“I did.”
“And what name was it?”
“Objected to as incompetent, irrelevant, and immaterial,” Sampson said. “Also, it’s hearsay. It makes no difference what name she was going under.”
“Sustained,” Judge Barnes ruled.
Mason frowned, as though in annoyance. Mason said, “I’ll try and get at it this way, Mr. Drake. Was there a person living in that apartment house known as Pete Chennery?”
“Yes, sir.”
“In what apartment did he live?”
“In apartment three-fourteen,” Drake said, before Sampson could object.
Sampson said, “Your Honor, I object to this. I move to strike out the answer until I have an opportunity to interpose an objection. I object on the ground that it is incompetent, irrelevant and immaterial, that it has nothing whatever to do with the present case.”
“I think the objection is well taken,” Judge Barnes said, “unless you can show some theory on which it would be admissible.”
