required in addition to the laying OH of
the hand. Raising the right hand and
keeping it raised during the recital of
the oath is also IL form adopted by a

erly it was required to place the right

In swearing Roman Catholics, the
Bible is closed and has marked on the
outer cover cross, generally cut out of
white paper and pasted on. Sometimes
crucifix is placed upon it, which the
witness, after the oath is rccited, kisses
when there is any suspicion in the mind
of the president of the court martial, or
in that of any of its members. The
witness, if n Roman Catholic, after
kissing the cross, is frequently directed
to cross himself.-New York Times.
