The State may ask if a witness is a man of bad moral character.
MACAY, J., after argument:
The Attorney-General may ask the question concerning a witness for the defendants, whether he is a man of bad moral character. He is not confined to the question whether the witness be a man of veracity, or of veracity when (301) upon oath.
So the question was asked as to his moral character.
