Q. How do you know? 



A. Because Mr. Prank Parker has charge of that, and has been 

 there two or three times over that lot; it is in his district. 



Q. And all you know is that Parker has reported no trespasses? 



A. Yes, sir; I won't say he hasn't; there has been three or four 

 small trespasses reported in the last two or three months, and I won't 

 say they are not there. 



Q. If such trespasses exist there, large trespasses, you'don't know 

 anything about it? 



A. No, there is no chance for any such thing. 



Q. I guess that is all. *
