Q;- You had to open up the brake to see the condition of the shoe? A;- No. Q;- But you did nothing to the brakes yourself? A;- I helped Smith when it was not satisfactory and I put it so it did satisfy him. Q;- Which brake was that? A;- The emergency brake on the right side. Q;- Do you remember how it was on the left? A;- I thought it would want a lining. The trouble was it was oiled well. Q;- What did you do? A;- I removed the dog of that emergency brake. It had been work quite smooth but it was, had not been cut. Q;- You removed the dog? A;- Removed the dog, took it our out, pur put another back in place. Q;- That was in October, and so far as you know the work you did on that brake would remain in that condition? A;- I don't know about the condition myself, but I know it has been working perfectly. Mr Ladner;- You are a jitney driver? What would you say about that brake on a car running everyday to Woodwards three times a day, and with the ordinary use the emergency gets, what would you say - a good condition of the emergency brake a month after it was placed in position, what would you say about the condition? A;- The lining would be worn down a little. Q;- Would it be in a good or bad condition? A;- retracted quite good, and on a run like that it would not be used very much. Q;- In a car going twelve miles an hour, driving a car weighing three thousand pounds, with another thousand pounds the weight of the passengers in the car, in what distance can you stop a car going twelve miles an hour? A;- I am not prepared to say the distance. It all depends on the car and on the road. On a dry road you can stop in a very few feet.
