Commonwealth v. Jones
29 N.E. 467, 155 Mass. 170, 1892 Mass. LEXIS 274
Opinion
The question whether the government witnesses were or were not intoxicated at another time than that respecting which they testified in chief, was immaterial to the issue on the trial. The defendant, having asked the questions on cross-examination, must accept the answers. To introduce other evidence on the subject would raise a false issue.
In the cases cited by the defendant it was only determined that testimony given in chief might be contradicted.
Exceptions overruled.
