he experts cannot tell."

"No, that is incorrect. The analysts testified that she could tell
forgeries."

"She also testified that I had written these 'suspect' evaluations but
admitted that she had not authenticated the standards used nor insisted
on original standards.

"As far as believing that tampering could be done, I remind you that
one of these 'suspect' documents was tampered with and Lyle admitted
doing it."

"What!" blurted Henry, "what...."

"This one here." The accused held up the evaluation that had a three
word printed comment on the course. Stapled to it was a note reading,
'Lyle, have a happy Christmas, Diana'.

"This was given the document examiners as 'suspect' evaluation #6, yet
clearly Lyle knew that he had prejudiced it by putting six additional
words on it that he knew I had written. This is original writing on
Christmas paper and not part of this evaluation, yet from the report
the examiners made, it was treated as part of a 'suspect' document."

Henry quickly told Janet that she could stop taking notes while the
committee huddled off the record. Feverishly, he opened the analyst
report and scanned the relevant paragraph. After a few moments, Henry
and Frank Anuse exchanged glances. Anuse nodded and Henry told Janet
they were back on record. Immediately, Anuse sarcastically claimed
that he didn't under stand what all the fuss was about. He could see
no tampering.

Trenchant explained again. "It is obvious. A known standard is
affixed to an unknown document. It is made a part of that unknown
document."

Anuse seemed to deliberately misunderstand. He continued this over and
over, taking different tacks but essentially he was bent on wearing
Diana down.

Careful, thought Henry. A court would say Anuse was badgering the
witness. Henry knew this was not proper questioning, it was arguing,
but he let it continue.

"Oh," Anuse would say in an annoying, baiting way, "it was not altered
since Lyle had stapled it there so it wouldn't get lost." and "I don't
understand where you have a problem with this."

After several minutes of this, he dismissed the whole complaint.
Scathingly, he said that it didn't matter since the whole document had
been written by Trenchant anyway. The document analyst had said so.

"Yes they had," Diana agreed. "Despite the fact that there were three
PRINTED words on the SmurFF. The WRITING they identified was only on
the slip of paper that Ly
