house were part ol the SAME load.
Witness described part of the articles
he took TO his own house. | can't say
whether or not the goods taken to Mr..
DucbCr's house were FOR his use. Wit
ness was asked why, after being Ill
rcCted to take tue load to DuebCrs
house, he took part of 1t to his own
house. Defense objected and the usual
argument followed. Prosecutor Jones
sqld the witness WAS tCstilying in his
own behalf, and if his hands were clean
the whole truth would not hurt him.
and yet his attorneys were Objcctng to
every question. The prosecution only
desired to have the truth. The defense
protested that this was not proper cross
examination, and that it was wrong to
attempt to try to reflect discredit upon
the witness In any such manner, Oh.

/ was asked what goods lac received for

was innocent IL was singular that his at
torncys should get scared and object to
every question. They had consumed the

if they had allowed witness to answer
