ON THE WITNESS STAND.
Tho Right of a Witness to Qualify His
Answers.


Answers.
Like Stevenson's child, as a rule, the
witness should speak only when he Is
spoken to. He should not volunteer
anything except that when he is asked
question which with apparent inno-
cence could really be answered Eyes"
or mo" he has right to qualify a
plain "Yes" or No" This Of course
happens most often In the case of ex-

the distinguished expert witnesses for
the commonwealth In the case Of COM

1t Is a mistaken notion that wit

functions only a century or two ago.
The theory as to categorical reply was
completely exploded by the gentleman
who propounded the question, when
are you going to stop beating your
wife," and demanded n categorical an

you that you must answer Yes or

Mannerly behavior on the part Of
witnesses includes keeping ones tenn

Cross examination for the purpose Of
testing your memory Is not intended
to be and should not be regarded as
insulting. 1t should therefore not be
resented. IL the cross examination
transccnds ill bounds and your pa
tlence Is exhausted n sharp retort will
not necessarily injure your testimony
with the jury. The jury sympathizes
with the witness more than with the
lawyer, and, while mere smartness for
the sake Of being smart or because of
too expansive personality is to be de-
plored, you will be sure Of sympa-
thetic audience IL you are In the right
and counsel IN the wrong.-Ira Jewell

A crying need of the twentieth cen
fury IS that dogs should be placed under
the same restriction as other domestic
animals, which the law has decided to
be property. Aside from the personal
injuries they inflict, the damage they
do to property amounts to millions of
dollars year The dog today is a
privileged character, and not until he is
put under the same conditions of re-
straint as the other domestic animals
can sheep farming be safely carried on
at profit Dogs should be confined to
the land or property of their owners,
and either held in restraint or muzzled
when they leave it. This is required
for all other animals. Why not the
dog ? Not even children are allowed as
much liberty as the worthless ours that
make sheep farming almost impossible
and endanger the lives of many people.

were any letters of warning upon the

In the police.t He promptly replied:
mo police for me-" and the detective
was thereupon received without hest
tation or mental reservation. During
the next seven or eight months Butts
worked with this gang of counter
feiters as shower of queer.
"Counterfeit showers" as they are
called, usually travel in pairs. One
fellow carries the bogus money and
remains outside, while the other
takes one bill, enters a place of bust
ness, purchases some trifle, tenders
the counterfeit note in payment, and
receives change in good money. If
this precaution were not observed,
the possession of other counterfeit
money, in case of detection and arrest,
would indicate guilt and lead almost
inevitably to conviction.
Detective Butts, however, did not
pass any counterfeit money but used
instead good bill in the place of the
one he received from the carrier
That was kept for evidence, and in
this way he deceived the queersmen
