Cross-examination as to previous statements in writing .—A witness may be cross-examined
as to previous statements made by him in writing or reduced into writing, and relevant to matters in
question, without such writing being shown to him, or being proved; but, if it is intended to contradict
him by the writing, his attention must, before the writing can be proved, be called to those parts of it
which are to be used for the purpose of contradicting him.
