of the service? A. The only inducement that I have ever been offered, they once wanted me to come over to them, and I said, "I know you have a first-class service, but there is another man in my town — "
Mr. Grosvenor : I object to this statement as hearsay, and as entirely irrelevant and immaterial, and not called for by the question addressed to the witness.
Mr. Kingsley: He made the statement himself. It cannot be hearsay.
Hy Mr. Kingsley :
Q. You may answer? A. I told them that somebody was using their films in my town, and they said, "Well, we will take it away from him and give it to you," and I said, "I don't do business that way."
Q. Do you select your own program, or permit the exchange to select it for you? A. Well, a little of each.
Q. Do you frequently make requests of the exchange? A. Yes, sir.
Q. For certain pictures? A. Yes, sir.
Q. At certain times? A. Yes, sir.
Q. Do they give them to you? A. Yes, sir.
Q. Do you find that they co-operate with you in endeavoring to furnish you the sort of program that you desire? A. Yes, sir, in every sense of the word.
Cross examination by Mr. Grosvenor:
Q. Mr. Peltier, you say that for a considerable period you had no opposition in Mount Clemens, and that, therefore, you had no trouble from conflicting programs? A. I have had no opposition in the same line of service. I had opposition, though.
Q. That is, before the General Film Company was organized there was not any trouble in conflicting programs? A. Yes, sir ; there was a little at that one time I told you of.
Q. How long did that last? A. Not very long.
Q. And excepting for that one instance, you had no trouble in Mount Clemens from conflicting programs, did you? A. No; there was nobody using the same service.
