animation with respect to the purifying
boxes used in the summer Of i9O'. he
was made TO give a detailed account
concerning the construction Of the boxes
and the manner in which they were
operated. The materials used in the
purifying process, he declared, were
oxide of iron and lime and that during
the summer OF 1907 they were changed
practically every day. 1t was in this
connection that the reason for the dis
placement of four Of the purifiers was
disclosed in the cross examination OF
the witness.
The witness denied that, the four puri-
f1crS in operation in the summer OF 1906
were not sufficient to handle the amount
Of gas being manufactured at that time
He declared that the reason for dis
mautling four of the eigh- purifiers was
TO arrange for taking care of Increased
production in the future, not that the
production at -hat time was not being
taken care of
THE eight purifiers were not Suffi-
Cieut?' asked Attorney stevens.
We wOTld not have expended money
10 replace them if we had thought they
Isected production"
When ycu dismantled four Of these
boxes TO replace them, what substitute
did you arrange for?'
We arranged for no substitute. We
did YOU arrange fOr?'
why could you not arrange for me2'
1t was too big a proposition. The best
thing we could do was TO contract for
the completion of the repair work by
October -. We allowed the dismantlins
Of nothing until about June Is, when the
consumption of gas diminished.

Attorney r. Ross Perry, of counsel fo'
the defendant companies. objected to
several Of the questions put by A.
torney Stevens with respect - the
special croSs-eXamination regarding the
diSmantling OF four OF the puriE eTs.
Prosecutor stevens asserted tl2t he
was attempting TO show by the witness
that the company had not only not used
ordinary care, but had been grossly
negligent in not making temporary pro
vision for the four purifiers whicn wer-
dismantled.
