Exhibit item: Quotation: "Curious how some men will lose their grip on the truth when they talk about bears, said Mr. Jack Waddell of Ventura. 'There's old Ari Hopper, for example, a man whose word is good in a hoss trade, but when he tells about his bear fights he puts your confidence in him to an awful strain. I don't say that Ari would tell lies, but he puts a whole lot of fancy frills on his stories and fixes 'em up gorgeous. I reckon I've run across most as many bears as anybody, but I never had no such adventures as I read about.'" |
