Cowperwood sitting there knew how to use this very cheaply come-by money to the very best advantage? Does he look to you as though he didn't? You have seen him on the witness-stand. You have heard him testify. Very suave, very straightforward-seeming, very innocent, doing everything as a favor to Mr.
"The passive master lent his hand To the vast soul that o'er him planned." All other passages claimed in support of the notion of an infallible Bible fail on the witness-stand. There is positively nothing in the New Testament which lends a reasonable countenance to such an amazing theory.
And after all that, the Lexow disclosures of inconceivable rottenness of a Tammany police; the woe unto you! of Christian priests calling vainly upon the chief of the city "to save its children from a living hell," and the contemptuous reply on the witness-stand of the head of the party of organized robbery, at the door of which it was all laid, that he was "in politics, working for his own pocket all the time, same as you and everybody else!"

I could not take my eyes from that pale-faced man on the witness-stand, who knew that with every word he was riveting an awful crime to a living fellow-being. "One question more," said Goldberger. "Have you any way of telling by whom these prints were made?"
"And now you take the witness-stand, sir look me in the eyes, put your hand on your fob-pocket and tell me the truth. Todd says you have been here every day for a week looking as if you had lost your last fip-penny-bit and wild to see me. What has happened?" "Todd has a vivid imagination."
They don't work you all day, do they? 'No; they'd like to, but they don't. I have been writing. 'Writing what? Say, you don't mind my putting you on the witness-stand, do you?
