Very Evidently There Was Nothing
TO Be Got Out Of Him.

Two kinds OF witnesses are often
encountered in courts OF justice-the
unwilling witness and the too-willing

seem to come under either category.

dressed him:

whether the defendant, to your knowl.

sion'

echoed the counsel.
IF I am not mistaken. he occu-

That's all. Mr.. Parks. Do ! under
stand you to affirm that the defend
ant is a professor Of rellgion?'
"He Is"
Does his practice correspond with
his profession?"
Il never heard OF any correspond
ence or letter Of any kind"
you said something about his pro-
pensity for drinking. Does he drink
hard?"
NO, sir. I think he drinks as easy
as any man ever saw"
