He cross-examined her, I suppose, between the last ham and eggs and the first hot cakes. Her folks was corn farmers over in Iowa and she'd gone to high school and had meant to be a teacher, but took this job because with her it was anything to get out of Iowa, which she spoke of in a warm, harsh way. "Angus nearly lost the train that time, making certain there was something about her.
Axel Ström sat hoping for the best, then suddenly it seemed as if the advocate for the Crown and Fru Heyerdahl were joining forces to make things awkward for him, because he had buried the body instead of notifying the death. He was cross-examined somewhat sharply on this point, and would likely enough have come out badly if he had not all at once caught sight of Geissler sitting in the court.
Dunbar, who was now a prisoner gave the same evidence, or evidence to the same effect. Arthur Lovell again watched the proceedings in the interest of Laura's father, and cross-examined some of the witnesses. But very little new evidence was elicited. The empty pocket-book, which had been found a few paces from the body, was produced.
Lady Doughty had passed away from the troubled scene since the date of the last trial; but she had been examined and cross-examined on her death bed, and had then repeated the evidence which she gave on the previous occasion, and declared that the Claimant was an impostor.
Cross-examined Did you observe for the last three or four months before his death that he declined in his health? I observed he did; I do not say as to his health, but he seemed to shrink, and I have often told my wife my old friend Blandy was going. Had he lost any teeth latterly? I do not know as to that; he was a good-looking man. PRISONER'S COUNSEL How old was he? I think he was sixty-two.
Philanthropists and officials, who never look at people but only at papers, probably have a mass of social statistics to the contrary; founded on the simple fact that cabmen can be cross-examined about their habits and gentlemen cannot.
Bunting now remembered, had given a most circumstantial account of what The Avenger looked like, for he, it was supposed, had actually brushed by her as he passed. Those two women now before her had been interrogated and cross-examined again and again, not only by the police, but by representatives of every newspaper in London.
"First suffer that my advocate cross-examine this woman." So the advocate cross-examined, though it cannot be said that he had the better of Betty.
She has robbed me right and left, and deceived me without compunction. Still I put it to you as a married man can any woman afford to go into the witness-box, to be cross-examined and teased by her own maid, or by a brute of a barrister on her maid's information? I assure you, Seymour, the thing's not to be dreamt of.
Fearing a verdict against him, Gaston rose and cross-examined the witnesses, and so adroitly bewildered both them and the justices who sat with his grandfather on the case, that, at last, he secured the man's freedom. The girl was French, and knew English imperfectly. Gaston had her sworn, and made the most of her evidence.
