A

Well I never measured it, it must be 300 or 350 feet.

 

 

Q

Now describe the build of the man.

A

Well this man I thought was pretty broad shouldered, he had pretty fair shoulders on him, a man between 5 feet 8 and 10 inches tall.  I thought he was a little stooped.

 

 

Q

Do you think you could recognize the man again if you should see him?

A

I would not want to positively recognize the man.  I think I could a week afterwards or the next morning.

 

 

Q

But you don’t think you could recognize him now?

A

No, I wouldn’t want to positively recognize the man.

 

 

Q

What can you say as to whether the respondent Mr. Shimmel here resembles the man that you saw that night in general appearance as to build?

A

Well his height would fit the man pretty well.

 

 

Q

You say his height would fit him pretty well?

A

Yes, sir, his height.

 

 

Q

How about the width of him?

A

I thought this man was slightly heavier.

 

 

Q

Well he might have had more clothes on for that matter. That is all.
