Telephone Conversations as Evidence

In a recent case it was admitted
that a telephone conversation had TAX
en- place between a representative OF
the plaintiff and the defendant, but II
was claimed on the part OF the de-
fendant-appellan that each party 10
the conversation could testify only TO
what he said and could not testify to
what he heard through the telephone
presumably upon the ground that he
might have misunderstood what the
other party said. In declaring this
objection untenable the appellate divi'
sion. in the second department peril
nently said that such rule would ad'
NIT fragments of conversation. per
haps meaningless and probably unin'
stfuctive. The conversation, that Is,
what one said and the other replied,
