A BAD MARK FROM GOD.
a Little Girls Original Definition In Court
of 'Nhat Is n Sin?"

A Little Girls Original Definition In Court
of "What Is n Sin?"
An incident worth recording occurred
before Chief Judge Sedgewick of the
superior court in the trial of the action
brought in behalf Of Ida Goldberg to re-
cover $l5, damages from Edward
Ridley s. Sons for injuries received in
being knocked down and run over by
one Of the wagons Of the firm. The girl
had her arm fractured. The defense was
that she was responsible for the acci-
dent by her own negligence.
Lottie Goldberg, a sister of the plain
tiff, who is only 1 years of age, was
called to the witness chair to testify to
the circumstances of the accident. She
was such little child that she was
questioned as to her understanding the
nature Of an oath, in order to ascertain
whether she should be allowed to testify.
do you understand tho nature of an
oath?'
"Yes, SIR"
"What is it?"
"It is a swear"
On cross examination the little girl
was asked:
"What do you mean when you say it
Is q swear?'
"Well, it is that have to tell tho
truth.
"If you don't tell the truth. what
thenT'
"That would be sin"
"What is q sin?"
"A bad mark from God," answered
the little one
The venerable chief judge was visibly
touched at this answer of the child and
remarked, "This is very intelligent
child and perfectly understands the OBJ
legations of an OATH" She was then al
lowed to give her testimony. New York
