Rebuttal , etc. —Here one should anticipate what de¬ 
fenses may he set up and provide in advance for meeting 
them. The defendant will usually try to introduce 
testimony contradicting that of the prosecution; but he 
may put in evidence unexpected facts tending to explain 
away or otherwise refute the evidence of the prosecution. 
The cross-examination offers the first opportunity of 
nullifying such evidence; if this can not be accomplished 
at this point, the prosecution may need new testimony to 
impeach the credit of the defendant’s witnesses. 
Appendix. —A list of the witnesses, with brief notation 
of the exact facts to which each will testify, together with 
all documentary evidence and a list of exhibits, should be 
collected in an appendix, each separate item being 
designated by letter, as, for example, “Exhibit A.” At 
the appropriate points in the narrative record these 
documents, etc., should be referred to only by exhibit 
designation. This helps both in completeness and in 
keeping the narrative clear. 
Outline. —A good outline on which to get material 
together is the following: 
1. The offense—what, where, when, how, by whom, 
why. 
2. Information. 
(a) Rumors. 
( b ) Clues. 
3. Main evidence—the facts, in order, with names of 
witnesses who will testify to them, as shown in detail in 
appendix at end of report. 
4. Evidence available for rebuttal or to meet possible 
surprise defenses. 
5. Appendix—as above. 
USE OF MAPS. 
The trespass map. —The trespass map must show com¬ 
pletely the facts of trespass and damage suffered. It 
should include, therefore, land section, township, and 
range; boundaries between national forest and other lands; 
drainage; roads; houses and culture bearing on the case;
