"What did she say?"
"She was crying, as hysterical people do. She kept saying, 'They threw pepper in my eyes.'"
"'I can't drink any more wine.' She also said she was a friend of Mr. O'Donnell."
"What did you do?"
"I examined to see if she had been attacked, and found there were no such indications. I cut her loose and found she wasn't in a bad way. Her pulse was good and she did not need medicine."
"How about her wounds?"
"They were scratches, and not cuts."
"When we took her to a room she kept crying and said, 'They cut me! They threw pepper in my eyes and put me in a cab.'"
"We object to this form of questioning," said Mr. Short.
"The objection is sustained. The court will state why. You are asking questions, Mr. O'Donnell, on matters that nobody can testify to unless you take the stand yourself."
