Lum and Abner – Lum Takes the Witness Stand. 470225

Lum and Abner in a Publicity Photo. 5x6. In this black and white publicity photo, two men, Lum and Abner, are posing together in a studio. They are dressed in suits and ties, with Abner on the left wearing a hat and holding a cane, while Lum on the right has his hands in his pockets. They are smiling at the camera with a friendly and approachable demeanor, creating a sense of warmth and familiarity. The photo has a vintage feel, reflecting the era in which they were popular radio personalities.

Lum is back on the witness stand, and shares with Abner about his nervousness. It could also be crucial to his charge of bribing Cedric as well.

The trick is try to regain ground in convincing the judge and jury about how honest Lum is. Abner is doubtful, and confused about Lum being a horse trader. With their lawyer on hand, they review a few notes on the case.

The judge calls Lum to the stand, and the questioning goes well enough. Will Lum get his point across about being honest? How will Lum hold up when he is cross examined?

Note: in the cross examination, Lum admits his real name, Columbus.
