3374 Petitioner's Exhibit No. 274.
the decision was arrived at, made some protest against the license of the Greater New York Film Company being cancelled? A. I don't recall any.
Q. Then immediately after you made your statement, at that meeting, was there acquiescence by all those who were present, that the license of the complainant be cancelled? A. No; I should say there was quite a fairly lengthy discussion about it.
Q. Was there a single individual in that room who expressed the opinion that the license of the complainant should not be cancelled? A. Well, there were some who expressed the regret that it should be necessary to do it, because they would lose business by losing a customer, but I don't know that their final conclusion was that it should not be cancelled; I don't recollect any one who took a definite position of that sort.
Q. Immediately after that meeting was held, you sent the first notice of cancellation to the complainant, did you not? A. It was either, I think, on that day or the day following. I would not be sure about that.
Q. Who did you speak to about the license of the complainant, after you sent the notice of withdrawal, and before you sent the second notice of cancellation? A. I don't know that I consulted with anyone other than the directors of the Patents Company about that action.
Q. I didn't ask you who you consulted with ; I ask who you spoke with about it? A. I mean that I spoke to them.
Q. Who first asked you, if anybody, to again take up the question of the license of the Greater New York Film Kental Company? A. To take up the cancellation of the license, you mean?
Q. Yes, I mean speaking now after the withdrawal?
The Master : The second cancellation, we are talking about.
The Witness: My impression is, that I was advised that the negotiations for the purchase of the property of the Greater New York had been broken off, and that then I myself raised with the other directors the question of the propriety of sending another notice of cancellation; and they all agreed that it should be sent.
