Seeks to Undermine Testimony
Before the court adjourned for lunch
Arthur OLeary addressed Judge Hand.
He said the woman was drug addict
and should not be allowed to go to
lunch without a special guard to pre-
vent her from getting supply of
drugs. On learning that she was in
custody of government agents, Judge
Hand declined to appoint a special
guard.
When the witness was turned over
to the defence for cross examination,
Arthur OLeary conducted it. He
hurled questions at her and sought by
every means to prove that drugs she
has used for twenty years had so
dulled her intellect that her testimony
was worthless.

dered

ceiving an affirmative reply asked:

material and was sustained.
