Show Hyde- C 643 weren't you? A Part of it I was; most of the time I was not in the room. Q Were you here while Mr. Rumen Jones was testifying? A No, I wasn't. Q Didn't hear his testimony? A No, I didn't. Q You know he is an old- timer down there? A I am very well acquainted with him; his wife is my wife's sister. Q You know John Adams? A I do; his wife is my wife's sister. Q Everybody is related down there? A They are pretty much; there is not many of them. Q So far as you are aware, those men had the same opportunities for seeing the river that you had? A Yes sir, they did. Q Now, when you first arrives there I believe you stated that the banks of the San Juan were well- defined? A Yes, they were. Q Fringed by trees and willows? A Yes sir. Q And there was a definite, readily discernible channel? A Yes sir, there was. Q The condition between Bluff and Chinle creek has very materially changed since you first arrived there? A On the river bed, you would never recognize it. 2611 |
