Mr. McWatters. The only way he keeps a written record is if you are ahead of your schedule. He has a little pad, and if a man is ahead of his schedule, in other words, he writes, of course, we all go by badge numbers, in other words, he would write your badge number, your bus number, and if you was ahead of schedule he would write how much ahead of schedule you were, and——
Mr. Ball. Do you think he did anything, did he write anything up on you on that day?
Mr. McWatters. No, sir; the guy that we have down there now, if you are ahead of schedule he will come out, in other words, because he stands on the corner all the time, and if you are a minute or two ahead of your schedule he will come out and if nothing else, converse with you for a minute or two to see that you leave it on time and very seldom, I mean, if ever—of course, a report goes in on you, it goes against your record.
Mr. Ball. In other words, if he did make a record it would be by way of a reprimand to you?
Mr. McWatters. Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball. As you went on down Elm you left your post at St. Paul and Elm, did you hear any sirens?
Mr. McWatters. No, sir.
Mr. Ball. Did you pick up any passengers?
Mr. McWatters. I picked up within a period of from the time I picked up two or three passengers, I can't recall just exactly which stop. I have after I leave St. Paul Street, I have Ervay Street and Akard Street, and Field Street which would be three stops where I can't recall that, exactly where I discharged or picked up passengers, because I had the few passengers that I had which I came into town with.
Mr. Ball. Well then, do you remember picking up a passenger at a place other than at a bus stop as you went down Elm?
