"While trying a case at Kokomo against Blaine Record, charged with assault and battery upon his wife, Judge R. M. Cooper Interrupted the testimony long enough to inform the witness that he was a “damnable liar.” Record had testified that his wife fell down and that he had not knocked her down, when the court interposed with the query, “Do you know what this court thinks? It thinks you are a damnable liar.” Record was sentenced to jail for sixty days and fined $25.
