One Of the besetting sins Of the az
oert witness is the habit or tendency
to use a lot Of Latin words in describ-
ing an injury to the jury. In some ex-
ceptional cases. doubtless. this ID done
without affectation or for q purpose.
but We have no hesitation in saying
that in the majority of instances 1t 10
q very good index Of the learning and
capacity OF the expert, on the assump-
tion that the more words Of this sort
used theaQore probability Of knowl-
edge and thorough grounding on the
Part Of the user. A really able man
in his profession will always accommo-
date himself 10 circumstances. and. re-
alising the capacity OF the juror, use
very different forms and methods Of
expression in testifying before court
and fury than II he were making an
address or delivering paper on some
scientific subject before an audience of
his professional brethren. says the Al
bany Law Journal. A physician. for
example, who, when upon the stand.
is asked to describe something to the
Jury, uses all the high-sounding terms
and expressions he can muster. de-
serves to have very little attention
paid to his testimony-and usually gets
his deserts. An amusing example OF

be paralleled many times in court In

What the Jury wants is to be enlight-

to do this is not to use purely technical
expressions, but to explain in plain.
homely language. There is no danger
that In doing this the expert will be
liable to detract from the general es-
innate Of his own abilities. but rather
the reverse will be the case.-Minne-

A Methodist missionary In Ceylon
