TESTIMONY OF HENRY A. MOTT, JR. 137 



Q. Have you made large researches concerning the milk of 

 woman ? A. I have. 



The COURT You need not answer that ; I exclude that. 



COUNSEL I except. 



Q. Now, Doctor Mott, how many times have you analyzed milk 

 which you knew to be pure? A. I have analyzed milk that I have 

 known to be pure you mean cow's milk ? 



Q. I refer now only to cov/'s milk, not to negro women ? A. I 

 have made six analyses of milk that I knew to be pure. 



Q. How did you know it to be pure ? A. My assistant stood by 

 and saw the cows milked and brought me the milk. 



Q. Did you see it milked ? A. My assistant, whom I place per- 

 fect confidence in, saw it milked. 



Q. Did you see it milked ? A. I only saw it through the con- 

 fidence I place in my assistant. 



Q. Were you present when the cow was milked ? A. No, sir. 



Q. That is what you call knowledge of the purity of milk given 

 you by your assistant ? A. Sufficient to any sensible person, I 

 think. 



Q. Have you analyzed any milk concerning the purity of which 

 you had any greater or further knowledge than the information 

 given you by your assistant ? A. I have never analyzed any milk 

 that I have stood by and seen taken from the animal. 



Q. Could you tell from the statement of your assistant that the 

 cows from which this milk had come were healthy ? A. My results 

 would speak for themselves. 



Q. How do they speak for themselves ? A. If I had found one 

 specimen of the specific gravity less than 1.029, 1 would safely con- 

 clude that the milk was abnormal. 



Q. How often have you tested cow's milk, which you knew to be 

 pure cow's milk, with the lactometer ? A. Five times which I knew 

 to be pure and at least 20 to 25 milk which I had not sufficient 

 evidence to be pure. 



Q. How did you know those five specimens to be pure ? A. My 

 assistant obtained them for me and stood by and saw the cows 

 milked. 



Q. That is the only knowledge you have on the subject ? A. Yes, 

 sir ; that is all I required.
