Testimony Unimpeached
Smart Lawyer - You say that on the night of the murder tho moon was so bright that you could seo the burglars ín the room. Was your husband awako at the time? Witness - I don't know. "Ilis face was toward you, wasn't it; or was it not?" "I don't know." "Eli? You don't know? Was his face turncd toward you or toward the wall?" "I don't know." "Gentlemen of the jury, you hear the witness. She identifles the prisoners as the burglars who were in the room, and yet she cannot teil in what position her husband was lying. Now (to witness), why don't you know?" "I could not see." "Ah, ha! I thought so. She could not see. She, who identiües the prisoners, could not see which way her husband's face was turned. Explain that, madam, if you can." "Well, eir, my husband ia so bald that in a dim light I can't teil bis face from tho back of hia heau." - Philadelphia Record.
