ABSTRACT

You must remember that in these proceedings things are always coming up that are simply beyond reason, people are too tired and distracted to think and so they take refuge in superstition. I’m as bad as anyone myself. And one of the superstitions is that you’re supposed to tell from a man’s face, especially the line of his lips, how his case is going to turn out. Well, people declared that judging from the expression of your lips you would be found guilty, and in the near future too.
