Show 4877 Taylor- RC 2890 Q Did that lumber reach Moab in any other way than by the river? A I think so; I think there was some hauling, probably. Q How many times do you have any recollecting of seeing lumber hauled in overland? A I don't know. Q It is about the same as your recollection with reference to rafts, I guess? A I think so, yes. Q I giving your answer as to general use, Mr. Taylor, didn't you have in mind a matter of common knowledge with respect to the rafting of that lumber? A Oh, yes. MR. BLACKMAR: I object to that as calling for a conclusion of the witness. Seems to me common knowledge is purely hearsay in a case of this kind. THE SPECIAL MASTER: I think it is; if that is the so far as to render his statement merely what he has heard. MR. FARNSWORTH: I take it the answer may stand, your Honor. That is all. |
