An Expert ON LYING.

A Kansas City lawyer tells of the
use of expert testimony on lying. He
says: ID
l was prosecuting attorney for Fin
ney county in 1881, and had fellow
up before Squire N. @. Jones on the
charge or horse stealing. He hired
Mike Sutton to defend him. and
when the case was called proved
beyond question by n witness who
Witnessed the theft that we had the
right man. After the prosecution had
rested Sutton introduced Buffalo
Jones as witness, and gravely In
formed the court that he intended to
prove by him that my witness had
lied. Buffalo took the stand and
swore that, while he had never seen
or heard the witness before and knew
nothing at all about the crime COM
mitted. he had had a great deal OF ex.
perience with men and could tell pref
ty certain when they were lying.
Then he proceeded to tell how men
acted when they were lying. and
gave the expert opinion that my wit.
ness had sworn to lies from the word
go. protested against such perform.
ances, but sutton made the Judge be.
lieve he had as much right to intro
duce an expert on liars as he would
have to introduce an expert on medi-
cine or any other science. and the re
suit was the thief was dismissed from
custody
