He asked me what date that was.

    MR. PARK:  I object to that and ask the court to rule on it.

    THE WITNESS:  (Continuing)  And I couldn’t tell it, I couldn’t tell him the date.

Q

Go on, what did you do then.

A

I told him after that - -

    MR. PARK:  I object to what you told him.

    THE COURT:  You simply tell us what happened.

Q

Where did you go to locate that date?

A

The way I located the date, I went to the telephone book of Sullivan and referred back to the date that I had telephoned for that feed for these parties, and I found according to the date on the telephone book it was on - -

    MR. PARK:  (Interrupting)  I object to what he found on the telephone book as the telephone book is the best evidence of that record.

    THE COURT:  Yes, that is correct.

    MR. PARK:  He may answer it then.

Q

You established the date then as the 24^th?

A

I established the date as the 24^th, yes, sir.

Q

And the evening of the day when you saw him was when you got your paper which told about the Golden murder?

A

Yes, sir, that was the first I had heard of it.

Q

And about how long after you saw him was it that you got the paper with the Golden murder in it?

A

I think it comes there a few minutes to seven o’clock from Grand Rapids.
