"The they tried constantly to get me to drink." Montgomery said, "and Stain Hennessey, one of the women who was sent into the spirit of the occasion."
Charles Henshall | 140, attorney for the defense, cross-examined the plaintiff.
"Did you take a drink?" Henshell asked.
Montgomery was emphatic in his "no."
"Why didn't you?" the course persisted.
"I hate rum," Montgomery declared, and the bailiff's gavel was pounding for order.
When in high school, Montgomery had previously testified, he was an eagle scout and a prize orator for the W.C.T.U.
Henshall went on: "How did you know that it was liquor they were drinking?"

In his testimony Montgomery related how he refused to associate with his "date," Starr Hennessy, but that she "associated with him." "She held my hand and tried to get me to drink," he said.
When Henshall asked if he "even made a pass at any of the women" prosecuting attorney Floyd Kelly I40, objected and insisted that the defense counsel restate his question in English.
Henshall began again: "Did you ever attempt to enter into anything more than a platoon relationship with the women?" The witness did
Don't know what he means.
"Did you get fresh with these girls?" Amid the laughter in the courtroom, Montgomery shook his head and signified that he didn't understand the question.
But when Henshall asked if the witness kissed one of the girls, Montgomery was emphatic and indignant in his "no."
Henbail and Glenn MacCann, 140, are the defense attorneys while Ed Page, 140, and Kelly, are prosecuting the case for the state. The attorneys had no trouble in agreeing on a jury. When the first 18 jurors were called they were asked if they had ever read about the case in the Daily Kansan. All 18 raises their hands in affirmative.
