Patrick Flanagan was a witness in
a case where truthfulness compelled
him to give some testimony against
the man on trial, who was a particu-
lar friend of his. Patrick's ordina-
rily rich brogue had recently been
rendered more than usually unintel-
ligible by an accident to which he re-
ferred with feeling in the course of
his testimony.
He was frequently called upon to
repeat his answers, which were evil
IDENTIFY made under protest, and be-
tween these constant requests and
the long words with which the air of
the courtroom seemed to Patrick to
be filled, his anger ose and his con-
fusion steadily increased.
Don't prevaricate, said the judge
at last as Patrick returned a sur
prisingly incoherent answer to a ques.
ton addressed to him.
"Prevaricate, is ity" cried Mr.. Elan.
