$20,000 and $30,000 respectively, would be altered to the order $5,000, 
$10,000, $20,000, $25,000 and $30,000 respectively, and the harmon- 
ization would be that the differences between the statements were due 
to successive expenditures upon the buildings. 
Case 8.—B’s (second and fourth) statements that he had not read 
all the Bible would be grouped before his (first, third and fifth) state- 
ments that he had read all the Bible; and the harmonization would 
be that in the interval between the two groups of statements as thus 
arranged, he had completed the reading of the Bible. 
Case 18.—The harmonization would be that B’s statement that he 
had never been tagged preceded his statement that he had a tag, and 
in the interval between the statements he purchased a tag. 
Case 19.—The harmonization would be that B’s statement that 
he was never married preceded his statement that C was his wife, and 
that in the interval between the statements he was married to C. 
Case 21.—The harmonization would be that B’s statement to D 
that he had not seen the physician M, preceded B’s statement to C that 
he had seen M, and that in the interval between the two statements 
B saw M. 
The only effect of a test with an unfixed, as opposed to a fixed, 
sequence of statements is, therefore, that under the superior test with 
a fixed sequence a harmonization seemed impossible in 12 of the 26 
cases and in the remaining 14 cases the most reasonable harmonization 
was In every instance contrary to the fact, while under the inferior test 
with an unfixed sequence a harmonization seemed impossible in 7 of 
the 26 cases and in the remaining 19 cases the most reasonable har- 
monization was in every instance contrary to the facts. 
Unless the contrary be specifically stated, all subsequent references 
to the test of harmonization applied to the 26 cases in this section 
will be to the superior test with fixed sequence, and not to the inferior 
test with unfixed sequence of statements.
