Percy point ed oIt that this method of taking testi- mony would not be tolerated in any court ip the country and was in direct conflict with all common law principles. The ex- aininei and attorneys smilingly approved the statement by MT. Percy that any question, however immaterial from lega viewpoint, might be entered into the rec ords at the hearing.
 Mir Smith testified in answer to iIT Percy's questioning that the tracks of the Birmingham Southern at Ensley and al Corey were nearer the shipping public and more convenient than any other line there He also testified that at Corey the Louis vile and Nashville did not have any per
 nancnt agency, but only maintained what vas called a sub-agency. The fact was also developed that the depot of the Bir- Iningham Southern was the only one 4 Corey at this time. The case will perhaps be concluded today.
