THE VOICE THAT LIES.

Always Detect IL,

Always Detect II.
ANY shorthand reporter who has
been doing court reporting for long
time can tell almost infallibly by his
sense of hearing whether a witness is
telling the truth" said an old court
stcnographer the other day. "Itcomes
from experience combined with nbnor-
NAL development of the sense of hear
Ing which all first rate court and par
liamcntary stenographcrs possess. The
stcnographcrs cars become no sensI-
tive TO the slightest inilcXiOns and in

trcmulous quaver in the tone OF n man
or woman who's lying in court That the
Gtcnographer catches when the shrewd-
est judges, lawyers or jurors quite foil
to catch 1t.
When he's got his head bent over
his notebook he feels the jarrlng false
note in the voice of the liar every time,
no matter how plausible and convinc-

The young fellow was good looking,
intelligent, with face us trunk as an

II looked the young chap over before
the trial began, and decided that the
accusation ngainst him was outrageous,
