Simply that and nothing more.
Swearing a witness is piece Of mock
cry that should be relegated to the
shades. 1t has been handed down
from a superstitious age and respected
more for its antiquity than its binding
force. 1t answered in a day when to
violate an oath witness was in deadly
fear of a higher court. That day
SEEMS to have past. A witness takes
the stand now and commences to lie
with the very first interrogatory fired at
him. The oath has lost its power.
