The Value of Expert Testimony.

Medical Expert (on the witnessstand) —No, sir, it would have been impossible for the accused to quietly think out his plans for committing the murder while walking on Broadway. Counsel for the Defendant—State why, Doctor. Medical Expert—Because Broadway is the main artery of the city, and my professional skill teaches me that a quiet vein of thought on a main artery is paradoxical and absurd. Here the counsel for the prosecution displayed consternation, and several of the jury made voluminous notes. — New York 1 irnes.
