Mr. Hubert.

Now, what system is used by way of timing the various transactions on the receiving end?

Mr. Lane.

On the receiving end, whenever the telegram is received in the receiving office, it is time stamped.

Mr. Hubert.

It is time stamped by use of the same kind of machine that you have identified before?

Mr. Lane.

That we used before.

Mr. Hubert.

Synchronized to the national time?

Mr. Lane.

That is correct, and also timed at the time of payment. Time you actually give the addressee the money.

Mr. Hubert.

Stamped with the same clock?

Mr. Lane.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

By the way, all-of this time that we have been speaking of is central standard time?

Mr. Lane.

Central standard time; yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Have you anything else, Mr. Lane, that we have not covered?

Mr. Lane.

No; I can't think of anything that we haven't covered.

Mr. Hubert.

Have you been interviewed by any member of the Commission's staff other than myself prior to the taking of this deposition?

Mr. Lane.

No; I have not.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, there was an interview between you and me, was there not, just before the beginning of this deposition?

Mr. Lane.

Well, that is correct, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Have we covered in this deposition everything that we talked about in the course of the interview?

Mr. Lane.

Yes; we have.

Mr. Hubert.

Have you--has there been anything of a material nature at all covered in the interview which has not been covered in this deposition?

Mr. Lane.

Not a thing that I can think of.

Mr. Hubert.

Thank you very much.
