witness for the prosecution, and testified to
AZ l., = l. Al
of the deficit; that during August, 1879, Otto
attended but little at The Office, and the
money was supposed TO be in the safe; he
paid all warrants with money obtained from
Otto from his private business and once by
an order on the bank for 81 600; on the 4th
of August he needed some money, and told
Otto to procure it !; on the following morning,
between and 9 o'clock, he went to Otto, and
was then told that he (Otto) had
already been to the Treasurer's office,
had opened the safe and placed the necessary
amount in, a drawer Of the office, where Price
afterwards found it. Price also testified that
when the safe was finally opened, on the 18th
of September, 1879, and the deficit ascer-
| tanned, Otto said that he counted the money
on the 9th of August and it was all there
The latter admission by Otto was corroborated
by ex-Judge Craig and the Auditor. Price
never had the combination Of the safe.
Charles Steinmetz, the present County
Treasurer testified to demand on Otto for
the money, and Otto's reply that he had it
not and knew nothing Of it.
With this evidence the prosecution rested.
The defense made motion for nonsuit,
which was denied.
Young, foreman of Jonathan Kittredge's
safe and lock works, of San Francisco, was
the first witness for the defense. = He testi-
fed to an examination of the safes that the
Tilton and Mcfarland safe was easily bur
glarized by any expert, and that the connbi-
nation OF the Hall safe could be learned by
closely observing the manipulations of the
person who opens it.
A large number OF witnesses have since
been examined to prove the good character OF
the defendant, which is admitted to have
been excellent prior to the supposed defaioa-
ton.
The Court limited the number of witnesses
on that point to eight.
! With this the defense rested, and the prose
cptiun began ITS rebutting testimony, to con-
tradict the defeuse's theory that some other
than Otto could have robbed the cafe.
