES: Counsel, the page there. 10 THE WITNESS: If you are still an attorney 11 at that time. 12 BY MR. BOWLES: 13 Q. Strike as nonresponsive. 14 A. It's nonresponsive but true. 15 Q. How long were you on staff again at 16 the Church of Scientology Mission of Davis? 17 A. About a week and a half. 18 Q. So you weren't there for a month, 19 were you? 20 A. I am saying to the best of my 21 recollection right now it was a week and a half. 22 I mean, I was passing out stuff for Scientology 23 even after that. 24 Q. Well, how long were you on staff, a 25 week and a half or longer? 2715 1 A. Mr. Bowles, as I have said before, I 2 took courses for a week and a half. I got rid of 3 that and I continued to pass out literature even 4 after that, even more than a month after that. 5 Q. When did you blow your post? 6 A. I think you have to take that up with 7 the people in Scientology as to when I actually 8 blew my post, sir. 9 Q. What is your recollection as to when 10 you blew your post after you signed your staff 11 contract? 12 MR. CALHOUN: Objection; lacks foundation. 13 Calls for speculation. 14 THE WITNESS: I remember to the best of my 15 recollection, sir, that a week and a half after I 16 signed that contract I no longer went into the 17 church and answered telephones because I was 18 falling behind in my studies. But as a measure to 19 show some good faith there I continued to pass out 20 tickets to see L. Ron Hubbard movies and I passed 21 out literature inviting people to take a 22 personality test for weeks after that. Now, if 23 you want to call that part of my position on 24 staff, so be it. 25 BY MR. BOWLES: 2716 1 Q. No. I am asking you what you 2 understood. 3 A. I answered the question. You didn't 4 hear me, I'm sorry. She has got it on record. 5 We'll leave it on record. I said for about a week 6 and a half I stopped going into the church and 7 answering telephones because I was too involved in 8 my studies. 9 Q. Is that when you blew your post? 10 MR. CALHOUN: Objection; calls for 11 speculation. Lacks foundation. 12 THE WITNESS: Again, I don't know -- you are 13 the official in Scientology. You tell me what it 14 means to blow one's post, sir. 15 BY MR. BOWLES: 16 Q. You have testified that you blew your 17 post. What did you mean? 18 A. It is my understanding, Mr. Bowles, 19 irrespective and irregardless of how the Church of 20 Scientology defines it, that when I stopped 21 answering the telephones there that I blew a 22 post. That's my understanding. I could be 23 incorrect. I could be damn wrong about it. But 24 that was my understanding. 25 Q. All right. 2717 1 A. And that's what I have attested to. 2 Q. Very well. So that was after about a 3 week and a half; is that right? 4 A. That's a week and a half. But part 5 of my responsibilities that I was told at that 6 time too was to pass out literature for 7 Scientology, which I did well after a week and a 8 half. Is that part of my job? I don't know. 9 That's what I was told part of my job was. 10 Certainly no one came down on me the fact that I 11 blew my post when I told them that I was more 12 involved in my full time studies at that time. 13 Q. Okay. Did you attempt suicide in 14 early 1986? 15 A. That's personal. That's none of your 16 business. I'm sorry, that's personal 17 information. I don't think that's any of your 18 concern or any of your business. 19 Q. Even if you have testified earlier 20 that you did, it's personal and you won't answer 21 questions? 22 A. Mr. Bowles, since this deposition has 23 started, I have had the wonderful counsel of 24 attorney which is attorney-client privilege as you 25 are well aware who have advised me that anything 2718 1 of a personal nature to that effect particularly 2 with respect to the fact that earlier events in my 3 life were the subject of confidential 4 conversations with ministers of the Church of 5 Scientology that I was told would never by 6 revealed in any circumstance, that those are 7 privileges that I have. 8 And the fact that you have chosen to 9 reveal that information or even question me about 10 it breaches that confidentiality. And so insofar 11 as my personal information is concerned, that's 12 none of your business. I doubt that you would 13 give it if you were asked. So -- 14 Q. The answer is no? 15 A. The answer is absolutely no. 16 Q. Okay. I want you to read from the 17 transcript Pages 1186, Line 10 -- 1176, I'm sorry, 18 I misspoke, up through 1178, Line 5. 19 MR. CALHOUN: Thank you. 20 MR. BOWLES: Thank you. 21 THE WITNESS: "Q. I see. And 22 when did you make contact with 23 Gwen Mayfield? 24 "A. As I have said 25 before, it was February of '86. 2719 1 "Q. And what 2 happened? 3 "A. I told her that I 4 was no longer in the Mormon 5 Church. That I had broken up 6 with Jeri Ellingson, who was my 7 girlfriend at the time. That I 8 had disagreements with the 9 Mormon Church on some other 10 doctrines, and how they required 11 individuals to tithe because in 12 the Mormon Church it's not a 13 voluntary thing. It's a 14 required element of the faith. 15 "And the fact that I was 16 disturbed by some of the things 17 that I had experienced inside 18 the Mormon Temple. And the fact 19 that I had advised my bishop 20 that being so upset with what I 21 experienced in the temple that I 22 had told my mother about some of 23 those things. 24 "And I was declared an 25 apostolate by the Mormon Church 2720 1 because in their faith anything 2 that is seen or heard within the 3 walls of the Mormon Temple are 4 extremely sacred. And they 5 believe that anyone that reveals 6 those things that occur within 7 the temple even though things 8 have already been published by 9 dissident members of the faith, 10 they consider that 11 sacrilegious. 12 "And they said they were 13 going to bring me before a 14 church court to determine 15 whether I should be disciplined 16 for talking to my family about 17 what had happened in the 18 temple. And I refused to go 19 before a church court. I didn't 20 think it was necessary. Because 21 I saw no reason why I could not 22 share my feelings with members 23 of my own family. Particularly 24 my mother. 25 "And I shared all this 2721 1 stuff with Gwen Mayfield. And I 2 was told that given my past 3 associations with the church and 4 individuals in the church that I 5 was never committed to taking 6 courses, that I was 7 wishy-washy. That those are 8 elements that I needed to be 9 concerned with. 10 "And suggestion of RPF 11 came up. And when the 12 discussions of RPF were thrown 13 about by Gwen Mayfield, I became 14 disturbed and I took a razor 15 blade and I sliced my left wrist 16 with the intent to kill 17 myself." 18 Q. Is that a correct transcription of 19 your testimony, sir? 20 A. Yes, it is. 21 Q. Are you still refusing to answer 22 questions with regard to that incident? 23 A. Mr. Bowles, since I have spoken on 24 the record about my suicides, I have spoken with 25 counsel who told me that I don't have to talk 2722 1 about it. As you are fully aware, I do not have a 2 lawyer sitting next to me representing me in these 3 proceedings. If I did you wouldn't have gotten as 4 far as you have gotten already, sir, and you know 5 that. But I have been advised by counsel that 6 that's personal and I never should have talked 7 about it, and I certainly don't have to talk about 8 it. And if you want to go to court and get a 9 judge to rule on that, feel free. 10 Q. Did Mr. Carmichael visit you in the 11 hospital after this incident took place? 12 A. I don't recall. 13 Q. You don't recall. 14 A. That's my answer. 15 I would like to take a break. It's 16 been over 45 minutes. 17 MR. BOWLES: You want to show us your wrist 18 before you leave to prove you slashed it? 19 THE WITNESS: Sure. Mr. Calhoun. If you 20 would like to -- if you notice the lines on my 21 right hand there. If you will notice there is a 22 cut right there and also a cut that goes sideways 23 there. Right there. 24 MR. CALHOUN: There's indentations on your 25 skin. 2723 1 THE WITNESS: Sir, would you like to look. 2 See the indentation right there, the white line is 3 the wrist. 4 BY MR. BOWLES: 5 Q. Why don't you show that to the 6 camera. 7 A. How do I show this to the camera. 8 Q. The cameraman will -- 9 A. Can you see this? I don't know if 10 you are going to be able to see it on camera. You 11 can see the natural lines of the right hand. If 12 you look on the left hand here, you see the 13 indentation right there. I don't know if you can 14 see that or not. It's white. It sticks out. 15 Q. I missed the other. 16 A. I'm sorry. I will put them down like 17 this. You can notice a difference. There is an 18 indentation here where there is not one on my 19 right hand. 20 Q. Did you get this here? 21 A. That's from my watchband, sir. 22 Q. Oh, I see. 23 A. That's from the watchband. I don't 24 know how you can make that many cuts into the 25 arm. Geez. 2724 1 Q. So you did that to yourself on your 2 left hand in February of '86; is that right? 3 A. Yes. That is correct. 4 And I am going on a break. I was off 5 this thing too. 6 MR. BOWLES: Thank you. 7 VIDEO OPERATOR: We will go off the record. 8 Today is August 16th, 1993. The time is 9 3:46 P.M. End of Tape 2, Volume XIV, continuing 10 deposition of Mr. Scarff. 11 (Recess taken.) 12 VIDEO OPERATOR: We are back on the record. 13 Today is August 16th, 1993. The time is 14 4:16 P.M. Beginning of Tape 3, Volume XIV, 15 continuing deposition of Mr. Scarff. 16 BY MR. BOWLES: 17 Q. Mr. Scarff, will you waive your 18 doctor-patient privilege to reveal the files on 19 your claimed suicide or attempted suicide in early 20 1986? 21 A. To you, absolutely not. 22 Also, before you start questioning, 23 Mr. Bowles, I would like to meet and confer. 24 Since I am here representing myself, I have the 25 right to call for a meet and confer. I am going 2725 1 to do that. Mr. Berry interviewed me for six and 2 a half days and according to Judge Tassopoulos, it 3 was my understanding that you would have just as 4 much time to do so. Today is the fourth and a 5 half day you have done so. And I am going to ask 6 that you close out your deposition, your 7 cross-examination by five o'clock Friday and that 8 I plan to submit a request to Judge Tassopoulos 9 tomorrow morning asking her that she re-enforce 10 that request. 11 Q. So if our cross-examination is not 12 done by five o'clock Friday, you refuse to go 13 further with the deposition? 14 A. No, sir, I am simply asking that you 15 conclude it by then because the court has ruled 16 that you should have ample time for 17 cross-examination. The fact that Mr. Berry has 18 done so with me in six and a half days, you are in 19 your fourth and a half, I think you have been 20 given quite a bit if not more than enough ample 21 time to do a cross-examination. And so I am going 22 to ask that you conclude it by five o'clock 23 Friday. And I will submit a request to the court 24 tomorrow asking that the court back that up. 25 Q. Do you have a scheduling problem 2726 1 beyond next Friday? 2 A. Yes. I would like to get on with my 3 life, sir. I have been in Los Angeles, Friday 4 will be my fourth week here in L.A. I thought 5 this process was going to take no more than a week 6 and a half. I have a life to get back to and I 7 would like to get back to that life. I need to 8 find a job. I would like to get back on with my 9 life. I don't have time sitting here in L.A. 10 submitting to this constantly. I have had to put 11 everything on hold here to complete this 12 deposition. 13 Q. If we are not done by the end of 14 Friday, will you agree to come back at a later 15 time to complete your cross-examination? 16 A. I am going to ask, Mr. Bowles, that 17 Judge Tassopoulos rule on that. I am going to ask 18 that she rule that your cross-examination ends 19 Friday at five o'clock. And that be the end of 20 your cross-examination. If she rules against that 21 and says the cross-examination can continue at a 22 later date, well, certainly I will respect and 23 will abide by a judge's ruling in this matter. 24 Q. If a judge orders you to return to 25 Oregon, I'm sorry, to return to California to 2727 1 answer questions which you have refused to answer 2 to date or up through the end of the 3 cross-examination, will you return to California 4 to do so? 5 A. If the judge rules in this matter, if 6 a party, whatever party that may be, whether that 7 be the court or yourself, pays for my expenses in 8 doing so and flying out here, most definitely. 9 But if it's simple case of coming back to 10 California, answering questions and my expenses 11 aren't met, absolutely not. I don't have the 12 finances to fly around the country at will to do 13 things like that. 14 Q. That's your full answer? 15 A. That's my answer, sir. And I just 16 went on record that I have had a meet and confer 17 with Mr. Bowles and that I am going to be taking 18 action by filing a request with Judge Tassopoulos 19 tomorrow. 20 Q. To make the record clear, I am not 21 certain that we can represent that your 22 cross-examination will be ended by that time. I 23 certainly will undertake to finish it before that 24 time but I cannot be limited by arbitrary time 25 limits when the record is so full of 2728 1 misrepresentations, generalities and other 2 failures to be consistent with your testimony. We 3 are entitled to explore those fully as Magistrate 4 Judge Tassopoulos has already ruled. 5 A. Okay. Well, you know, Judge 6 Tassopoulos in the spirit of her ruling has 7 already said give Mr. Bowles ample time to deal 8 with this issue. I think you have had ample 9 time. You have, at least I believe it was 10 Mr. Wiener that has said that he expects to have 11 just as much time in cross-exam as Mr. Berry has 12 had. Mr. Berry had six and a half days, sir. 13 This is your fourth and a half day. So if you 14 just want just as much time as Mr. Berry, 15 practically this cross-examination should end on 16 Wednesday afternoon at 5:00. And I am saying 17 please have it done by Friday afternoon at 5:00 18 which gives you two full days of extra time that 19 Mr. Wiener had initially requested. So I think 20 that is ample time for you to complete a 21 cross-exam. And that's all I am going to say. 22 MR. BOWLES: Mr. Calhoun -- thank you, 23 Mr. Scarff. 24 Mr. Calhoun, in the spirit of a meet 25 and confer, do you intend after cross-examination 2729 1 is over to conduct a redirect examination of this 2 witness? And if so, for how long a time? 3 MR. CALHOUN: I have got no idea. Based on 4 what I have heard so far, I don't intend to do any 5 redirect. 6 MR. BOWLES: All right. 7 Q. And, Mr. Scarff, do you intend to 8 approach Mr. Berry or Mr. Calhoun with your list 9 of categories of redirect testimony to implore 10 them or to urge them to conduct a redirect 11 examination? 12 A. I have already advised Mr. Berry that 13 there are issues which I want to address on 14 redirect. Mr. Berry has advised me that I have no 15 right with which to do that because I am simply a 16 witness and that he does not represent me. I have 17 been advised of that. So, no, sir, I do not. 18 Q. But you have requested that certain 19 areas become the subject of redirect examination; 20 haven't you? 21 A. There have -- yes, there are areas 22 which you have wholly and purely misrepresented 23 yourself during this deposition which I felt that 24 he needed to address. And he has advised me that 25 being that I am not represented by him, that I am 2730 1 simply a witness, that I have no rights with which 2 to request that of him. Certainly I have no 3 rights to demand it of him. And he is the lawyer, 4 I am not. So I guess he knows what he is talking 5 about. 6 Q. Okay. So all I can tell you is make 7 your motion. 8 A. I am going to, sir. 9 Q. Do you intend to make that under the 10 joint statement rules that the judge has already 11 set out? 12 A. I haven't decided yet. 13 Q. When are you going to decide? 14 A. After this deposition today. 15 Q. And you will let us know whether you 16 are going to follow the court's order or not? 17 MR. CALHOUN: Objection; mischaracterizes 18 the statement. 19 THE WITNESS: I don't understand what you 20 are saying. I have never said that I wasn't going 21 to follow the court's order. 22 BY MR. BOWLES: 23 Q. You do understand what the court's 24 order was, don't you? 25 A. I have read Judge Tassopoulos' 2731 1 ruling, yes. 2 Q. Do you understand there is an 3 expedited procedure in which a meet and confer 4 takes place, a joint statement is prepared and 5 then filed? 6 A. I only know what I have discussed 7 with my counsel, Mr. Bowles, and what I have been 8 told my rights are in this matter, which is why we 9 had this meet and confer. So if there is any type 10 of terminology I need to be aware of or anything 11 that I need to specifically do, I am sure I will 12 be advised of such. 13 Q. Why don't you go over the magistrate 14 judge's order with your counsel and let me know by 15 tomorrow morning at 10:30 whether you are going to 16 comply with her directions on the expedited 17 procedures. 18 A. Mr. Bowles, I will discuss it with 19 counsel. If my counsel wants to deal with it by 20 10:30 in the morning, then he can do so. But I am 21 not -- 22 Q. Why don't you have your counsel call 23 me then and tell me whether or not you are going 24 to follow the order? 25 A. I will leave that up to counsel to 2732 1 decide whether he wishes to even speak with you. 2 Q. I am available tomorrow morning to 3 speak with counsel from my office from nine 4 o'clock -- 5 A. What time? 6 Q. From nine o'clock until 9:30 at which 7 time I will be coming over to the deposition to 8 continue it? 9 A. Okay. 10 Q. So your counsel can call me at that 11 time or you personally can tell me whether you are 12 going to comply with the court's order on 13 expedited procedures when we start the deposition 14 later in the morning. How does that sound? 15 A. That's fine. Again, I don't 16 understand what you mean by complying, but I am 17 sure he can explain it to me. We will leave it at 18 that. 19 Q. I am going to show you now -- 20 A. What's your phone number at Bowles & 21 Moxon now? I know you change your phone numbers. 22 Q. The number you can use is 661-4030. 23 I think you tried that earlier in the deposition 24 to try and establish it was not an operating 25 number. It is. You can call it and it will be 2733 1 answered. 2 If you could hand the Page 1140 -- 3 are we done now? 4 A. Yes. I am happy. 5 MR. BOWLES: If you could pass 1148, 6 Counsel, to Mr. Scarff. 7 Q. And Mr. Scarff, if I may just look 8 over that. 9 A. Sure. 10 Q. If you could read Lines 15 through 11 18, sir. 12 A. "Q. What years did that 13 second involvement with 14 Scientology cover? 15 "A. Spring of 1982 to 16 August of '84, at which time I 17 went into the Mormon Church." 18 Q. Is that an accurate transcription of 19 your testimony on direct examination in this 20 deposition? 21 A. That's what I recall, yes. 22 Q. Thank you. 23 Let me have you read another short 24 section from earlier in the deposition. 25 A. Mr. Calhoun. 2734 1 Q. And this goes from Page 1840, Line 14 2 to Page 1842, Line 4. Mr. Calhoun. 3 MR. CALHOUN: Thank you. 4 THE WITNESS: "Q. Now, what did 5 you do after you received this 6 communications book? Did you 7 stay there and read the book or 8 did you go home or what? 9 "A. I spent some time 10 there in the reading room. I 11 also took it home with me. 12 "Q. Now, during the time 13 that you were taking this 14 communications course, did you 15 have any discussions with 16 anybody regarding going on 17 staff? 18 "A. Not at this time, 19 no. 20 "Q. When did you have 21 these discussions regarding the 22 going on staff? 23 "A. February of 1984. 24 "Q. So you had completed 25 the communications course by 2735 1 that time? 2 "A. Yes. 3 "Q. And between the time 4 that you took the communications 5 course and the time that you 6 started discussing going on 7 staff, had you taken any other 8 Scientology courses? 9 "A. There was a course 10 called philosophy, something to 11 do with philosophy. Something 12 to do with ethics. Problems of 13 work. 14 "Q. Now, was this one 15 course that you were describing 16 or -- 17 "A. No, these are three 18 separate courses. 19 "Q. So the first course 20 was something about philosophy? 21 "A. Something about 22 philosophy. 23 "Q. Do you remember the 24 name of the course? 25 "A. No, sir, I don't. 2736 1 "Q. And then the second 2 course you said was something to 3 do with -- 4 "A. Scientology ethics, 5 something to do with Scientology 6 ethics. And then the other was 7 problems of work. And then 8 there was one course that dealt 9 with, and I forgot the name of 10 it, but it dealt with family 11 relationships, because I recall 12 talking to my mother about it. 13 "Q. Now, the order that 14 you described those, is that the 15 order that you took these 16 courses? 17 "A. I believe it was 18 communications, then philosophy, 19 then I think it was the family 20 relationships, then ethics, then 21 problems at work. I am only 22 thinking here -- I believe 23 that's the order I took them in 24 but I am not positive. 25 "Q. When did you take 2737 1 the philosophy course? 2 "A. Again, like I said, 3 I don't remember these dates, 4 Mr. Wiener. We are talking 5 about 11 years ago. A lot has 6 happened since then. 7 "Q. Do you recall how 8 long after your communications 9 course you took the philosophy 10 course? 11 "A. It was almost 12 immediately afterwards." 13 You want to read these over before I 14 send them over, Mr. Calhoun? They are not in 15 order. 16 MR. BOWLES: Thanks a lot. 17 Q. Did you pay for those courses? 18 A. Yes, I did. 19 Q. Did you pay for them in advance? 20 A. I did with the communications course 21 back in 1976, but I didn't complete it. And they 22 told me that I would not have to pay for it to 23 make it up the second time. 24 Q. How about the other three courses? 25 Did you pay for those in advance? 2738 1 A. I recall that I paid something, yes. 2 Q. Did you pay for those courses in 3 advance? 4 A. I just answered your question, sir. 5 I said I believe so. 6 Q. Okay. How much did you pay for the 7 philosophy course? 8 A. Oh, boy. I don't recall. I want to 9 say $25, but I am not sure. 10 Q. How much did you pay for the family 11 relations course? 12 A. I don't remember. It's been a long 13 time ago. 14 Q. All right. How much did you pay for 15 the ethics course? 16 A. I don't remember. 17 Q. Were either of those courses more 18 than $100? 19 A. I don't remember. I am only guessing 20 here. 21 Q. Do you recall how much you paid for 22 the problems in work course? 23 A. I don't remember what it was. I know 24 it was discounted. I was given a discount, but I 25 don't remember. It's been a long time ago. 2739 1 Q. Okay. 2 A. I don't even know how much they are 3 now. 4 Q. Well, the two excerpts we have read 5 here from 1148 and from 1840 and the surrounding 6 pages, are these accurate transcriptions of your 7 testimony? 8 A. I believe they are. If you would 9 like, I can go to the library and find out how 10 much things were back in 1982 to '84. I don't 11 recall. 12 Q. So you were in Scientology courses 13 from spring of '82 to the time you signed your 14 staff contract; is that correct? 15 A. I took a communications course before 16 I signed the contract, but afterwards I took 17 courses, yes. 18 Q. So from the spring of '82 until March 19 of '84 you took courses; is that right? 20 A. August of '84. August of '84 is when 21 I left to go to the Mormon Church. 22 Q. I think your testimony was you took 23 all of these courses prior to the time you signed 24 the staff contract. Is that right? 25 A. That could be. Like I said, I don't 2740 1 remember. You are asking me to pick out a memory 2 that I don't have anymore. It happened a long time 3 ago. Frankly, I don't care what happened back in 4 the Church of Scientology in 1982 to '84. That's 5 past history. 6 Q. Well, your testimony on 1841 says, 7 the question is: 8 "Between the time you 9 took the communications course 10 and the time that you started 11 discussing going on staff, had 12 you taken any other Scientology 13 courses?" 14 And it's at that point you make the 15 testimony that you have just now read again 16 regarding the philosophy course, the family 17 relationships course, the ethics course and the 18 problems of work course. 19 Is that still your testimony that you 20 took these four courses at that time? 21 A. My testimony has been and it has 22 always been that I believe it to be so. I don't 23 recall. I don't remember specific dates. I am 24 doing the best I can. So, please, stop picking at 25 me, because I don't remember specific dates when 2741 1 things occurred. I am giving testimony based upon 2 the best of my recollection. That doesn't make it 3 true and it certainly doesn't make it false. It's 4 based upon my memory at the time. And frankly, 5 it's not a very good memory. And I am sure you 6 don't remember what happened 11 years ago. But 7 you are right, I am the one answering questions, 8 you are not. It doesn't remove the fact that you 9 may not remember things that happened 11 years 10 ago. 11 And so I am simply telling you, sir, 12 that is my recollection. I could be wrong. You 13 could go right into the records of Scientology and 14 prove that I took the courses way before I signed 15 the contract. I don't know. I just don't 16 remember. I think you are harassing me here. 17 Q. That goes for all your testimony; 18 isn't that right? 19 A. Mr. Bowles, I am going to have to 20 call another meet and confer with you, sir. I 21 think that your behavior, your conduct, the way 22 you have presented this deposition has been wholly 23 abusive. It is harassing. The only point has 24 been to intimidate and to play games. I am going 25 to ask that you stop and move on. These are 2742 1 questions you have already answered, asked. These 2 are answers that I have given. And you have 3 simply chosen to pick away and to intimidate and 4 harass. And I am going to ask you to stop. And 5 if you don't, I will just simply file another 6 motion with the judge asking her to intercede. 7 (At this point GRAHAM BERRY, ESQ. 8 entered the deposition proceedings.) 9 BY MR. BOWLES: 10 Q. Are you terminating the deposition at 11 this point, Mr. Scarff? 12 A. Absolutely not. I am asking you to 13 show some professional integrity here which you 14 have not shown much of since you have been in this 15 deposition. And that you treat witnesses with the 16 respect that you are supposed to be treating them 17 and not use this as a showcase to humiliate, annoy 18 and harass witnesses which you have done so in 19 great detail since you have been here, 20 Mr. Bowles. 21 Mr. Wiener, has been polite and 22 respectful, although it is well known that we 23 don't like each other. But your behavior has been 24 absolutely atrocious if not totally out of 25 proportion to what you are supposed to be doing 2743 1 here. 2 Q. My question to you, sir -- 3 A. And I just -- 4 Q. Is that the end of your meet and 5 confer because I am going to keep asking you 6 questions now? 7 A. And I am telling you, sir, if it has 8 nothing to do with stuff that's already been on 9 record, things that I have already discussed, I am 10 going to refuse at this point from even discussing 11 them further. If it has to be asked and answered 12 a hundred times, so be it. But anything that I 13 have already discussed, anything that's already on 14 record, you have no right, sir, to intimidate 15 witnesses, constantly pick at them for answers 16 they have already given. I have already given 17 that information based on my memory, based on my 18 recollection. And that's the best I can do. 19 If you are simply going to push over, 20 and push over the line and move over the line to 21 try to use it to try to harass, you can do it all 22 you want. I am not going to listen to it and I am 23 certainly not going to stand here and abide by it 24 or sit here and abide by it. 25 I am asking you to move on and get on 2744 1 to new material. Stop with the bullshit. Stop 2 with the abuse. Stop with the harassment because 3 I am not going to take it anymore. I am not going 4 to put up with it anymore. If I have to sit here 5 and quote asked and answered a million times, I am 6 going to do it. That is my meet and confer, sir. 7 Q. Are you done? 8 A. I would like a response from you. 9 Q. My response I just gave you. I am 10 going to continue to ask questions and 11 cross-examination within the scope of direct. 12 A. So are you saying that in a 13 cross-examination you are entitled to harass, 14 annoy and intimidate witnesses? Is that what you 15 are saying? 16 Q. I am entitled to the truth so just 17 answer my questions. 18 A. We are not done with this meet and 19 confer, sir. We are not done here. You haven't 20 answered my question. Are you saying that you are 21 going to continue on your path of harassing, 22 intimidating? 23 Q. No. I am going to continue on my 24 path to show you contradictory testimony. I am 25 going to ask you whether or not one is true or the 2745 1 other is true. That's all we have been doing 2 today. And I am entitled to your correct answer. 3 A. Yes, you are, Mr. Bowles, but one 4 thing you are not entitled to is constantly 5 drilling a witness on things that he has already 6 answered to with the best that he could do and 7 recollection. And you constantly drilling the 8 point over and over and over again. And I can sit 9 here and say "asked and answered" and you continue 10 to drill a point. That, sir, is harassment. You 11 have stepped over the line. You know you have 12 stepped over the line. 13 So I am telling you from now on, if 14 there is a question that has already been asked 15 and I have given testimony to that question 16 whether it be once, twice or in some cases at 17 least four times and you continue to press me with 18 that, you are not going to get a response, sir. I 19 will refuse to give you that response. Because 20 it's on the record. The record will stand for 21 itself. That's all I have to say, sir. 22 Q. Okay. Thank you. 23 Would you draw me a floor plan of 24 the -- 25 A. I will not draw you a floor plan of 2746 1 anything, sir. I have also been told by counsel 2 that you are here to question here and to elicit 3 answers from me, but I am not here on display. I 4 am not here to provide you any type of 5 demonstrations. I am certainly not here or 6 required to do any type of exhibits or exhibitions 7 for you, sir. If you get your jollies, maybe you 8 should take Mr. Long outside and do it with him. 9 Maybe he can draw for you. 10 Q. Strike as nonresponsive. 11 A. It's non -- 12 Q. You are refusing to draw me a floor 13 plan of the Mission of Davis in 1982? 14 A. I have been advised by counsel that I 15 am not required to. 16 Q. Which counsel advised you of that? 17 A. As I have already said before, I am 18 not going to give you that information because you 19 have waged an unlawful campaign of Fair Game on 20 this individual as well as other individuals. And 21 you can sit there and smirk with a big smile on 22 your face, it's being caught on film now, but I am 23 not going to give it to you, Mr. Bowles. 24 Q. You are refusing to give that to me; 25 is that right? 2747 1 A. Asked and answered, Counselor. 2 Q. Where was the center in which you 3 took these four courses? 4 A. Mission of Davis. Seventh and Salmon 5 Street. 6 Q. At that time in the spring of '82 7 through August of '84 was there any other 8 Scientology facility in the City of Portland? 9 A. Yes, there was. 10 Q. Where was that? 11 A. Around that time there was a small 12 area on Park Avenue where they were having Sunday 13 services. And I believe they were also taking 14 some courses there. And there was also a walk-in 15 facility across the street at a location, which is 16 now the Heathman Hotel at the corner of Broadway 17 and Salmon. And this is where a lot of the 18 individuals were brought in to take the 19 personality test. 20 (At this point GRAHAM BERRY, ESQ. 21 left the deposition proceedings.) 22 BY MR. BOWLES: 23 Q. This Park Avenue facility, what was 24 the cross street? 25 A. It was between -- I am trying to 2748 1 remember the cross street. I want to say between 2 Alder and Morrison Street on Park. 3 Q. What was the nearest numbered cross 4 street? 5 A. That's the best answer I can give 6 you. I don't recall. That's the best answer I 7 can give you. It was on Park Avenue between Alder 8 Street and Morrison Street. And it's in an area 9 which is now a health food store, I believe. And 10 it is right next to what today remains to be a 11 paper and gift shop. 12 Q. Did that particular center have a 13 name? 14 A. I don't recall. It certainly didn't 15 have a sign in the front. 16 Q. Did you make any applications for 17 staff prior to March of 1984? 18 A. No. 19 Q. Did you make any applications for 20 staff at any other center of Scientology besides 21 the Mission of Davis at any time? 22 A. I want to say no. I could be wrong. 23 It's been a long time. But my answer would be no, 24 not that I can recollect. 25 Q. Between -- 2749 1 A. You are talking about since 1976? 2 Q. From 1982 -- let's just limit it to 3 1982 to 1984. Did you make any staff applications 4 to any other center other than the Mission of 5 Davis? 6 A. Not that I can recollect. 7 Q. Were you in good standing with all 8 churches of Scientology during that period of 9 time, spring of '82 to August of '84? 10 MR. CALHOUN: Objection; calls for 11 speculation and lacks foundation. 12 THE WITNESS: I would be speculating so I 13 can't give you an answer because I don't know. 14 BY MR. BOWLES: 15 Q. Were you a member of PAC at the 16 time? 17 A. Was I a member of PAC? I was 18 receiving the newsletter. 19 Q. Were you actively participating in 20 PAC activities at this period of time, spring of 21 '82 to August of '84? 22 A. I was attending the Positive Action 23 Center. And I was meeting with Anne Greek as a 24 counselor. And, yes, I volunteered to help her 25 out at meetings. But I was not speaking out. I 2750 1 was not traveling around the country as the Greeks 2 usually did at that time giving presentations or 3 stuff like that. 4 As I have said before in testimony, 5 at that time I saw Anne Greek as a counselor, as a 6 mother-type. That's where my affinity for Anne 7 Greek came from was the fact that I saw her as a 8 second mother, so to speak. And so when she asked 9 me to help her out, I helped her out. Simply 10 because I was present at a meeting didn't mean 11 that I endorsed what was happening in the 12 meeting. Certainly I wasn't a spy for the 13 Positive Action Center. I was simply there to 14 help out someone that I thought of as a friend. 15 Q. Did you disclose to the Church of 16 Scientology during the period of spring '82 to 17 August '84 that you were visiting the Positive 18 Action Center and participating in its 19 activities? 20 A. No. Because they already knew. They 21 already knew that I had associations with the 22 Positive Action Center. 23 Q. So it's your testimony they knew and 24 yet they allowed you to continue on courses at the 25 Scientology center? 2751 1 A. Yes. Because they knew exactly why. 2 I made it very clear to them at the time that I 3 saw Anne Greek as a mother figure. I told her, 4 told them I was having problems with my own 5 parents. That I was estranged from my mother. 6 And that's why I gravitated toward Anne Greek. 7 And they told me it would be best that I not get 8 involved with any type of their stuff including 9 running out to schools and churches and promoting 10 ex-cultism. And I don't recall if I ever did 11 that. 12 It has also been my testimony, 13 Mr. Bowles, several times that at that period that 14 I was of the mind-set to get attention wherever it 15 was available. And so when love and affection was 16 shown to me by Anne Greek, I went to it like a 17 magnet. When it was shown to me in the Church of 18 Scientology, I went to them like a magnet. And I 19 was a Ping-Pong ball. I went back and forth. 20 Q. You are flip flopping. Is that 21 right? 22 A. Well, yeah. In fact I have already 23 said on record because John Carmichael said I was 24 wishy-washy and they made the suggestion that I go 25 to RPF and that's why I slit my wrists. Yeah, 2752 1 definitely I was emotionally wishy-washy during 2 that time. I have no problem with that. I admit 3 to that. And if it was such a crime that I was 4 wishy-washy and I had no credibility, strikes me 5 as strange that Eugene Ingram would come knocking 6 on my door and pay me to work with the Church of 7 Scientology. 8 Q. Strike as nonresponsive that last 9 part. 10 A. It's recorded in the evidence, 11 Mr. Bowles. You can't strike something that's 12 been in the evidence. It's documented fact. I 13 don't see how that can be nonresponsive, sir. 14 Q. So, who was your supervisor during 15 these courses you took at the Mission of Davis 16 from the spring of '82 to the time you signed the 17 staff contract? 18 A. The only person that I spoke with 19 during that time was John Carmichael. 20 Q. Was he your supervisor? 21 A. And there was a woman, Alana Arnold, 22 I think her last name was Arnold, it was Alana. I 23 met her at Portland State University. And I 24 wanted to say a gentleman by the last name of 25 Murray, but I am not positive. 2753 1 Q. Were you on a regular schedule when 2 you took these courses? 3 A. I'm sorry? 4 Q. Were you on a regular schedule at the 5 Mission of Davis when you took these courses? 6 A. They tried to put me on a regular 7 schedule of coming in at a specific time every 8 day, I believe it was like four o'clock in the 9 afternoon, but I could not, because I had courses 10 and I was constantly trying to keep up my courses 11 at Portland State University. And sometimes I 12 came in late. But I recall usually my classes 13 ended at 3:00 in the afternoon, and I went down 14 there at four o'clock. And I spent maybe till six 15 or seven o'clock at the Mission of Davis. 16 Q. So, during this period of time, 17 although you were associated with the Positive 18 Action Center, you certainly did nothing hostile 19 to the Church of Scientology; is that right? 20 A. I don't think -- no, I don't think I 21 did hostile -- not that I can recall. 22 Q. You don't recall any complaints to 23 any state or federal authorities against the 24 Church of Scientology during that time? 25 A. Between '82, you are talking about 2754 1 Fred King which happened in '79. 2 Q. No. I am just talking about anything 3 between the spring of '82 and August of '84 now. 4 A. Not to federal and state officials. 5 I recall going to Anne Greek and telling her that 6 I had problems with people and things were being 7 said, but I would not tell her the scope of that. 8 And I also told people in Scientology about what 9 was happening in the Positive Action Center. 10 The one thing that I found out very 11 keen about the Church of Scientology is no one 12 told me to stop but they were very interested in 13 what was being said and what was being seen at the 14 Positive Action Center. And so it was very 15 interesting that I became one's chosen little spy 16 in the Positive Action Center to give them what 17 was happening and what the conversations were. 18 But even then, I didn't recall, I didn't even 19 realize the extent of why they were asking me to 20 do that. 21 Q. So you were doing hostile acts 22 against the Positive Action Center at this time; 23 is that correct? 24 A. Mr. Bowles, hostile acts is a term 25 that you use in the Church of Scientology to 2755 1 attack your critics. I have never used that word, 2 sir. 3 Q. So you were spying on the Positive 4 Action Center at that time; is that right? 5 A. Sir, spying is a word that you use to 6 attack your enemies. I am not a Scientologist 7 anymore so please use layman words, please. 8 Q. I think you just used that word, 9 didn't you? 10 A. Spying on the Positive Action 11 Center? I didn't say I was spying. 12 Q. Oh, maybe I misheard you but I guess 13 it's on the record. 14 A. You did. I used to use the word 15 "spying" when I was in Scientology, but I am not 16 a member anymore so please refrain from it. I am 17 not a spy. 18 Q. Were you taking information from the 19 Positive Action Center and without the Positive 20 Action Center's knowledge passing it back to the 21 Church of Scientology during this period? 22 A. Mr. Bowles, you make it sound like a 23 cloak and dagger operation. Only you coming from 24 the OSA would compare it to some intelligence spy 25 operation. This was not an intelligence spy 2756 1 operation. I was asked to keep them informed 2 about what was going on in the Positive Action 3 Center at that time. Someone may look at that and 4 say that was spying. But to me that was simply 5 telling them what's going on. It's information, 6 sir. It's called information. And certainly they 7 were not doing anything that the public was not 8 involved in. There was no secret spy stuff that 9 goes on like what occurs in your church on a daily 10 basis. 11 Q. Did the Greeks know you were passing 12 this information to the Church of Scientology? 13 A. No. No, they didn't. And the reason 14 is if they knew I was attached with Scientology, 15 they would flip out and probably disown me. 16 Q. But the Church of Scientology didn't 17 flip out when they knew that you were associated 18 with the PAC; is that right? 19 A. No. And even today they wouldn't, 20 because that's why they get off on spying and 21 doing intelligence operations on people. They get 22 off on the information that they can secure 23 unethically and unlawfully, you know. It's too 24 bad too, because the Greeks had a lot of 25 integrity. Which is something you certainly 2757 1 cannot talk about, sir. 2 Q. Strike as nonresponsive. 3 A. Nonresponsive but very factual, sir. 4 As you well know. 5 I want to take a short bathroom 6 break. Be right back. 7 Q. Mr. Scarff, it's now ten minutes to 8 5:00. So I would appreciate this break to be 9 short since we are going to finish up right around 10 five o'clock. 11 THE WITNESS: Thank you, Timmy. I will be 12 right back. 13 VIDEO OPERATOR: We will go off the record. 14 The time is 4:50 P.M. 15 (Recess taken.) 16 VIDEO OPERATOR: We are back on the record. 17 The time is 4:52 P.M. 18 BY MR. BOWLES: 19 Q. Mr. Scarff, who were you passing this 20 information to at the Church of Scientology? 21 A. John Carmichael. 22 Q. Anybody else? 23 A. There were some people I was told to 24 give it to if John wasn't there, but, again, I 25 don't recall their names. I have all that stuff 2758 1 at home. And if I am called to trial and I 2 testify at trial, I will certainly be able to 3 bring all those names up because I have all that 4 stuff substantiated at home. 5 Q. In what form? 6 A. I have all the names and I have 7 some -- even the addresses of people that were 8 involved. 9 Q. In what form? Is this 10 correspondence, your own internal notes or what? 11 A. Not only internal notes but notes 12 that I have gotten from these people that I have 13 saved over the years. I want to say Jim Condon. 14 I remember talking with Cathy Condon on occasion. 15 There is a name that escapes me. It's a gentleman 16 whose brother had been involved in the Cult 17 Awareness Network for a while, but I don't 18 remember his name. 19 Q. And these people trusted you, huh? 20 MR. CALHOUN: Objection; calls for 21 speculation. Lacks foundation. 22 THE WITNESS: Well, Mr. Bowles, you 23 evidently know who these people are. Why don't 24 you ask them whether they trusted me or not. 25 BY MR. BOWLES: 2759 1 Q. Were there any others other than the 2 ones you mentioned? 3 A. That's all I recall. 4 Q. When you were passing this 5 information about the Positive Action Center, did 6 they trust you as being someone ally to the Church 7 of Scientology? 8 MR. CALHOUN: Objection; calls for 9 speculation. Lacks foundation. 10 THE WITNESS: First of all, Mr. Bowles, I 11 take exception to "passing this information." I 12 simply related in social conversation what was 13 happening with the Positive Action Center with 14 regards to meetings that they were having, 15 meetings that they were planning. Some of those 16 meetings, of course, you would recall since you 17 have been in Oregon. You have probably seen the 18 newsletters that come out of the Positive Action 19 Center that some of these meetings were announced 20 in their newsletter and conversations that I had 21 with Anne Greek which had nothing, absolutely 22 nothing to do with the Church of Scientology. It 23 had to do with my estrangement with my parents and 24 other things of a counseling nature. And I did 25 not see what I was doing was insidious in any 2760 1 way. I was simply passing along information. And 2 that was my mind-set at the time. 3 So, yes, I can look back now and say 4 I shouldn't have done that, but at that time I 5 felt here is a group of friendly people that I 6 wanted to be a part of, and they are asking me for 7 this help. And I freely gave it because I felt 8 they wanted it and that it would improve my 9 chances of being accepted among this group. And 10 that's why I did it. 11 BY MR. BOWLES: 12 Q. So you did that in order to engender 13 trust from these people? Is that right? 14 A. Yeah. Yeah. I did. 15 Q. Did you do anything to betray that 16 trust during this period of time of spring of '82 17 to August of '84? 18 A. I may have. I may have gotten angry 19 at someone. I may have said something. And I may 20 have said something out of anger, but I don't 21 recall. You keep records. So you would be in a 22 better position to tell me than I can. Because I 23 don't keep records of everything that happened way 24 back when. 25 I just remember when I left 2761 1 Scientology I sat down and I pulled all my 2 resources together to document everything that I 3 had been involved in. Who I was with. And I have 4 that on file at home, but I don't recall. 5 Q. But as to Mr. Carmichael and the 6 Condons and this other person you mentioned you 7 can't remember the name, did you represent to them 8 that you were their friend during this period of 9 time? 10 A. I don't recall that, no. Because I 11 think it was widely understood there why I was 12 there. Maybe some people did trust me. I don't 13 know. But John was very friendly with me. He was 14 very giving. He was very accepting. And 15 certainly the attitude which he portrayed to me at 16 that time was clearly different than the attitude 17 and respect in which you have not treated me, 18 sir. So I have some fond memories back at that 19 time. 20 Q. We will strike that as 21 nonresponsive. 22 Mr. Scarff, were you lying to 23 Mr. Carmichael when you passed him information and 24 made efforts to have him trust you? 25 A. No. 2762 1 MR. CALHOUN: Objection; argumentative. 2 THE WITNESS: No. That's not true. 3 BY MR. BOWLES: 4 Q. The same answer for the Condons? 5 MR. CALHOUN: Objection; argumentative. 6 THE WITNESS: No. I was passing 7 information, your words, my words is I was telling 8 them what was going on in the Positive Action 9 Center. I don't ever recall feeding them 10 misinformation as you would term it. 11 BY MR. BOWLES: 12 Q. My question was, were you lying to 13 them and passing them information and asking them 14 to trust you in return? 15 A. No. 16 MR. CALHOUN: Objection; vague and 17 ambiguous. 18 BY MR. BOWLES: 19 Q. So you had no intent to betray them 20 at that time; is that right? 21 A. No, not that I can recall. 22 MR. BOWLES: Let me show you an exhibit and 23 ask you to identify it. This is going to be 24 marked as Exhibit-198. Counsel, here is your 25 copy. 2763 1 (Plaintiff's Exhibit-No. 198 2 was marked for identification and is 3 bound separately.) 4 MR. BOWLES: This is a three-page document. 5 First is a letter from Department of Justice, 6 Consumer Protection Division, dated May 24, 1982. 7 Second two page, second and third pages bear a 8 consumer complaint form dated May 18, 1992. 9 THE WITNESS: I can't read the bottom line. 10 What does the bottom line say? 11 BY MR. BOWLES: 12 Q. I can't read it either. But go ahead 13 and read the next page. 14 A. I don't recall this. 15 Q. Was that your signature on the last 16 page? 17 A. Well, someone signed Garry Scarff, 18 but it could be. I don't know. I don't 19 remember. 20 Q. Does that appear to be your 21 signature? 22 A. No. 23 Q. So are you saying this is a forgery, 24 sir? 25 A. No. What I am saying, Mr. Bowles, 2764 1 and I am going to pull Exhibit-1, I am going to 2 pull Exhibit-2 and I am going to pull Exhibit-3. 3 Because we have been over this before. I am not 4 going to pull Exhibit-1 -- well, let's see. There 5 it is. 6 Mr. Bowles, there is my exhibit, 7 sir. And if you look -- I didn't throw it at 8 you. I just laid it there, sir, so you can't 9 accuse me of assaulting you with a transcript. 10 If you read this here, and you look 11 at the signatures on Exhibit-2 and also look at 12 the signature on 3 and compare them, you will 13 notice they are similar. If you compare it with 14 that signature, you will notice it's not similar 15 at all. 16 Q. Is it your testimony that the 17 signature on the third page of this exhibit is a 18 forgery? 19 A. No, sir. I am just saying that I 20 don't recall this going out. I don't recall 21 making this complaint. It certainly does not look 22 like my signature. I don't recall signing this. 23 It is -- Scarff is certainly signed in a way that 24 is not the way that I have signed things. 25 Again, I would refer you to the 2765 1 exhibits in which I have signed and which you have 2 referred to at great length during my deposition, 3 and it does not match up with this signature. 4 Q. Do you deny making a complaint to the 5 Department of Justice, Consumer Protection 6 Division on May 18, 1982 regarding the Church of 7 Scientology? 8 A. I am not denying it and I am not 9 saying it's true. I just don't recall. I really 10 do not remember making this complaint. 11 Q. You have read the text of this 12 complaint; correct, as we have just sat here? 13 A. No, do you want me to read it? 14 Q. Go ahead. You can read it out loud. 15 A. Sure. Okay. "Consumer Complaint 16 Form, File No. 82-14071. 17 Q. To speed this up, Mr. Scarff, why 18 don't you start reading on Monday, May 18, the 19 text of the complaint. 20 A. I'm sorry, it says May 17th, sir. At 21 ten o'clock. 22 Q. What I am asking you to do, midway 23 down the page, there is a typewritten text. 24 A. Okay. 25 Q. Start reading from there, sir. 2766 1 A. "On Monday, May 18th, 2 after reading a want ad in the 3 Sunday Oregonian Help Wanted for 4 a 'Counselor' job, I went to the 5 business The Dianetic Center to 6 apply. When I asked for the job 7 salary and qualifications, I was 8 told that the job paid $5 to $10 9 per hour and that the 10 qualifications included taking 11 two tests: an IQ and 12 Personality Analysis test. If I 13 met a minimum score required for 14 the position, I would then have 15 to take two courses that would 16 cost $70 combined, which would 17 last 15 hours a course over a 18 two to three week period. Only 19 after then, would I be told if I 20 got the job. However, the 21 newspaper ad failed to note that 22 this 'job' was with the Church 23 of Scientology and that the 24 personality test is one which I 25 have been asked to take by 2767 1 members of the church over a 2 year ago when they were 3 recruiting on the corner of 4 Southwest Broadway and Salmon, 5 where the Church of Scientology 6 is located. Also, I got the 7 impression that there really is 8 not employment here, since the 9 girl who interviewed me was not 10 interested in my work 11 experience -- only that I 12 wanted to 'help people' and 13 willing to take the courses. I 14 feel like the newspaper ad was 15 fraudently used to recruit for 16 this arm of the church." 17 And then it has in 18 parentheses three asterisks "I 19 do not care if this complaint is 20 forwarded to the Church of 21 Scientology, however, I 22 sincerely request" -- 23 Then I can't read the rest of it. 24 MR. CALHOUN: "That my unlisted phone number 25 above not be given." 2768 1 BY MR. BOWLES: 2 Q. Is that what it appears to say, 3 Mr. Scarff? 4 A. I don't know, I can't read it. 5 MR. BOWLES: I would agree with 6 Mr. Calhoun. 7 THE WITNESS: Again, the second page, 8 "but" -- I'm sorry, no, it says, "out." 9 "After I took a 10 personality test with this 11 church last year and gave them 12 my telephone number, I was 13 harassed by numerous telephone 14 calls by the church trying to 15 get me to join as well as 16 several intimidating members of 17 this group coming to my 18 apartment at all hours of the 19 day proselytizing for their 20 church. Thank you very much, 21 Garry L. Scarff." 22 Then it has a copy of the newspaper 23 ad. 24 BY MR. BOWLES: 25 Q. All right. So having read that, does 2769 1 that refresh your recollection as to whether you 2 made this complaint? 3 A. No, it doesn't. 4 Q. It's possible you did make it? 5 A. It's very possible I did and I am not 6 denying that I haven't. I just don't remember. 7 It strikes me as real funny though, that if I did, 8 why the church welcomed me with open arms back in 9 1991 and even paid me to do certain things for the 10 church. It's real curious. 11 Q. Doesn't make sense, does it? 12 A. It doesn't. 13 Q. Doesn't make since they would welcome 14 you with arm opens in 1982, does it? 15 A. No. Why did you, sir? Why did you? 16 Q. Doesn't make sense, does it? 17 A. Well, Mr. Bowles, your office paid 18 me, sir, to lie. Why is that, sir? 19 Q. Strike as nonresponsive. 20 A. Mr. Bowles, do we need to refer to 21 the receipts, sir? I have the receipts. 22 Q. I am talking about 1982. 23 A. No, you brought up '82 and '92 both. 24 Q. Mr. Scarff, just listen to the 25 question. 2770 1 A. Well -- 2 Q. Doesn't make sense that the church 3 would welcome you with open arms and give you 4 courses when you were filing complaints against 5 them, would it? 6 A. It wouldn't make sense if, in fact, I 7 filed this complaint, no, it would not. But then, 8 here down the line, you welcome me with open arms 9 in 1991, and you can't seem to address or want to 10 address that issue, sir. You even paid me over 11 $1,100 to provide you, to sign a phony declaration 12 even after all of this apparent history has been 13 throw out on me. The fact that I am someone that 14 can't be trusted and your office paid me, sir, 15 $1,100 to be a part of a scheme with your office. 16 Would you please explain that to me, 17 sir, why you did that if you can't trust me? 18 Q. Are you to be trusted, Mr. Scarff? 19 A. Well, why did you pay me $1,100, 20 Mr. Bowles? 21 Q. Are you worthy of trust? 22 A. Mr. Bowles, why did you pay me 23 $1,100, sir? 24 Q. You can answer my question yes or 25 no. 2771 1 A. I just answered it. 2 Q. Are you worthy of trust? 3 MR. CALHOUN: Objection; calls for 4 speculation and argumentative. 5 THE WITNESS: You evidently thought so 6 because you paid me $1,100 to participate in an 7 unlawful scheme against other individuals. 8 BY MR. BOWLES: 9 Q. Mr. Scarff, in October of 1991, were 10 you worthy of trust? 11 A. Yes. 12 MR. CALHOUN: Objection; argumentative. 13 MR. BOWLES: Thank you. 14 THE WITNESS: I think I was worthy of trust 15 and friendship and you totally betrayed that. You 16 belong in jail for that. You are a bastard when 17 it comes to any type of integrity. 18 MR. BOWLES: Strike as nonresponsive. 19 THE WITNESS: It's nonresponsive but I am 20 going to make every attempt to see you are behind 21 bars before this year is over. Trust me. 22 BY MR. BOWLES: 23 Q. That's your answer? 24 A. That's my answer, sir. 25 MR. BOWLES: It's a little after 5:00. We 2772 1 will reconvene tomorrow. 2 VIDEO OPERATOR: We will go off the record. 3 Today is August 16th, 1993.
