member OF the congregation and assists
materially in supporting the church. Ac-
cording to the testimony Mrs. Brockman

Mrs. Brockman, Jr., left the house, saying
she would not remain in any house where

was required here. 1t was q quarter
TO nine yesterday morning when
was told this and informed Mr.

me. 1 am competent to make
these estimates off hand. l have a

These meme. were filed.
when 1 made this statement
was In Sands office and in Yoakum.
1t is copy OF what l sent
Mr.. Sands. made this out

have the original, he has the copy,
which is more complete. There are
ABOUT SO or 90 engines working for the

ing everything. Or these there are
8 switch engines. I make out that
there are 60 engines in the service. OF
these, q do the largest amount OF
hauling. Six of these haul the mini.
mum and 4 haul the medium
work. The other 20 are used
in the passenger service. The
grade between Muldoon and Affair is
l per cent hill top or maximum grade.
From Affair to Houston there may be
2 per cent grade. This is not from
my own knowledge. I made part of
this estimate in Mr.. Sands office. /
made one half of it out of Mr.. Sands
office. / made the calculation as to
the regular easy train over the road

for one train. 1t was not for any par.
ticular train but for any train, on q
level road on the different grades. I
figured on weight of car and all. If
the grade is level you can carry more
than on q per cent grade. In my
figures on engineers and firemen 1 es.
timated 100 miles as days work.
This would be day and half work,
according to what an engineer is paid.
They may run it in four hours or
twenty. After ten hours work he lie
paid more and by the hour.
In my estimate the engineer
would ne paid So 2S TOR the trip, and
is paid the same coming back. En-.
gineers are paid for days work at
10 hours. An engineers pay Is 4
cents per mile. Firemen 81 IL per
cent of thai: II an engineer on the
road works 10 hours he has one days
pay. If he works 5 hours more he
receives pay for another day. 1 made
no allowance for wrecks or lost time.
II you want to estimate the cost of
regular time card train you must go
to the books of the company.
I don't admit lost time. The train
would run II or IL miles per hour, or
10 hours per day.
The distance between Affair and
Muldoon would be 90S 10 miles.
The court then took recess until

likely that he wrote the

a mistake in writing the date. One Of

the word bearer marked out and the
word order substituted in its place.
