Mr Ladner;- But the weight of the car, there was in that car twelve people, what effect would the application of the emergency brake, to strain, would it be in the same position as before the accident? A;- I see no reason why it should not be. Q;- These are very wet- A;- I understand the brakes are, Q;- Do you think that the strain on the emergency brake on that car can be figured out? A;- Not in the least, a good car would hold thirteen or fourteen people. Q;- Was that emergency brake touched or moved before the jury got there? A;- No. Q;- You remember the car was taken from the left hand side to the right hand side of the road? A;- We moved it over. Q;- Before the car was moved was the brake touched? A;- Oh, we tested the emergency brake. Q;- Before the car was moved or handled, moved up and down there Q;- That is before you crossed from one side to the other, before that time had the emergency been touched? A;- No.
