"No, sir," interrupted Miss Gingles.
"Here, look at it; there it is, twenty years old."
"I told them I was eighteen."
"You have said you were born in Ireland?"
"Yes."
"But this document says—your admission—that you were born in London."
The witness made no answer.
Mr. Short attempted to offer the document in evidence, but was temporarily prevented by a ruling of the court.
