Show 5020 Johnson- D 3033 I said wasn't lawyers enough in the world to make me believe that was a cat. It was a rat. MR. BLACKMAR: Mr. La Rue is an engineer, he is not a lawyer. I think that is all. CROSS EXAMINTION BY MR. FARNSWORTH: Q How old were you at the time of this flood? A I was born in 1876. In 1884 -- that is approximately -- I was so young -- approximately 1884. That would make me six years old. Q You were born in 1878? A 1876. Q Make you eight years old? A Yes sir. Q You are sure you didn't get your trees mixed when you were showing Mr. La Rue where the water came? A No. We had a garden there; there was a garden surrounded this tree, an old land mark, an old tree, and I marked it, took an axe and cut a notch in the tree where the water came. That is as near as I could recollect, years later, where the water came. |
