"RES GESTAE" CONFUSES.

Frequent Mention in Sharp Trial
Causes Inquiry by Unlearned.

There's a name, the frequent mention of which in the Sharp trial is likely to confuse the lay mind. It came to court the first day and has been more or less in evidence since then.

"Who is this 'Res Gestae' I hear the lawyers talking about so much?" inquired a woman on the first day of the trial. And her question was a natural one, for our old friend Res Gestae has been on every legal tongue in the court room a dozen times an hour.

No, it isn't a man. It's a legal expression, crystallized into an idiom of all tongues as only Latin can. Literally translated into English, it means "things carried on." In slang it would be expressed as "the doin's."
