Perry: Ever hear of Dr. Carson?
Eric Craig: Why yes.
Perry: The morning after the night on which you tripped and stumbled. Did you see Dr. Carson for the treatment of an injured shoulder? A shoulder you told him you injured in a wrestling match.
Eric Craig: Well, yes, I suppose I did.
Perry: Was the defendant running away as you testified? Or did you accost her? Attempt to force your unwelcome attentions on her and did she by the use of Jiujitsu throw you herself to the ground.
Eric Craig: Now look here.
Perry: Did you not lie when you testified that she was running away? That you tried to catch her, that she got away when you tripped and stumbled. (pause) No further questions. edit »
