had ever had the chance TO watch
the operations Of a court. and there
were lots of things we didn't under
stand. but OF course We couldn't in
terrupt TO : questions.
THE most astounding thing to me
was when two witnesses swore to
exactly the opposite thing on the
same point. We had to decide be-
tween them as to which was telling
the truth. and we had nothing at all
to go upon. We knew nothing about
their history or what kind of people
they were. and yet we had to deter
mine which one was lying, and
which one was telling the truth. OF
course. one Of them was lying. But
he was permitted to come into court
and swear to a lie that he knew was
a lie, and the jury decided against
him, decided that he was lying. but
he was allowed to go without any
thing being done to him.
Our case. Of course. was a SIM
pie one" continued Mrs. Colby.
There was a dentist who came from
a family OF hucksters. There were
three brothers. and the dentist had
taken n of his brothers and kept
him in school, sending him through
high school. Afterward, the boy
became a huckster, but also helped
in the office Of his brother. the den
tist. One of the witnesses. a woman,
testified that she went to the den
lists Office one evening at s o'clock
and the boy tried to pull a tooth for
her, but the tooth broke and blood
began to flow. The boy told her she
would have to go away and come
back again when the tooth stopped
bleeding.
"She went away and when she
came back her jaw vas terribly
swollen and she was suffering in
tensely. The boy explained that ne
could do nothing until the swelling
went down, but. as the pain was so
great, she decided that she must
have treatment Immediately and
went TO another dentist. The new
dentist treated her and extracted
the piece of tooth left in her jaw,
and told fer TO take it back to the
other dentist and show him what
had been done.
1.-THE three brothers all swore that
the boy was merely a huckster. and
that he had never been in the dem
lists Office and had never worn a
white coat in his life. But the wom-
an positively identified the boy and
other witnesses also identified him
and said he had treated them in his
! brothers office. The boy was placed
in a group of men seated in the
courtroom, instead of on the plat
form, and still the witnesses had no
difficulty in picking him out. They
| were also very positive in their
statements and could not be con-
, fused, and they didn't have any ca
son to be against the boy unless he
really had been in the Office"
Furthermore. the boy did not
make a good impression in the court
room. He had a regular Charlie
Chaplin mustache. a lovely COM
plexion and big. eloquent brown
eyes, but he was too pert and flip
pant and SURE of his ground.
I'D much rather be tried by a
jury of women than by a jury of
men," he remarked on the morning
that the case opened. Women
wouldn't be fair to a woman who
was being tried. but with a man it'll
be different. I'm satisfied, all right
Thus the decision of the jury must
have burst upon the young man
with a tremendous shock. For It
took them almost no time at all to
| find him guilty Of the serious offense
of praeticing dentistry without a
| license.
