gested that a new hitch rack on

We really had no idea of giv
ing offense, Mr. Moore. .Simply
ca'led attention to the fact that
the question of sex was, not
charged against the prisoner at
bar, hence it was irrelevant, im
material, redundant, and calcu
lated to prejudice the minds of
the people before he, she or it
had been called to triaL . The
people seem to "know nothing
about this phase of the case and
you seem to have been the only
one snooping around seeking in
formation along this line; so tell, I
Moore and tell us true did the
examination fall to you? If he, '
she or it, really is a woman it
would, make another splendid
sensational headline for the
Times and give Mpore news. '
