AN EXPLANATION.
Mr.. Fullerton desired {, state that Mr.. Mont.
toms connections with this woman Woodruff, rom
some further argument Mr.. Mou!ton took tue
sand ana his cross examination was resumed by
Mr. Tracy
MoULroN TEASING COUNSEL.
AS soon as Mr.. Tracy arose, Mouton made him
mad and Tracy turned paie and became jerky and
snappy. Moulton wiped his face. tweaked his
mustache, went through the attitude OF deep
study and did not rec0llect; when he did recol-
lect he said perhaps he did when he explained
this he said: cit seems to me, Mr. Tracy, that you
were present at that event and went to sieep.n
odlr. Evaris sat silently laughing at Moulton's
foxlness, and after awhile, peevsh, he got up to
move that one OF Moulton's sotro 0Ooe remarks be
stricken out. Mouton had said, as Tracy tried to
get the length OF the "true statement" illusIrat-
Ing his thickness with his hands. "You know, Mr..
Tracy, as you heard it read" MIR. Evarts wanted
this stricken out.
houton all this while. perfectly polite In his
sentences, was in provoking state OF case. He
was sitting nearly on the small OF his back, with
his hips and knees FAR forward, his hands
Alternately IN his pocket and along the frame OF
the chair, and IN his eye Rip Van Winkiish look
OF good nature, edged with malice only hall pro-
found.
MT. Tracy, 1t may be said is looking very much
worse than when the trial began-paler. more
haggard. less selfconceited. Moult0n is q great
killer OF crosse examiners.
