“Testimony of a witness that he does not remember whether a certain event took place does not contradict positive testimony that such event or conversation took place. Bender v. Roundup Mining Co., 138 Mont. 306 , 356 P.2d 469, 471 (1960); Tennent v. Leary, 81 Ariz. 243 , 304 P.2d 384, 387 (1956). See also: Comment Note — Comparative value of positive and negative testimony. 98 A.L.R. 161 . Therefore, we hold that there was no credible evidence before the lower court to show that the neglect of [the defendant] was excusable under the circumstances.”
