Squire:—“You are a carpenter, are you not?”
“Yes, sir.”
“You were working near the place where the row occurred?”
“Yes, sir.”
“How far away were you?”
“Thirty-six and a half feet.”
“How can you tell so exact?”
“’Cause I measured it. I thought right away, some fool from court would ask me about it.”
