No, sir, no receipt. 28 Q. Do you know how long it remained on the platform? 29 A. I wouldn't even know. 30 Q. Did you see any one take it off the platform? A. Yes. There were men working there at the time. 31 Q. You saw them take it off the platform? 32 A. That is right. 33 Q. Into the sorting room? 34 A. That is right. 35 Q. Did you ever see the defendant around the platform? 36 A. No, I never did. 37 Edward Radigan, the other driver, testified: 38 By Mr. Kossman: 39 Q. Did you get a receipt for the merchandise you say you placed on the platform? 40 A. No, sir. 41 Q. How long did it remain on the platform? 42 A. Well, as soon as I put it on the platform it was sorted out — sorted for its destination. 43 Q. Did they take it off the platform and put it in the sorting room? 44 A. They sort it down the roller into these various trailers. 45 Q. Is that in back of the platform or the platform? 46 A. Yes, sir. 47 Q. Is that the sorting room — what they call the sorting room? 48 A. Where I put it that is the sorting section. There is a sorter stands there and he marks it. 49 Q. You saw the sorter take it and sort it? 50 A. Yes, sir. 51 Q. This particular package? 52 A. Yes, sir. 53 Q. Did you see where they put that package after they sorted it there? 54 A. No, sir. 55 Q. But where they sort it is off the platform, is that correct? 56 A. Well, where they sort it it is right on the platform. 57 Q. Don't they have a sorting room? 58 A. No. They have monevators. They go along on rollers. 59 Q. This was put on the roller? 60 A. Yes, sir. 61 Q. Where did it roll to? 62 A. Well, it is all according to where it was going, and it is marked so by numbers. 63 Q. This was going to West Virginia, is that correct? 64 A. Yes, sir. 65 Q. Where did it roll to? 66 A. So far as I was concerned, it went down the platform. 67 Q. Yes. But where does the roller end; where does it roll to? 68 A. There is various trailers pulled into the platform that is marked for certain railroads such as the Lackawanna, the Pennsylvania, and it is sorted down a roller and shoved into these trailers and stacked and moved to various terminals, wherever it was destined to go. I don't know just what point this would go on. 69 Q. But you saw it go on the rollers? 70 A. That is correct. 71 Q. You don't get a receipt when you deliver the merchandise, is that correct? 72 A. No, sir. I just put the freight on the platform. 73 Q. Are you familiar with the terminal at 11th Street? 74 A. 11th Street? 75 Q. 11th Avenue. 76 A. Yes, I know 11th Avenue. 77 Q. 11th Avenue. 78 Q. Is this — referring to `Defendant's Exhibit No. 3,' is that a picture of the 11th Avenue terminal? 79 A. This is the picture of 11th Avenue. 80 Q. Referring to `Defendant's Exhibits Nos. 1 and 2,' is this a picture of 11th Avenue or Long Island? 81 A. It looks like 11th Avenue to me. 82 Q. How about `Defendant's Exhibit No. 1?' 83 A. This I can't figure. It is an express terminal, but I don't know whether it is 11th Avenue. 84 Q. Well, is it the Long Island Terminal if you know? 85 A. No, this is not Long Island. 86 Q. Now, are there any rollers on this platform? 87 A. No, sir. There are boxes running into a trailer — well, rollers. 88 Q. Do they have a sorting room back of the platform? 89 A. There is no sorting room. When they put the freight on the roller if the sorter is standing there he marks it and it goes along on a monevator. It circles the platform at 11th Avenue. 90 Q. What is in back of the platform? 91 A. A monevator. At 11th Avenue, there is a monevator runs in the center of the platform. You see, they dump on one side and they load on the other side. 92    93 Q. Now, is there a platform — referring to `Defendant's Exhibit No. 3' — where the merchandise that you bring in the truck is dumped? 94 A. Yes. 95 Q. Is that correct? 96 A. Yes. There is a platform on the other side of this. 97 Q. There is another platform on the other side of this? 98 A. No. It is the same platform. On the other side of this there is a platform. One is for dumping and one is for loading. 99 Q. On one there is a sorting room? 100 A. No. It goes on a monevator. 101 Q. It goes on a monevator. I understand. 102 The Court: It goes into the trailers marked for different railroads? 103 The Witness: Yes, sir. 104 By Mr. Kossman: 105 Q. Did you see the merchandise you delivered that we are referring to today placed on the monevator, or roller, move towards the trailers? 106 A. It moved in that direction. As soon as he put it on the roller it moved right along. 107 Q. Did you ever see the defendant there? 108 A. No, sir. 109 Mr. Kossman: That is all. 110 RE-DIRECT EXAMINATION. 111 By Mr. Hourigan: 112 Q. As I understand your testimony then, Mr. Radigan, `Defendant's Exhibit No. 3' shows the loading side, not where you bring the goods in, is that correct? 113 A. Yes, that is the loading side. 114 The Court: He says `Defendant's Exhibit No. 3' is only a part of the platform, it didn't show the part where he left this particular package, it was the other part; on the part where he left it there were rollers, it went on the rollers and started for the trailers, he saw it go down the rollers. That is where we now are.
