Witness. "I cannot."
Counsel. "Were you married at fifteen years of age?"
Witness. "I don't think I was."
Counsel. "You know, do you not, that your marriage was several years after this arrest in Bridgeport that I have been speaking to you about?"
Witness. "I know nothing of the kind."
Counsel (resolutely). "Do you deny it?"
Witness (hesitating). "Well, no, I do not deny it."
Counsel. "I hand you now what purports to be the certificate of your marriage, three years ago. Is the date correct?"
Witness. "I never saw it before."
