Counsel. "Read it, read it carefully."
Witness (reading). "I don't see anything about it."
Counsel. "Had you forgotten it at that time as well?"
Witness (in confusion). "I certainly must have."
Counsel. "Do you want this jury to believe that, having witnessed this horrible scene which you have described, you immediately forgot it, and on two different occasions when you were narrating under oath what took place in that hospital, you forgot to mention it?"
Witness. "It escaped my memory."
Counsel. "You have testified as a witness before in this case, have you not?"
Witness. "Yes, sir."
Counsel. "Before the coroner?"
