 Quotes Legal Authority
 MT. Greenstein quoted "Underhill on Criminal Evidence" to support his contention that the statement was admissible, but Judge Mangan replied that the quotation referred to "adverse witnesses and it is a fundamental rule of law that an examining attorney cannot impeach his own witness.
 MT. Greenstein insisted that his contention was correct but Judge Mangan would not allow the intro- duction of the boys statement. Re suming his examination of the boy, MT. Greenstein asked him if he had told Miss Britsoll the truth, and the boy replied that he had told her lie so that he could be excused and allowed to return to his classroom.
