Knew His Wants,
From the Chicago Post.


The cross-examiner had had the witness
on the stand for some time and the latter
was naturally getting a little weary.
IF you would only answer my questions
properly said the cross-examiner who
was called by courtesy a lawyer, we would
have no trouble"
The witness, who was good witness,
simply locked askance and let it go at that
IF L could only get you to understand"
continued the lawyer, that all i want to
know Is what you know, We
1T would take you Il lifetime to acquire
that, interrupted the witness.
The lawyer recovered shortly after, being
accustomed to knockout blows and tried
to explain himself.
What l mean is that I merely want to
learn what you know about this affair."" he
said. Il don't care anything about your
abstract knowledge of law or your infor-
nation in regard to theosophy. but what
you know about this case
"Oh. that isn't what you want" returned
the witness in an offhand way. I've been
trying to give you that for some time,
and
OF course the lawyer got in his deadly
work in the line of objections at this point
and the witness had to stop.
IF don't want to know what you know
about this particular case and nothing
else" inquired the lawyer later. what Go
you think l do want to know?'
That seemed so easy to the witness that
he almost laughed, and he showed a will
ingness to speak that made the lawyer pre-
pare to object before a word was said.
1T isn't what l know that you want to
know; it's what you think l know that
you're after: and you're trying to make me
know it or prove me a liar.
Then it was that every one in the court
room knew that he had been on the Wit
ness stand before.
