Excerpt from Investigation of Organized Crime in Interstate Commerce: Hearings Before a Special Committee to Investigate Organized Crime in Interstate Commerce, United States Senate, Eighty-First Congress, Second Session, And, Eighty-Second Congress, First Session; Part 1-A, Florida Some of the parts of the story Which the Witness is expected to tell relate to things Which he did not experience but was told about in the gambling world of Dade County. This is hearsay evidence, and it should be judged as such. As to the direct evidence, the Witness is swearing under oath to the things he swears did happen. As to the hearsay evidence, all the Witness is swearing to is What some other person told him about things that happened. With a witness who was as close to the center of activities in the Miami area as this witness was, however, we think that it is fair to hear the witness' testimony of the hearsay, with this caution which I have just mentioned. I might add a word as to why the committee is commencing a hearing at this hour. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
