Q. You say perhaps so; would it not certainly so look?
A. I think it would.
Q. Have you the statuette now?
A. Yes, sir, it is at our house.
At this point of the trial the statuette was sent for and brought into court by the father of the witness. Mr. Waters took it into his possession. Considerable discussion arose when the prosecuting attorney insisted upon being allowed to examine it. Mr. Waters became almost violent, and declared he would smash the image rather than be so imposed upon. He was cross-examining the witness with no testimony for the accused, and he insisted upon his rights without interruption. The court ruled in Mr. Waters’s favor. He, holding the statuette by the base, walked up to Miss B., and inquired of her if she recognized it as her own.
A. I certainly do.
Q. And how do you know it is certainly your own?
A. It is just like mine.
Q. But are there not other copies so like it as that you cannot tell the difference, nor one from the others?
A. Yes.
