You published a statement which you knew to be untrue in fact, in order to protect your business ; is that right ? A. Yes, sir. Q. You were, then, at that time willing to say something untrue and false and which you knew to be untrue and false in order that you might protect your business A. Yes ; but I wish to add at the same time that I told the customers that we would defend them, consequently would assume the trouble or the expenses to them that our answer— our statement would make. Q. Since you made that statement in 1908 you have become a licensee under the Latham patent, which you at that time scorned ? A. Yes, sir.
