 At the end of His twelfth hour on the stand, the witness appeared ex- hausted. His body was limp, and his eyes half closed, but his head was held back and his answers still came clearly and defiantly, despite cata- ract of innuencoes, disparaging re- marks about his mentality and cnar-' acter and other bitter verhal snots heaped. on him by his questioners.
