Question CT Eligibility OF Negroes to
Membership III american Bar
Association Up
Thursday.

Washington, Oct. 2r.-Elihu Root
told the members Of the American Bar
association here today that rules of
evidence in the United States should
be reformed SO that Il witness could
tell his story in his own way without
confusing objections on the part of
lawyers. He also dcCride the multi
plicity of laws as one of tAe worst ev-
lis of the day.
Our trial practice in the admission
and exclusion Of evidence does not
agree with the common sense. the eX-
perieEce, or the instincts of any intel
ligent layman in the country" said
Mr.. Root. And as a consequence,
while we are aiming to exclude mat
tiers which our rules declare to be in
competent or irrelevant or immater-
ial, we arc frequently also excluding
!! the truth How common it is to see
an unsophisticated witness on the
stand trying to tell a true story about
some event with which, he is familiar
and continually stopped and bewild-
cred by objections based upon distinc-
tons which do not exist in his mind
at all, and finally leacing the stand
with feeling that he has been bot
tied up and not allowed to tell the
truth. We apply these same rules
| wit hthe same rfgidity to women,
whose minds work in an entirely diff
ferent way from the mind of any law
yer whoever had anything to do with
devising or developing the rules of
evidence. 1t is an exceedingly diff
| cult thing to tell the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth on the
witness stand as any lawyer who has
been a witness must realize; and the
simplest and best way to get that done
| is to come as near as possible to al
lowing people to tell their stories their
own way"
