““The rule with reference to the admissibility of indirect, collateral, or circumstantial evidence is that '‘great latitude is to be allowed in the reception of indirect, or circumstantial evidence. It includes all evidence of an indirect nature, whether the inferences afforded by it be drawn from prior experience, or be a deduction of reason from the circumstances of the particular case, or of reason aided by experience. The competency of a collateral fact to be used as the basis of legitimate argument, as not to be determined by the conclusiveness of the inferences it iriay afford in reference to.the litigated fact. It is enough if these may tend, even in a slight degree, to elucidate the inquiry, or to assist, though remotely, to a determination probably forinded in truth.’...””
