WOMAN'S ACTIVE MIND
COMMENT BY JUDGE The opinion that women are less accurate and more inclined to go into detail than men was expressed by Mr. Justice Fair in the Supreme Court yesterday after the hearing of a case in which most of the witnesses had been women. A woman's mind, you may think, is a more active one than a man's," said His Honor to the jury. "When a question is put to her she sees and considers a great many more things than an ordinary man does in the circumstances. Then, when she comes to answer, she has in her mind a number of things, and bo she is apt to give an inaccurate account with regard to some of them."
