Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from Forgeries and False Entries

The expert testimony of the chemist is looked upon by the composite juryman as something above any skepticism of his, and the very mystery to him of the whole analysis is something in his mind that places the state ments made by the expert beyond any shadow of doubt or criticism of his.

Why? Because the expert in chemistry has practically established his case as soon as he has qualified as a witness, and whatever he says bearing on his analysis is accepted as a statement of facts as they exist, provided only that another in the same line equally qualified does not contradict him; and what is the te sult then? Chaos; for no combination of twelve jurymen, judge, and opposing counsel ever was or ever will be assembled that could decide which was right and which wrong.
