Men and Women on the Witness Stand in Pittsburgh
The Pittsburg Dispatch surveys whether women are less trustworthy on oath, recording opinions from Mrs. Enoch Rauh and several lawyers who defend women's credibility while acknowledging emotional bias. They contrast Dr. William H. Taylor’s claim with examples of female honesty, noting only one known case of deliberate perjury by a woman and urging equal scrutiny of both sexes.
