Bailey said that he estimated the excess of water at from Is to 20 per cent. In response to a question by Attorney c. L. Tor rey counsel for Mir. Chase, Dr. Bailey said that he could not remember der initely what the analysis of ten other samples of milk taken at MT. Chase's place on August Sth showed.
 Deputy Commissioner Thomas Holt, who was later called to the witness stand, said in response to MT. Tor reys questions that other samples or milk taken at MT. Chase's were found in some cases to be above standard and in other cases below standard, but none showed evidence of having had water added.
