the direct testimony-did not wish TO be interrupted
Mi Van b. thought the rules Of law ent,tle them

asked Mrs U. as 10 her interview with Mr. Lawson.
The Court thought it would be proper to ask the
witness if Mrs. L. said anything unfavorable as to
Mrs F. and to follow up to see II 1t was SAID as she
testified.
