IGNATIUS V. FARMERS' STATE BANK 33
(272 F)
cross-examination he related in detail the instructions he gave, the
loading, the tilling of the magazine, the cocking of the hammer, the
operation of the safety device, and the manner of holding and shoot-
ing the pistol. It is not strictly accurate to say that in stating that the

the witness was but expressing an opinion. What the witness said was
but an abbreviated way of relating the facts as he elsewhere stated

there cited.
The judgment is affirmed.
