No 2
II.
Mr. Cowan; - Well, I will tell the witness it is two hundred and nine yards, - a hundred and eighty four on the bridge and twenty nine in the swing.
Q; - So that when you saw the car, that particular automobile crossing that bridge, I suppose you shouted out?
A; - Yes; called out loud.
Q; - And the car was approaching the draw as you had it opened? A; - Yes.
Q; - Has this frequent experience of yours enabled you, given you any special skill to judge the speed of the car?
A; - Well -
Q; - You see these cars come so often? A; - Yes. I think I can judge quite twenty-five miles an hour.
Q; You have occasion before to judge the speed of the car on that bridge?
A; - Well, yes. When I have seen people coming over too fast I have taken particular notice of them; that way I can judge the speed of the car that night, I put it about twenty-five miles an hour.
Q; - You make a distinction between these jitneys and private automobiles? A; - Yes, sir.
Q; - What is that distinction exactly?
A; - Well, I notice the jitneys always seem in a hurry.
Q; - Was it the last trip this jitney had to make that day?
A; - Well, I suppose it would be.
Q; - You say they appear to be in a hurry; how do the jitneys that cross that bridge compare with a private automobile?
A; - Quite a lot all the time sir.
Q; - Did you have, have you had occasion to correct private automobile owners as frequently as jitney owners?
A; - No.
Q; - Supposing that light had become extinguished you would have noticed it at all events?
A; - Certainly; I always watch my lights.
