The Melting Pot
OOMEi TAKE POTIUCK
WITH CS

Force OF habit, particularly when
IL keeps one out Of libel suits and
avoids unpleasant entanglements
with the postal authorities, is usual
ly part OF every newspaper mans
makeup. as Issac Kane Parks OF
Mishawaka will testify. following a
lawsuit he just finished trying at
Logansport, according 10 Mr.. Parks
himself at the St. Joseph County
Bar associations banquet at the
oliver hotel Saturday night.
At least Mr.. Parks will say that
this force Of habit Of one newspaper
man OF not getting himself into libel
suits or in entanglements with the
postal authorities is very pro-
nounced.
According 10 Mr.. Parks, he was
examining a witness in the case he
was trying in the Logansport court.
1t was a suit for divorce a woman
was bringing against her husband
The witness being examined was the
son of the two principals, and he
was testifying as to the mistreatment
his father had accorded his mother
and OF the strong language his
! father used toward his mother.
But when it came TO telling just
what the father said to the mother,
the witness would hedge, and goi
around it without telling the exact
words used. Again and again Mr.
Parks would try to get from the wit
ness the exact wording Of the strong
language about which he was testi-
flying, but each time the effort was
made by the Mishawaka lawyer, the
witness would easily evade the is
sue. and would merely give YER
sion of what was said.
Finally Mr.. Parks gave up in
dispair. and excused the witness
without learning just what the hus-
band of the woman who was suing
for divorce had called her. All the
lawyer and court knew about the
strong language was that the witness
said IL was strong.
THE case concluded, Mr.. Parks called
the son and newspaper man witness
aside and asked why he did not tel
on the witness stand exactly what
the sthrong language of which HI
had testified had consisted Of.
|
"Why don't you tell just wha
your father said to your MOTHER
asked Mr.. Parks.
The postal regulations wouldn'
permit" answered the witness who's
testimony had been governed by tn
same force of habit that had gov
erened him in his newspaper work
land had kept him out Of the court
I'm libel suits and out of entangle
ments with the postal authorities.
