Too Sharp for Counsel.
The following cross-examination was heard in a court recently;— Counsel (to witness): “ How can you prove that the prisoner stole six of your handkerchiefs ?” “ Why, because they were my handkerchiefs that were found on him. Look af them for yourself. They are exactly the same as mine. “ That proves nothing. I have some handkerchiefs like those.”
“ That’s quite possible,” replied the witness, “ several more of mine are missing.”
