McNiven's voice: “I 'bject. There is no evidence witness even saw the book.”
The judge: “Objection s'tained.”
“Well, then, Mrs. Cheever, did you see the defendant write in the book?”
“I—I—perhaps I did—”
“Perhaps you did. You heard the waiter Magruder testify here awhile ago that he insisted on defendant registering, and defendant reluctantly complied. Do you remember that?”
“I—I—I believe I do. But I didn't see what he wrote.”
“You didn't see what he wrote. Exhibit A shows that he wrote 'Mr. and Mrs. James Dysart.' You heard the handwriting experts testify that the writing was Dyckman's. But you did not see the writing. Did you not, however, hear the waiter speak of you as the defendant's wife?”
“Well—I may have heard him.”
“You didn't tell him that you were not the defendant's wife?”
“I didn't speak to the waiter at all. It was a very embarrassing situation.”
