depot before starting had a converse
ton with Fred c. Smith, general pass

witness was lighting the train. Albert
Waterhouse, Harry H. Simpson and w.

conduct of McCarty before he was

Clifton Tracy, conductor, gave evil
dence much the same as that of plain
tiff. McCarty's shoes were muddy.
Witness could not turn the seat over
because another passenger sat opposite
plaintiff. When he first spoke to plain
tiff he told him three times to take his
feet off the seat, also warned him If
he did not behave properly he would be
put off at Moanalua. When he re-
turned from collecting tickets from
other passengers he again told Nc
Carly to take his feet off the seat.
McCarty refused and he put him off
at Moanalua. Plaintiff had a first
class ticket. Witness did not use vic,
lence Plaintiff did not resist but wit
ness had a hand on his shoulder, brac-
ing him somewhat as he walked un-
steadily. Both of them went upon the
station platform clear of the train.

aboard the train. There was a lady in
the car
Asked If plaintiff used foul language
to him, Tracy said he had an impress

remember the words. This was
on cross-examination and Mr. Gear OBJ
jected to the impression as evidence.
but the court ruled the answer was re-
sponsive to the question.
Mr. Robertson said defendant had
one more witness, Fred. c. Smith, who
was out of town. Judge De Bolt re-
ferred to his reminder in the morning
that the term was nearly closed and
time should not be wasted. To which
Mr.. Robertson replied that the defend
ant was taken by surprise by the rest
ing of plaintiff on his own unsupported
evidence.
Mr.. Gear said the rebuttal would not
take long.
