Show Spencer- C 710 A Yes sir. Q Were you following a road from that point on? A Followed Indian trails most of the time. Q Just answer whether you were following a road or not. A Not sir. THE SPECIAL MASTER: Do you make a distinction between an Indian trail and a road? MR. FARNWORTH: Yes. THE SPECIAL MASTER: What is the distinction in that kind of country? MR. FARNSWORTH: Did you want me to ask the witness? THE SPECIAL MASTER: Yes. BY MR. FARNSWORTH: Q Mr. Spencer, do you refer to an Indian trail as a road? A No sir. Q Just state for the record what the difference is. A Where Indians has got to work at a place to go through horseback, is all. Q A road is a place where a wagon has traveled, isn't it? A Where they have a wagon road, yes. Q When you speak of a road, does it imply the presence of a couple of ruts over which a vehicle has traveled? A Naturally I would speak of a road that you can go over right with a wagon, that has been traveled over once in a while. If just a wagon track, I wouldn't call it a road. 2678 |
