It was for but a moment, but I saw him," said the Indian girl positively. "Even at that, it would take corroborative testimony to convince the court," mused Ruth. "I do not understand paleface laws," said Wonota, shaking her head. "If an Indian does something like that to another Indian, the injured one can punish his enemy. And he almost always does."
He was flirting in what he conceived to be quite a desperate and depraved manner with Christabel, and what enhanced his pleasure in this entertainment was that he did it all right under the nose of the husband, who obviously didn't mind a bit. He would talk eloquently when he got home, with carefully selected corroborative details, about the wickedness of New York. Mary liked the Baldwins.
Straw Hat takes the stand and testifies he is an unusually timid man, and was most frightened to death. Sandy Beard's testimony is both graphic and corroborative. The witness in over-alls, with some embellishments of his own, supports Sandy Beard. The row of bricks is complete. The court removes a prop by remarking that the ordinance speed has not been exceeded. The bricks totter.

In that up and down manly book of old-fashioned adventure, so full, too, of honest wonders the voyage of Lionel Wafer, one of ancient Dampier's old chums I found a little matter set down so like that just quoted from Langsdorff, that I cannot forbear inserting it here for a corroborative example, if such be needed.
The human mind, incapable of reconciling such manifest contradictions, unable to obtain from their ministers any corroborative evidence, that is not disputed by the others, falls into the strangest perplexity; is involved in doubts, entangled in a labyrinth to which no clue is to be found.
The brief silence which followed this announcement was broken by the corroborative testimony of a more youthful associate of similar official distinction, and a genial and hospitable expression of countenance, somehow suggesting memories of old cognac.
