interposed
Steger
,
vigorously
.
"
His
exact
words
are
not
recorded
anywhere
except
in
Mr.
Stener
's
memory
,
and
his
memory
of
them
can
not
be
admitted
in
this
case
.
The
witness
has
testified
to
the
general
facts
.
"
Judge
Payderson
smiled
grimly
.
"
Objection
overruled
,
"
he
returned
.
"
Exception
!
"
shouted
Steger
.
"
He
said
,
as
near
as
I
can
remember
,
"
replied
Stener
,
drumming
on
the
arms
of
the
witness-chair
in
a
nervous
way
,
"
that
if
I
did
n't
give
him
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
he
was
going
to
fail
,
and
I
would
be
poor
and
go
to
the
penitentiary
.
"
"
Object
!
"
shouted
Stager
,
leaping
to
his
feet
.
"
Your
honor
,
I
object
to
the
whole
manner
in
which
this
examination
is
being
conducted
by
the
prosecution
.
The
evidence
which
the
district
attorney
is
here
trying
to
extract
from
the
uncertain
memory
of
the
witness
is
in
defiance
of
all
law
and
precedent
,
and
has
no
definite
bearing
on
the
facts
of
the
case
,
and
could
not
disprove
or
substantiate
whether
Mr.
Cowperwood
thought
or
did
not
think
that
he
was
going
to
fail
.
Mr.
Stener
might
give
one
version
of
this
conversation
or
any
conversation
that
took
place
at
this
time
,
and
Mr.
Cowperwood
another
.
As
a
matter
of
fact
,
their
versions
are
different
.
I
see
no
point
in
Mr.
Shannon
's
line
of
inquiry
,
unless
it
is
to
prejudice
the
jury
's
minds
towards
accepting
certain
allegations
which
the
prosecution
is
pleased
to
make
and
which
it
can
not
possibly
substantiate
.
I
think
you
ought
to
caution
the
witness
to
testify
only
in
regard
to
things
that
he
recalls
exactly
,
not
to
what
he
thinks
he
remembers
;
and
for
my
part
I
think
that
all
that
has
been
testified
to
in
the
last
five
minutes
might
be
well
stricken
out
.
"
"
Objection
overruled
,
"
replied
Judge
Payderson
,
rather
indifferently
;
and
Steger
who
had
been
talking
merely
to
overcome
the
weight
of
Stener
's
testimony
in
the
minds
of
the
jury
,
sat
down
.
Shannon
once
more
approached
Stener
.
"
Now
,
as
near
as
you
can
remember
,
Mr.
Stener
,
I
wish
you
would
tell
the
jury
what
else
it
was
that
Mr.
Cowperwood
said
on
that
occasion
.
He
certainly
did
n't
stop
with
the
remark
that
you
would
be
ruined
and
go
to
the
penitentiary
.
Was
n't
there
other
language
that
was
employed
on
that
occasion
?
