at it. Black says he didn't see him look at it",
Whereupon the following occurred:
" Mr. Rosser, He is misstating the evidence. Rogers never
said he didn't look at the body, he said he was behind him,
and didn't know whether he did or not, and Black says he didn't
know whether he did or not."
" Mr. Dorsey: Rogers said he never did look at that body".
" Mr. Arnold: I think that isn't the evidence. Rogers
said he didn't know, and couldn't answer whether he saw it or not
and Black said the same thing".
Mr. Dorsey (resuming) : "I am not going to quibble with you. The
truth is, and you know it, that when that man Frank went down
there to look at that body of that poor girl, to identify her,
that he never went in that room, and if he did look at her long
enough to identify her, neither John Black nor Rogers nor Ghee-
ling knew it. I tell you, gentlemen of the jury, that the truth
of this thing is that Frank never looked at the body of that poor
girl, but if he did, it was just a glance, as the electric light
was flashed on and immediately turned and went into another room".
"Mr. Rosser: There isn't a bit of proof that he went into
another room. I object again, sir, there isn't a particle of
proof of that".
" The Court: Look it up and see what was said".
" Mr. Dorsey: I know this evidence".
" Mr. Rosser: If your Honor allows it to go on, there's no
use looking it up. He never said anything about going into
another room".
"The Court: What is your remembrance about that."
Mr. Rosser: It isn't true. Your Honor."
"Mr. Dorsey: I challenge you to produce it"
"Mr. Rosser: There's no use to challenge it, if he goes on and
makes the argument they make, those deductions for which there's
no basis, but when he makes a mis-statement of the evidence, it's
perfectly useless to go on and look it up, and we decline to
look it up".
Mr. Dorsey: I insist that they look it up. I insist that I'm
sticking to the facts".
Mr. Rosser: No you are not".
