"No."
"Did you ever see him before?"
"Yes."

"I shall have to say that he was boisterous and yelling then, but not so wildly excited."
"Then it was only a difference in degree, not kind. Was he not accomplishing what he was ordered to do?"
"Yes, he certainly did bring that limber out of the gulch."
"Then it is only a matter of opinion that he was drunk. You have nothing to guide you except your judgment that the man was drunk, who was still doing his duty pretty effectively."
"But there could be no mistake. I know that the man was raging drunk."
