NOT Always Easy TO Establish Ones
Identity.
Paradoxical as ii may seem. the most
difficult thing to prove In a court OF
Ia" Is who you are. 1t is a simple
matter II you have still living plenty
OF relatives Of an older generation, but
suppose your parents and uncIes and
aunts are dead, II becomes well-nigh
impossible, says a writer In the New
York World AS matter OF fact, your
knowledge Of your Identity Is absolute
ly hearsay. You know your father and
mother called you their son, and to
that fact you may testify II the ques-
ton of your identity should ever come
before judge and jury. But the testI-
mony goes before the jury with the
warning from the judge that it is only
hearsay, for you have no personal
knowledge Of the matter.
Official town or parish records are
valuable, but by no means conclusive
Suppose you are John Smith, son Of
Robert and Mary Smith, born at AL
bany on August 1, 1855. The record OF
births In the Bureau OF Vital Statistics
at Albany Will prove that son named
John was born to Robert and Mary
Smith on that date; the register Of the
church may prove that John, son OF
Robert and Mary Smith, was baptized
on certain date. but they do not prove
that you are the John Smith, Of whom
these are records.
To establish the connection between
you and the person mentioned in the
records, In other words to prove your
own Identity. is the difficulty. II your
mother is alive she can do 1t; If any
relative who las known you since you
were born is alive he can do 1t,

that he had agreed to the postponement
of the United States attorney with the
explicit understanding that the trial
