Another pro posed amendment was that “in turning, while in motion, or in starting to turn from ao standstill, a signal shall be given by raising the whtp or hand, In- dicating with it the direction in which the turn is to be made.” have full confidence in you, but I under- etand, I suppose Intultively, the effect the subtie little feminine arts produces on the most callous m: “I was up at dawn, Uttle/bowdoir, with the lron-barred door, T have deen as busy as a queen dee, prinking, perking, fussing and fuming over little bows and ribbons and bits of lace.

Mr. Le Barbier prodded the witness with a number of questions concerning mistakes he had made as an expert at previous trials. The most notable in- stance referred to by Mr. Le Barbier wes his testimony In the contest of the will of Eugene C, Cruger, Mr, Carvalho declaring a holograph will to be a forgery that the Court later stamped andgprobated as genuine, Couldn't Tell the Difference.
