Witness said that the ground to the west of the pole had been excavated and three pike poles had been put around the post to hold it in position.

He was of the opinion that the pole had twisted around just where it had broken, right at the base. He said â€"the weight of the two men pounding at the nut, he thought, would wrench the pole around.
