There is a rule, with its interminable re finements, fo r every step in a crim inal trial. Sixteen years ago the *tate library o f Pennsylvania con: tained the works o f fifty authorities on the single subject o f evidence— that is, on what a witness may say and how be may say it. These works were often in several volumes of from 500 to 1,000 pages— rough ly, a hundred volumes o f 50,000 pages on the rules for a single phase of a legal trial! • Since that dote s great number o f volumes have been printed on this group o f rules. Wigmore alone has written four volumes on evidence, and he hia* assembled .14,000 cases construing and interpreting their re finements. The Cyclopedia o f Law and Procedure alone contains 1,300 pages citing 65.000 cases on this ono It seems strange that in our long familiarity with the procedure ,° f I criminal trials we have not observed that they degenerated into mere rule ridden events. The counsel for the state plays on one ride, the at torney fo r the priaoner on the oth er, and the judge is the referee. The. object on the part o f these players is to win.
