Sherman Hudson, foot of Burrard Street, False Creek, being duly sworn, saith;-
Mr Smith put his car into the ship in Vancouver on the morning of Tuesday October 10th and had me overhaul his engine for him while Mr McChesney put the rear end into the car. I finished the engine work thoroughly in shape to start Saturday night, While Mr McChesney and Mr Smith did not quite finish their work, I went back the next day and helped finish up. I left Mr Smith putting his rims on his wheels and helped adjust the emergency brake. After it was locked, she locked the wheel solid. I put pressure on when the wheels were locked and could not turn them, and he left the shop that after noon and that's about the last I say his car until I got it here afterwards, and only saw Mr Smith once, four or five days before the accident. He come in to see Mr McChesney and I asked him how the car was working, and he said she was working all right.
