...fetched Dr. Sander the syringe, testified that she had also been with Dr. Snay. A state's witness, she admitted on cross-examination that she had made the statement: "I am certain that Mrs. Borroto was dead before Dr. Sander entered her room. She had death pallor. She was not breathing ... I would say that Mrs. Borroto was dead when Dr. Snay saw her. Dr. Sander did not kill her because she was dead when this injection was made...

Said Irish: "At least...
...lies with the poniard of truth." Churchill heaved himself to his feet and objected to the word "lies." The bewigged Speaker overruled him.
