RE CROSS EXAMINATION BY MR. PARK. |
|
|
Q |
What time was it when you left home that morning? |
A |
Well it must have been eight, seven or eight o’clock, maybe nine o’clock. |
|
|
Q |
In the morning? |
A |
Yes, sir. |
|
|
Q |
And the only way you have of fixing the time is the fact that you ate dinner you supposed at noon? |
A |
Yes, sir. Well I had stopped to the house just before that and they were eating dinner so I turned out my team, and I and my little boy, we stopped and ate our lunch on the road. We generally stop and feed by the side of the road. |
|
|
Q |
You didn’t have any watch with you, you say? |
A |
No, sir. |
|
|
Q |
And you didn’t look at any clocks that day? |
A |
No, sir, I didn’t. |
|
|
Q |
Then when you say it was two, or three or four o’clock, it is your best judgment? |
A |
Yes, sir, that is my best judgment of the time. |
|
|
Q |
Do you always stop exactly at noon to feed, or eat your lunch? |
A |
As near as I can. |
|
