1. ““A. I had the shot of whiskey and drank the beer later. Q. Just one shot of whiskey? A. That’s all. Q. And one beer ? A. That’s all. Q. You drink quite heavily, don’t you, Mr. Babb? A. No, sir, not quite heavily. Q. You have been convicted of being drunk, haven’t you ? Mr. Walker: Your Honor— Mr. Kaminkow: I think that’s very relevant in this case. The Court: I don’t know what the issue— Mr. Walker: I object to any convictions, Your Honor, that do not relate to this man’s credibility. I can’t think that the State ought to be permitted to go into any other things. The Court: I will permit it to come in on anything pertaining to alcoholic beverages. By Mr. Kaminkow: Q. You were found guilty of being drunk on a public street, is that right? A. Yes, several years ago.” * ❖ ❖”
