He asks the lawyer (Leslie Neilson) if he and "MRS" Chadwick are going to be married.
Also when referring to his wife's proverbs, in describing the Cart before the Horse, as he relates it to solving the current case, he says "there it is, the horse before the cart".

This was still first season though.
Newpaper business, right away, bothered him. I think they should have avoided the jury business and played it out with more clues and character interaction. Good he got his eleven dollars back.
I love that episode! I like the scene where the mother slaps her daughter in the face. The daughter says something to Columbo about being sorry that he had to witness that, and he responds that he's used to it being from an Italian family. Cracked-me-up 'cause I'm Italian.
