Show How Brother Miner Got Left. . Some of the testimony in the Miner cohabitation case yesterday afternoon was of rather an amusing nature, and not calculated cal-culated to inspire much confidence in the jury in regard to the veracity of the witnesses wit-nesses for the defense. The mother of Miner's second wife testified that she had forgotten her daughter's name that is whether it . was Elizabeth Ann or Ann Elizabeth, the indictment mentioning "Annie" Adams while the father testified testi-fied that it was Elizabeth Ann, sure, and her brother swore that he had seen a certificate of baptism only three or four days ago that converted the alleged "Annie" "An-nie" into a positive "Elizabeth Ann.',' He had forgotten, however, where he saw this document, and whether it was his father or his mother who had exhibited it, although only three or four days had elapsed. The fact that his father and mother had testified to no knowledge of -any such certificate of baptism, showed a surprising lack of "coaching" on the part of the luminous Miner, and proves once more, the truth of the old adage that he M'ho hath himself for a client, hath a fool for a lawyer. |
