Q. It would very likely make a very big hole, one big hole ?
A. Fairly ; 36 shots would not make a very big hole.
Q. It should go into the same hole ?
A. No, they wont.
MR. BARCLAY : How many shots will a machine gun fire per minute ?
A. Up to 750, the Lewis gun, that is what they will fire.
Q. So that actually to fire 36 shots means the gun just to have been started and stopped ?
A. Practically.
MR. LAVERGNE : You did not hear any other reports of a machine gun being fired ?
A. I did not.
Q. You would know it, of course ?
A. I would know it ; it would have been reported to me.
JUROR LAROCHE : In the machine gun did you place regular cartridges both times ?
A. You cannot use a machine gun unless it is live ammunition.
Q. All loaded ammunition ?
A. All loaded ammunition. I might explain for the jury that it is the explosion that works the lever. Therefore you cannot use anything but live ammunition in a machine gun.
I certify the foregoing to be a true and correct transcript of my shorthand notes.
