TESTIMONY OF THOMAS C DOEEMUS, JE. 169 



take this one that stood on the lactometer at 78? A. No. 3, I 

 believe ; the bottle is sealed. 



Q. What cow did it come from ? A. They call it the black cow ; 

 this is a milk from a cow that stood at 78 at that time. 



(The witness proceeded to test the milk with the lactometer and 

 thermometer.) 



WITNESS Stands at 82. 



Q. What is the temperature ? A. 56. 



Q. Let me ask, are you in the habit of reading the thermom- 

 eter out of the milk ? A. I only lifted it up then. 



Q. Is that the way you make your experiments, reading ther- 

 mometer with the bulb of the lactometer out of the milk ? A. I 

 did not do so before in these cases. 



Q. Take these two instruments and test the temperature and 

 the gravity ? A. It stands at 57, the temperature by Dr. Chand- 

 ler's instrument. 



Q. Take that lactometer ? (another lactometer handed to the 

 witness.) A. This is a little short of 82 ; 81 and three quarters. 



Q. Did you see the cow Hetty Ann there ? A. I do not remem- 

 ber it by that name. 



Q. Won't you look at your memorandum ? A. I believe not ; 

 that is I could not state positively ; I only took the names of those 

 cows from which I took the samples of milk.

 not. 



Q. Is Greenville near this place ? A. I do not know.

 sir. 



Q. Was there any water in the pail before it was put in ? A. 

 There was not. 



Q. You are sure of that? A. Yes, sir. 



Q. Did you see that there was any water about the person of the 

 milkman so that it could go in ? A. No, sir. 



Q. Did you see whether or not he had anything in his sleeves ? 

 A. I saw nothing in his sleeves. 



Q. Did you milk the cow yourself? A. I did not. 



Q. You never saw this cow milked but once ? A. That is all.
