Retort of Witness That Broke Up
Cross Examination.
'rThe purpose of a cross examination
in a law case" said judge, is to try
to break down the testimony Of
witness, but sometimes even the smart
est lawyer catches tartar and instead
of breaking down the witness he him
self is all broken up. 1 will never for
get sn answer made to me by He
brew witness who was the complain
ant in a burglary case In a county
court He charged the young gentle
man whom l was defending with
breaking open the door Of his apart
ment above his tailor shop. On direct
examination he testified that the alleg-
I'D burglar had broken the chain on
the inside OF the door. started in to
cross examine with that ease of man
ner which characterizes every lawyer
who has a good point up his sleeve. In
my sweetest tones / asked:
Nov, my dear sir, you say this boy
broke in your door,?
"'Yes, sir
land you say he broke the chain
that was fastened on the inside"
Eyes, sir
"'Now will you tell me how any
man on the outside Of a door could
possibly unfasten chain that was on
the insideT
.Quick as a fash he blurted out:
How should / know? Wy don't you
ask him? OATS his business. I'm a
tailor. He's tief!
THAT cross examination came to a
full stop then and there" brooklyn
