John Wood gives deposition against William Sommers alleging that when he heard that Sommers had retracted his claim of possession, he questioned Sommers about whether he remembered Wood visiting him and what Wood had done at that time. Sommers said he did remember, and that Wood had nipped his finger with his thumbnail. Wood called him on the lie, and Sommers revised his story: Wood did not nip his finger, he bent the finger to see if Sommers had any feeling in the hand. Wood called this a lie as well, and Sommers replied that he could not in fact remember what Wood had done.(Image 16-17)
