It can be deadly dull too when the hours slip by as the same testi- mony is rehashed and rehashed, or the laywers argue endlessly over some technical point. I find it annoying too for my tidy mind likes all the tag ends cleared up and tucked away, but often con- ry evidence is left unexplained. I saw the famous Angelo Branca in action once which was a marvel- ous yet awesome scene to watch. I saw him reduce an intelligent man to a@ confused and uncertain witness bo wasn’t entirely sure of anything had seen or done, and I could have wept for him. I have had some funny experienc- es tov. If the courtroom is more or less deserted as is often the case, I usually pick the last seat in the last I was sitting“in this favorite. spot during one ¢ase, surrounded by about twenty-five empty seats when a man slipped the seat beside me, murmuring “Do ‘you mind if I git beside you?” I eyed the 25 empty seats but answered that I didn’t mind in the least. He was ‘about ten years older than myself, I ‘judged, and was dressed in heavy shirt and work pants, & ee to The case was droning on when suddenly a voice said “My you've got nice feet.” Startled I stared at the man beside me-and then down at my feet. “You should’see mine,” he con- tinued. Not wishing to do anything of the kind, I smiled slightly and made 2 obvious show of listening intently to the case. Five minutes later came the re- mark ‘‘Are you: married?” Now that was a leading aquéstion, but in the quiet of the court-room_I took the easy way out ‘and merely nodded “yes.” “Shucks,” he said. “all the nice ones are.” zi Well at this point there was no denying that myego had taken a definite rise. It’s always encouraging to know that you are not quite on the shelf, that “you are still attrac- tive to men’. . . even an old cowhand. But on the other hand, I was feel- ing very uncomfortable and tried to Se THE PARTY Liners squeeze a little farther into the corner. 7 A few minutes later he again murmured “Mmmm, you sure have got pretty feet.” I tucked them under the chair, but not without the amusing thought that it was the first time 1 had known’ anyone to go into ecstacies over my feet. They were clean and I had ten toes like every- one else, and I could’t see anything special about them. Another interval passed. “Got a nice husband. “Yes, very nice,” I answered. I began to wonder who was getting cross-examined. your husband you were sitting be- side yesterday?” “no” : looked like, but I’ignored the ques- tion, wrote busily on my notebook and he let the matter drop.

Even though I was innocent, I had the guilty feeling of being a party to a mild flirtation that was disturbing the whole court-room.
