Now, did you make an examination as to those matters before you expressed that conclusion in the as report? A Well, I have been all over that country. Q Just answer the question. Did you make and examination with respect to that subject- matter be fore you expressed that conclusion that I have just read to you? A Not specifically for that purpose.

Q Well, let us direct our attention to this spot ( indicating) where the principal town is alocated, is it not, on the Green River in that part of the State.
