A;- Well, as far as I could see there was no light there. Q;- Would a man on the street see it before he got on the bridge, on the road? A;- Where was it? AQ;- He was about twenty five yards from the approach to the bridge when he saw it and your machine passed him and he saw the danger; he followed- you were going so fast, -he say the red light on the bridge? A;- Yes. Q;- You didn't see that red light? A;- No. Q;- So if it had been there and you had been in the road but not in the jitney, you could have seen it as well as Johnson? A;- I don't suppose it would see. Q;- And hung on that gate? A;- My sight is excellent. Mr Cowan;- I think you said that after the jitney had made the approach and got on the level it began to get up speed? A;- Yes. Q;- That is, running on high gear? A;- Yes. Q;- From ten to fifteen miles an hour? A;- Yes. Q;- You think not more than fifteen? A;- No. Q;- And he was going at that rate on high gear, throttle open when you hit the gate? A;- He must have been going ten miles an hour. I would say somewheres around there, she was working pretty hard, trying, bucking up. Q;- And with the throttle open and high gear right up to the gate? A;- Right over into the river. Q;- Supposing you had been driving instead of Smith would you have gone over that bridge in high gear?
