Q Did David Butterworth suggest to you that you needed to spice up your testimony?

A Not one - he didn't hint it one bit.

MR FULLER: Now, your Honor, I am going to object at this point. I don't think that question is relevant; the question that Mr. Ranes needs to lay for the foundation has already been asked.

THE COURT: Objection sustained.

Q (by Mr. Ranes, continuing) So, your testimony is that none of the advised that I mentioned to you ever coached you during the time you were in the Marriott Hotel, in Oklahoma City?

A That is true.

Q I would like to ask you some questions regarding a trip on the way back from McMinneville, Oregon.

MR FULLER: Now, your Honor, I do object to that. I think this is beyond the scope of what we talked about.

THE COURT: One moment, please. Can you refer to me a paragraph number?

MR. RANES: Yes, your Honor, I'm referring to Paragraph 24 and 25.

THE COURT: The objection is sustained.

MR. FULLER: I'm sorry your Honor? That was sustained?

THE COURT: Yes.

MR. RANES: No further questions of this witness.

THE COURT: You may step down.

THE WITNESS: Thank you.

MR. RANES: I would like to call Garry Scarff to the stand.
