Barkley testified that he was an old fireman, having had about nine years active service in this work He said in substance that with his experience in handling horses with the spirit usually attributed to fire horses he thought there could be no control over such cir eumstances. and that he thought the ae edent unavoidable. MT Barkey was questioned as to the system commonly used in exercising fire horses. and whether or not they were ever gaited faster than walk or fox trot. He said they were not as a usual thing. Ii was pointed out that the local horses receive strenuous exer- else. enjoying part of their daily exer- else the liberty of a full gallop along the streets and avenues. It is said complaints have been made to the officials of this procedure for the reason that it appears dangerous to the welfare of the people and the children who are always on the streets. However. this form of exercise is still maintained.
