Why he could not tell all he knew about the business without suggestion from counsel, does not appear, and the only cross-question not allowed because leading, shown by the abstract, is, \u201cWhen Mr. Irvine, the plaintiff, would give you an order to buy or sell 10,000 bushels of grain, you would sell it to him or buy it for him, would you?\u201d Ho defense of such a question can be made.\nEven with an impartial witness, under cross-examination, the words can not be put into the mouth of the witness to echo back again. 2 Taylor, Ev., 1223; 2 Ph., Ev., C. & H. notes, 910, side p.
