Court (roughly). "Excluded."
Counsel. "In the article you published in the New York Journal, wherein you described the occurrences in the present case, which you have just now related upon the witness-stand, did you there have yourself represented as in the position of the insane patient, with a sheet twisted around your neck, and held by the hands of the hospital nurse who was strangling you to death?"
Witness. "I wrote the article, but I did not pose for the picture. The picture was posed for by some one else who looked like me."
Counsel (stepping up to the witness and handing him the newspaper article). "Are not these words under your picture, 'This is how I saw it done, Thomas J. Minnock,' a facsimile of your handwriting?"
Witness. "Yes, sir, it is my handwriting."
Counsel. "Referring to the history of your life again how many imaginary articles on the subject have you written for the newspapers throughout the country?"
Witness. "One."
Counsel. "You have put several articles in New York papers, have you not?"
Witness. "It was only the original story. It has since been redressed, that's all."
Counsel. "Each time you signed the article and sold it to the newspaper for money, did you not?"
