2 .
Human testimony can seldom acquire the certainty of demonstration .
Witnesses not unfrequently are mistaken or wish to deceive ;
the most that can be expected is that moral certainty which arises from analogy .
The credibility which is attached to such testimony ,
arises .
from the double presumption that the witnesses have good sense and intelligence ,
and that they are not mistaken nor deceived ;
they are further presumed to have probity ,
and that they do not wish to deceive .
3 .
To gain credibility ,
we must be assured ,
first ,
that the witness has not been mistaken nor deceived .
To be assured as far as possible on this subject ,
it is proper to consider the nature and quality of the facts proved ;
the quality and person of the witness ;
the testimony in itself ;
and to compare it with the depositions of other witnesses on the subject ,
and with known facts .
Secondly ,
we must be satisfied that he does not wish to deceive :
there are strong assurances of this ,
when the witness is under oath ,
is a man of integrity ,
and disinterested .
