taken less interest and not looked"

"Now, as a matter of fact, sitting
in your house at No. At Stevens street,

of Mrs Vaughan, can you?"
''No, sir; can look through the room,
but can't see the floor of the bedroom"

Judge Stoddard rose and asked the
board if there was any rule about the
cross examination, which had already
lasted three hours, and which he said
had been only on collateral matters. He
thought that the ross-examinaion had
lasted long enough and asked that it
be stopped.
Mr.. Goodhart said that Mrs Loud
was making efforts to smirch the char
acter of Mrs Vaughan and that the
witness was, by her testimony, show
ing that her evidence was nto worthy
of credence.
Judge Stoddard-"Her testimony has
not been impeached one particle by
this cross examination. 1t has rather
been corroborated. What he says
about her evidence not being worthy of
credence is untrue. There must be
some end to the cross
DIR. Fleischner-"The board would
like to have the cross examination as
brief as possible, but would have to hear
anything germane to the subject"
