Show Baldwin- RD 1214 Q If you run on a rock won't it? A Takes a cap to explode dynamite. THE SPECIAL MASTER: I don't know; in Massachusetts I was in a street when an automobile ran into an express wagon with dynamite, and was not much left of that street there. MR. FARNSWORTH: You don't seriously mean to say that you have to have a cap to explode dynamite, do you? THE SPECIAL MASTER: I will take judicial notice of the fact some kinds of dynamite explode, certainly, without a cap. MR. BLACKMAR: I think it is necessary, in order to explode dynamite, that you either have a cap or you have a very hard concussion. THE SPECIAL MASTER: Yes. ( Discussion off the record.) MR. FARNSWORTH: I would like to ask the witness another question on the record. BY MR. FARNSWORTH: Q Was the channel completely frozen over when these boats came up with that dynamite? A Yes. Q Clear across the river, all clogged clear across, was it? A This being a narrow place in the river there. THE SPECIAL MASTER: Is that all. 3186 |
