3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Gray v. State · Void v. State““As stated in Frazier v. Waterman S.S. Corp., 206 Md. 434, 446 , 112 A.2d 221 [ (1955) ], ‘ “The ascertainment of the truth is the great end and object of all the proceedings in a judicial trial,” we think that the complete exclusion of the testimony of witnesses for a violation of the sequestration rule is not lightly to be imposed as a penalty upon even an offending party.’ ””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Prior to the adoption of the exclusion rule it was within the discretion of the trial court whether to exclude a witness, although abuse of discretion was reversible error. Since the adoption of former Rules 536 and 755, now Md. Rule 2-513, however, it has been held that the rule is now obligatory and no longer discretionary.” (Citations omitted.)”
