Day 260 - 11 Jun 96 - Page 42
1 Q. OK. It was not that there was some formal decision that
2 everybody in the group had to go; that is not what you mean
3 by that?
4 A. No.
5
6 Q. In your report, in the last sentence, you say:
7
8 "All in all, a quite important day for the group and one
9 which was to be attended by several of the so far distant
10 members, namely, Dave Morris, Helen Steel, Gabriel, not yet
11 known of, and Charlie, also not yet known."
12
13 What did you mean by "so far distant members"?
14 A. That I had not seen that much of them up to that time.
15
16 Q. In terms of who was expected to be there, you do not know
17 where you got that from, whether it was something that
18 somebody said, or what?
19 A. I would imagine it would have been a result of several
20 people saying that they intended being at the fair.
21
22 Q. But say for me, for example, you do not know whether it was
23 something somebody else said; you do not remember a
24 specific thing where I said that I am going to that
25 demonstration?
26 A. I cannot say that I heard you say it, no.
27
28 MR. MORRIS: So, for example, referring to myself and
29 Helen Steel ---
30 A. Yes.
31
32 Q. -- which you said we were going to attend that event -- you
33 said "namely, Dave Morris, Helen Steel, Gabriel and
34 Charlie" -- that must have been somebody else would have
35 said, "Oh, they are going to attend"?
36 A. It is highly likely.
37
38 Q. Yes. Neither of us did attend, did we?
39 A. I do not know, because I did not attend the march
40 myself.
41
42 Q. Whether you attended the march or not, neither of us
43 attended the events afterwards that you were part of it,
44 did we, according to your notes?
45 A. I do not remember -- reading my notes, it appears that
46 I did not see you either in the afternoon or in the
47 evening.
48
49 Q. So, did this kind of informal -- people saying that
50 so-and-so supported such and such in the group, and
51 so-and-so would be there, was that fairly normal, that
52 people would say one thing but it did not turn out in the
53 end that that would necessarily be the case?
54 A. I reported that both you and Helen Steel were due to be
55 at the march simply because you were names of interest.
56 The fact that you did not turn up is -- I cannot say that
57 it was normal or otherwise.
58
59 Q. But I am just saying in terms of the general nature of the
60 group?
