Show 6638 Howland- C 4628 Q When? A October, this last trial they had here. Q You don't know why they didn't call you? A No sir. Q Who prepared this, -- you or Mr. Ryan? A I guess Mr. Ryan; he would ask me questions. Q Did he write this as he asked you questions, or did he talked with you, then write it and bring it to you and ask you to sign it? A I think he was right there at the river and asked me the questions. Q Did he have a typewriter with him when he was talking to you, hammering it out as he talked to you? A There was one of them there had a typewriter; I don't know whether it was Mr. Ryan or not. Q Did Mr. Ryan ask you to tell him about the conditions on the river? A Darned if I remember. He asked me, like you have, about the trip, the trips down the river; I told him my ex-periences. Q Did you tell him substantially the same that you have told the court today? A I aimed to, yes sir, about the same thing. |
