the Greene county circuit court, at

given a real surprise during the hear

Roper, carpenter, living at 2124
Howard street, one of the witnesses
in minor suit in the court refused to
be sworn by a woman.
The deputy clerk of this division is
Miss Vesta Hale, daughter of the cir
cult clerk, and she has been swearing
witnesses for some time. When
Roper advanced toward the witness
chair and started to raise his right
hand he seemed to be puzzled when
Miss Hale started to, administer the
oath. He looked around and finally
said to Judge Patterson:
~ won't be sworn by, a woman"
He refused to give his reason for his
stand but it was believed that he felt
the oath would be less effective if
administered by a woman. Judge
Patterson accepted the objection, and
swore the witness himself. The trial
then proceeded without further I'M
usual incidents.
