how much milk that cow gave that morning ? A. I think I have 

 answered that in my last answer. 



Q. I ask you yes or no if you do not remember saying that? A. 

 I think you asked the question if I knew the quantity of milk that 

 she gave. 



Q. Very well, take it in that way ; what do you say to that ? A. 

 If I remember correctly, I answered I did not measure it. 



Q. Did you not say you did not know how much she gave ? A. 

 I do not remember making that answer ; I think my answer was I 

 didn't measure it. 



Q. Do you know now how much she gave at that time ? A. I 

 make the same answer ; I did not measure it. 



Q. I ask you do you know how much milk she gave at the time 

 you took the sample ? A. I have just answered that ; I did not 

 measure the sample. 



Q. How long have you been in the laboratory ? A. I assisted 

 my father for probably the last ten years in cases where life and 

 death have been involved poison cases. 



Q. You are accustomed to nice measurements ? A. I do not pro- 

 fess to be a chemist.

 for the last ten years? A. I have assisted him in poison cases for 

 the last ten years. 



Q. Have you assisted in mixing and measuring liquids for the 

 purpose of experiment for the last ten years ? A. When you speak 

 of measuring, do you mean for very exact analysis ? 



Q. If you do not understand the question you will say so ; what 

 do you say, have you ? A. It depends upon what you call measure- 

 ment; some measurements are very exact; not for the last ten 

 years in a very exact manner. 



Q. Have you been assisting your father in investigations in the 

 laboratory in making analyses and assays, and in measuring liquids
