Show A COMPETENT WITNESS. "William Look, who made you?" William who was considered foolish screwed up his face, and looking thoughtful and somewhat bewildered replied, "Moses, Is'pose." "That will do," said counselor Grey, addressing tho court. "The witness says he supposed Moses made him. That is an intelligent answer.more than I thought him capable of giving, for it shows that ho has some faint idea of Scripture. I submit that it is not sufficient suf-ficient to entitle him to be sworn as a witness -apable of giving evidence." 1 "Mister -fudge," said the fool, "may I us tho lawyer question." "Certainly," said the Jndge "Well, then, Mister Lawyer, who d'ye s'pose made you?" "Aaron, I s'pose," Paid counselor Gray, imitating the witness. After the mirth had somewhat subsided, sub-sided, the witness drawled out : "Wall, ne-ow, we do read in (he book that Aaron once made a call", but who'd a thought the darned critter got in here !" The Judge ordered the man to be sworn. |
