[page 238] Dr. Butler: You have passed a vote which has been construed to cover all this. Mr. Morrill: If I understand this it is simply allowing this attendant to give his opinion in a matter; and I think from the beginning we have allowed all to do it. It is not hearsay evidence, but simply giving an opinion Dr. Butler: If he is allowed to give his opinion, I understand that is to be the rule do I? Mr. Pettangall: When asked. Q. Have you any doubt, Mr. Motherwell, that if you had reported that case, if it occurred, to the superintendent,- have you any doubt that the attendant would have been discharged it the facts stated had been found true? A. I dont know about that I am sure. Q. Was one of the reasons why you didn't report it because you wanted to shield your brother attendant from being discharged? A. We are not in the habit of reporting attendants over there. Q. Was not that the principal reason? A. I dont know whether it was or not. Q. You cannot say? A. No, sir.
