There is quite a bit in that report that, if we want to cross examine very fully on, if they brought out that matter on direct examination. So we want to leave the situation in the way to save the most time, without being in any way bound by any of the statements that may appear in there that are objectionable. I am willing to meet counsel almost any way on it in the interest of saving time. There are other reports of a similar character. Mr. Blackmar: Well, suppoe we let the report go in, with the understanding that, if it later appears, after you have examined it, that there are matters which are objectionable, you can make your objection to them and we will discuss that then. Mr. Farnsworth: Well, in connection with that suggestion, you consent that such objections as are made to these reports of Mr. Hoyt may be made in general form, and that we will not have to call attention to the particular portions of the reports to which we object; because that would take a tremendous amount of time. I think it would be almost as simple to bring out from this witness any facts you want to bring out as it 2101 |
