We deal briefly with Twyman’s contention that the trial judge abused his discretion in refusing to permit rebuttal testimony by one proposed witness (Abraham) and in restricting the rebuttal testimony of another (Ingraham). Twyman proffered the testimony, particularly of Abraham, to rebut a denial by Johnson’s earlier attorney, Kane, that in a telephone conversation with Abraham (then Twyman’s counsel) Kane had threatened that Johnson would raise the rent “and put Ms. Twyman out on the street.” The point was important, Twyman asserts, to establish her claim of abuse of process in the form of Johnson’s suits for possession filed thereafter.
