Garage Manager 1x THE Box.
Mr. Max Friedman, cross-examined by Mr. Newman, said that after the accident he did not interview the chauffeur; _his brother, the general manager might have done so. It was as a matter of courtesy that he called to inquire how Mrs, Turner was progressing.
Mr. Newman:—But your courtesy extended to asking her questions as to how the accident happened?—Why, yes:
You have told your counsel why the accident happened and you have filed reasons for the accident. When did you first learn of the cause of the accident?—I learned it a mouth or two later.
Was it before December 1—I would not, swear.
But you must.—I must not. I beg your pardon. I don't know.
Later, witness said it was before December.
