Mr. Justice McFarlane ruled such a question and answer thereto "inadmissable." It was "opinion evidence," said Mr. Hogg. Such evidence could only be given by experts. He contended there were no experts on another person's state of mind. Mr. Justice Macfarlane finally allowed a question asking witness what he noticed when he told Ryan about Lorraine Tait's death. In the presence of the jury, Mr. Brown asked of Mr. Anfield; "At the time you gave this information to the accused, what did you observe about him?" "He became violently agitated. He broke into tears." "Did you ever see him in tears before?" "No." When Mr. Anfield first was examined, he told the court he had known Ryan since January, 1946. He knew Lorraine Tait as Old Age Pension No Means Test The company applied for split certification so that the coast scale of pay would apply west of the Cascades.

The general vehemently opposed letting the island bastion of Formosa fall into Red hands, declaring that, in hostile possession, it would "breach completely" the United States Pacific defence line. Another high point of Mac-Arthur's testimony was that he was "very definitely convinced" that Russia conspired with Red China and North Korea to launch the Invasion of South Korea but war with China was "not Inevitable." Asked if he knew that Secretary of State Acheson was vigorously opposed to his recall, General MacArthur said he did not know but he believed his dismissal was on the judgment of one person (presumably President Truman). 1 55.
