Here a motion to "strike out," with the result that the last phrase was so ordered stricken out.
"Where did it come from?"
"From a distance. From within or beyond the woods."
"Did you know at the time that there was another bay or cove there—below that strip of woods?"
"No, sir."
"Well, what did you think then—that it might have come from within the woods below where you were?"
(Objected to—and objection sustained.)
"And now tell us, was it a man's or a woman's cry? What kind of a cry was it?"
"It was a woman's cry, and something like 'Oh, oh!' or 'Oh, my!'—very piercing and clear, but distant, of course. A double scream such as one might make when in pain."
"You are sure you could not be mistaken as to the kind of a cry it was—male or female."
