Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Evidence — Stenographic Notes. The provisions of section 1 of chapter 494 of the Laws of 1905 do not constitute a restriction of the use to be made of stenographic notes in a nisi prius trial, but are an extension of such use.</p> <p>2. - Testimony Given at a Former Trial — Stenographic Notes. To reproduce the testimony of a witness who has died or is absent from the jurisdiction of the court and who has testified to the fact in issue on a former trial it is not error to permit the court stenographer to translate and read his stenographic notes of such evidence in the hearing of the jury, instead of requiring that the notes be transcribed and certified.</p>
