 it to Dennis's house that night was his
 first visit there. He had no idea of
 going there until Vandemark asked
 him to go. He was familfar with the l Waterville road. Could not recall the
 date of the strike; thought it was some l time in January. Could not say
 where he was on the night of January 31. There was nothing occurring that evening to attract his attention. There l was riot here. He saw a part of 1t. 1 Could not say that 1t took place on the
 last Saturday of January, but knew it 1 took place on Saturday evening. That
