ON the aGth or 9Th | think; bad a con.
yersation with defendant in presence OF

the circumstances In my mind when i
discharged defendant were that on the
Friday previous il was plainly showed
to me that the books OF the bank had
been falsihed In several important par
ticulars; I demanded an explanation

tons; he had none to make; l asked for
some bonds which had been ordered
from New York and paid for; be said
| they hail been sold: I asked where the
money was; he said it had been put to
| his credit: I had looked over his accoun,
and I knew that such was not the case;
1 told defendant that he must make this
thing all right in 10 minutes or would
have him arrested; lac asked 10 see his
father; he went with Mr. Osbiston to
see his father; went to the Gould X
Curry Office and saw John Msckay after
that: and about IL o'clock that night
he brought the bonds To me AMI
