Mr. Ofstein. They worsened before this.
Mr. Jenner. You saw him every day that he worked?
Mr. Ofstein. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. And that you worked?
Mr. Ofstein. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. And you had some interest in him as a person?
Mr. Ofstein. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. What was the reason for the difficulties he had with respect to fellow employees, and why did those relationships worsen?
Mr. Ofstein. Well, we work in a rather tight area. There is little room to move around in the darkroom, just about enough room for a man to stand by the developing trays and allow one person to squeeze behind him and get by, and he would make it a habit of just bursting through there head-on with no regard to who was in the room if anyone was there, and also we were required to get proofs of the work we had done on a Bruning machine, which is somewhat like a Thermofax—it works on the same principle of making a proof of it or a copy of it.
Mr. Jenner. I tried a patent case against the Bruning Co., so I know what their machines are.
