22 later decisions quote this exact passage
e.g. State v. Wilcoxon · State v. Hicks
“On cross-examination of a character witness, the latter can be interrogated as to his knowledge of the defendant’s acts and whether or not the witness has information to the effect that the defendant has been guilty of some misconduct. Appellant himself put his character in issue by calling witnesses who testified that it was good. In cross-examining these witnesses, the state did not transcend the bounds of legitimate interrogation, as defined by this court in the cases of State v. Austin, 83 Wash. 444 , 145 Pac. 451 , and State v. McMullen, 142 Wash. 7 , 252 Pac. 108 .”
