Show EVIDENCE A man was charged with shooting a number of pigeons, the property of a farmer. Counsel for the defense tried to frighten the farmer. "Now," he remarked, "are you prepared to swear that this man shot your pigeons?" "I didn't say he shot 'em," was the reply. "I said I suspected him of doing it." "Ah! Now we're coming to it. What made you suspect the man?" "Well, first, I caught him on my land with a gun. Secondly, I heard a gun go off and saw some pigeons fall Thirdly, I found four of my pigeons in his pocket, and I don't think the birds flew there and committed com-mitted suicide." |
