Mr. Jenner.

Well, it can be done without taking offense to one another?

Mr. Stovall.

There's nothing at all wrong in it. There's no pain at all in saying "Excuse me."

Mr. Jenner.

Yes; and apparently he was not inclined to do that.

Mr. Stovall.

It seems that that's so---yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Have you had an impression as to whether he was an outgoing person or a reserved person--keeping to himself?

Mr. Stovall.

I think he must have been reserved, because the fellows who worked right with him, no one seems to have had any particular conversation with him. One guy invited him to go to church and he had such an unpleasant reception to it that that was the end of that.

Mr. Jenner.

What incident was that--tell us about that.

Mr. Stovall.

Well, the fellow asked him what his religion was, and he asked him if he would like to go to church and I don't know what he said, but that was the end of that.

Mr. Jenner.

He made it pretty clear he didn't want to go?

Mr. Stovall.

It seems that's the way it was.

Mr. Jenner.

And he didn't want to be bothered by anyone?

Mr. Stovall.

He didn't want to discuss it either.

Mr. Jenner.

All right; does anything else occur to you?

Mr. Stovall.

Not that I know of---the fellow had a good record of being on the job, I mean, he didn't have any absenteeism.

Mr. Jenner.

He was prompt and worked every day and had little in the way of absenteeism?

Mr. Stovall.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Mr. Graef said that he sought overtime employment; do you recall that?

Mr. Stovall.

Only by his statements that he made it known that he was available to work on Saturday and he simply had a wife and kid and needed the money and I'm sure that he did, as far as that goes, because of the rate of pay he was-working, living in these times, it didn't go very far.

Mr. Jenner.

Your overall impression is that he was an industrious person?

Mr. Stovall.

He was inefficient--I wouldn't say he was industrious--if he would have maybe applied himself at least--he was inept in this particular craft.

Mr. Jenner.

All right. We appreciate this very much. Now, you have the right to read your deposition, and make any corrections in it you wish and to sign it.
Miss Oliver ought to have it ready sometime this week, If you wish to do that. You may obtain a copy if you wish by arrangement with her and she charges 35 cents a page.

Mr. Stovall.

Well, is it part of your procedure that I sign your copy?

Mr. Jenner.

No; you may waive it.

Mr. Stovall.

I don't have any use for it.

Mr. Jenner.

You don't have any use for it and you don't care to come back and read it for purposes of correction, at least your curiosity might bring you to read it sometime other than that you have no desire to come back?

Mr. Stovall.

I suppose it is for the corporation--I should put it with our papers. That is my only reason for wanting it. That--the same as we are keeping these.

Mr. Jenner.

You have two employees here Mr. Graef and Mr. Ofstein---do you want her to write all three depositions or just your own?

Mr. Stovall.

Well, is the writing she does--is this the only reason it is for us?

Mr. Jenner.

No; we have it written up for ourselves and that is why you can obtain a copy at 35 cents a-page.

Mr. Stovall.

If there is some means of getting a copy of it--the only reason I was wanting it is for the record. I don't care anything about it otherwise I supple it might be of use. If this is out of order or anything, as far as I am concerned--that's all right.

Mr. Jenner.

It's nothing out of order at all---all she does is for the small price of 35 cents a page is just a matter of preparing an extra copy, so, you go ahead and prepare a set, then, and I would suggest that you deliver it under seal to Mr. Stovall. Do you want all three or just your own?
