172 TESTIMONY OF THOMAS C. DOBEMUS, JR. 



Q. How long have you been acquainted with the apparent size of 

 a pint bottle ; ten years ? A. I should judge so. 



Q. Did you have a pint bottle with you on that occasion to take 

 the milk of that cow as a sample ? A. I had bottles of about a pint, 

 I suppose. 



Q. Was there any of that milk left when you took that milk, that 

 you saw, of the black cow ? A. I believe my brother has got the 

 book that I refer to, with my notes in it ; if you will allow me to 

 have that. 



Q. Did you take all the milk in the bottle, of that cow, which 

 you had at that time ? A. I did. 



Q. It all went into that bottle ? A. It did. 



Q. Would that bottle hold more than a pint? A. I think if 

 anything probably a little more. 



Q. Would it hold a pint and a half ? A. I think not. 



Q. Did not you know how much that bottle held when you were 

 here on Friday? A. I did, sir. 



Q. Do you know the difference between the milk of cows and 

 strippers so called ? 



(Objected to ; objection overruled.) 



A. I do not know as I could give a definition. 



Q. Do you know there is a difference ? A. I naturally suppose 

 there would be, there must be. 



Q. Did you know that on Friday ? A. I knew as much about 

 it then as I do now. 



Q. Did you state here that that was a healthy cow, the black 

 cow ? A. As far as I could judge. 



Q. In a normal condition, did you state that? A. I believe 

 you asked me the question whether the cow was a healthy cow and 

 I said she looked like a healthy cow, if I remember rightly ; I do 

 not profess to be a veterinary surgeon or anything of that kind. 



Q. Was she a healthy cow as far as you could judge ? A. She was. 



Q. Was her milk the milk of a healthy cow? A. It seemed to 

 me so. 



Q. Were you able to strain it without breaking up the curds in 

 it ? A. The milk was poured into the strainer and it ran through. 



Q. Did it all run through ? A. All except the dirt that would 

 naturally collect in the ordinary milk.
