Show 7070 Baldwin- D 5051 what other source could Mr. Virgil Baldwin or Mr. Clark have given that testimony, other than pure memory, unless they used this book? I will admit it is not absolute evidence, but it would seem to me a pretty natural conclusion to draw. MR. BLACKMAR: Now, what is before the court? THE SPECIAL MASTER: The question before the court? Is whether Mr. Farnsworth can proceed to present this docu-ment to the witness and ask him, using this document to re-fresh his memory, whether these trips were made on the dates set forth in that document. MR. BLACKMAR: The ruling on that is that the witness can? THE SPECAIL MASTER: Yes sir. MR. BLACKMAR: To which except. Now what is before the court? THE SPECIAL MASTER: Now you are going to compel Mr. Farnsworth to go through this document; it will take some time. MR. BLACKMAR: I don't think that is necessary. THE SPECIAL MASTER: I suppose Mr. Farnsworth can ask the one lump question, whether, using that document his memory is so far refreshed that he can state that those trips were taken by the barge on those particular dates. |
