detailed direct examination OF kytka.
The defendant S attorney iDterposed AN
objection 10 this procedure on the
grounds that the prosecution was cross
examining It's own witness, but the
objection was not sustained.
One point brought out by the expert
during this examination was the decla"
ration that throughout his thirty
wears of experience in his line OF work
he had never yet seen human being
write exactly alike on two occasions.
This. he said, was due to the fact that
no human being is perfectly con-
structed machine.
Reporting on the number of words
and figures contained in the blackmail
letters and Martin standards, the eX-
pert said there were 1855 words and
397 figures in the disputed documents
aud S97 words and 155 figures In the
Martin standards.
The remainder of the morning session
was devoted entirely to the introduc.
