Counsel (amiably). "Mr. Minnock, I believe you have written the story of your life and published it in the Bridgeport Sunday Herald as recently as last December? I hold the original article in my hand."
Witness. "It was not the story of my life."
Counsel. "The article is signed by you and purports to be a history of your life."
Witness. "It is an imaginary story dealing with hypnotism. Fiction partly, but it dealt with facts."
Counsel. "That is, you mean to say you mixed fiction and fact in the history of your life?"
Witness. "Yes, sir."
Counsel. "In other words, you dressed up facts with fiction to make them more interesting?"
Witness. "Precisely."
Counsel. "When in this article you wrote that at the age of twelve you ran away with a circus, was that dressed up?"
