For example, when the
question turns on symptoms, which may point either
to poisoning or internal disease, there is no third
course left open and consequently each party sticks
to his statement. At times the question turns on
the nature of the fact, whether, for instance, death
was due to poisoning or internal disease, and arguments are introduced which are drawn from the
circumstances alone without any reference to the
person concerned.
