"When you found it necessary to correct this boy by the gentle persuasion of force, what kind of a weapon did you use?"
The witness answered, mildly enough, "I had a little strip of leather that I used when it was unavoidably necessary."
"A rawhide, was it?"
"I said a little strip of leather. You can call it what you choose."
"Was it the kind of a strip of leather commonly known as a rawhide?"
"It was."
"What other mode of punishment did you practise on this child besides rawhiding him?"
"I can't recall any."
"Did you pull his ears?"
"Probably."
