The Notary.[underlined] I give the same opinion as I did
before.

Mr. Cohen.[underlined] I ask the Notary to say whether or not
the witness shall answer the question.

The Notary.[underlined] In this I have no right to order.

Mr. Cohen.[underlined] 24 In your answer contained from
lines 1 to 8 inclusive of page 9
you say "they deny that by reason
"of said contracts said defendants
"Stanford, Huntington, Hopkins, and
"E. B. Crocker received from the
"said C. P. of C. or appropriated to
"their own use or voted to their own
"use or voted to themselves under
"the pretense of being Directors of said
"C. P. of C. or otherwise large sums of money
"or any money, bonds or any bonds
"or assets or any assets of said C. P. of C.
"of the value of $7,000,000 or any other
"sum over and above the actual
"cash and reasonable profits of the
"work done and materials, furniture
"and equipments furnished and supplied
"in the name of and under the direction
"of said C. Crocker and Company or at all."

Will you state what was the actual
cash of the work and "profits"[crossed out] the profits, which
you there denominate to be reasonable
profits.

Mr. Sanderson.[underlined] Same objection and same advice.

A. I decline for the same reason.

Mr. Cohen.[underlined] 25 In your answer, lines 54, 55, and 56
