! asked Mr.. Patterson.
Yes, sir" said the witness
Mr.. Patterson read a portion of an
| other extract read by Mr.. Hughes, in
| which the witness declared that the

Upon what ground did you make the
statement that the Rarushad no extra
| lateral rights?" asked Mr.. Patterson.
Il object" said Mr.. Hughes.
eve have a right to have the witness
sustain his testimony, l think, your
honor" said Mr.. Patterson.
The objection is overruled, go on"
said the court
Judge Knowles said that the Rarus
had no eXtralateral rights because it
had no end lines" said the witness.
Then that is why you made that
Statements" said Mr.. Patterson.
A lot more evidence given at the
Michael Dewitt trial by the witness was
read, in which he mentioned the fiat
ore body and the back vein between
the faults. He spoke of other ore
bodies, and in all instances Mr.. Pat
terson required him to designate them.
In this evidence the witness also said
that the ore bodies east of the faults
We're cut off by the crushed area be-
tween the faults.
You said here that the veins east of
the fault retained their original posi-
ton after the development. What have
you to say about this?' asked Mr.. Pat
terson.
Il said that. upon the theory that
the east section of ground had remain
ed stationary said the witness.
Mr.. Patterson read testimony in
which the witness said that the direc-
ton and extent of the displacement was
entirely a matter of speculation: also
cut off by the faults. Other testimony.
in which he said that, judging from the
position of certain porphyry bodies, the
throw might have been $50 or 100 feet
to the north, was read.
What was the nature of the dis
placement that you referred to them"
asked Mr.. Patterson.
ITO the horizontal displacement"
said the witness.
Mr. Patterson read the sta tement of
the witness that the ground between
the faults had gone up, and that it
would always go up under the seologi-
cal conditions present at the time of the
displacement.
Did you have any data then upon
WHICH 10 utltiulnc whether lIdl
ground had gone up or not, or how
much?" asked Mr.. Patterson.
81 did not" said the witness.
Did you intend to give any definite
distance it had gone up?"
II did not. No, sir
Have you an opinion at this time,
based upon data developed since, that
the horizontal displacement was 200
feet?"
Il have. 7 think it was approx
mately 200 feet
Can you demonstrate to the court
that you have undergone an honest
change of opinion by showing the dis
closure of bodies of porphyry in the
ground?" said Mr.. Patterson.
II object. We did not examine the
witness about the porphyry bodies =
said Mr.. Hughes.
II think it is perfectly proper that we
be allowed to have this matter explain
ed by the witness" said Mr.. Patterson.
The court was Of the opinion that 1t
was an unfortunate thing that the
Michael Dewitt testimony had ever been
allowed to go in at all. His honor said
that the matter in question had not
been the subject of cross-examination.
and that he did not think it proper to
allow the witness to do as Mr.. Patter-
son directed. He sustained the objec-
ton.
