hAOM thdb 1ISIc Was any lIduO dOOue rs ~
wasn't my business to know; the
reason I didn't let the 500 20
is because it didn't occur the same way; l
presume that wasn't cash taken out of lie
drawer; the books show when first knew
that Loveioy had taken money; the god
might have been paid out while Lovejoy
was away and yet Loveioy have taken the
money; not that gold, but a similar
amount; did not converse with Mr.. Farm
ham about these transactions; think that
the explanation that Lovejoy took 1t is
sufficient; / was to have half interest IN
the express business; Reed said his brother
in-law, II. B. Beard, could use the notes; if
he didn't use them, the notes were to be re-
turned, and as much cash as was not used ;
I told Reed that Mr.. Lovejoy told me that
he had told Mr.. Marvel that he would
BACK ME TO THE EXTENT OF 100000
if I got the contract; witness testified to
the conversation at the time of the dis
charge; he said, ''Toru. I'm a good friend
of yours, and this is not my work, it is
Mr.. Farnham's work" asked Mr.. Farm
nam about it, and he said: Men that can't
get along with men that are in the Office
well, it's too long a tale to go into; if I'd
had my say, you wouldn't have remained
hero month"; 1 told Mr.. Lovejoy what
Mr.. Farnham said, and he said: You see,
it's just as 1 told you" Mr.. Lovejoy said
he hoped our social relations would always
remain the same; 1 had had some words
with some of the employes-Crombie and
Gardner; latter called me liar; was on
good terms with Reed.
Do not think that ever stated to Reed that
l never stole any money; the marks on the
cunts in the day book indicates that
they required no further attention from
me. The other check marks on the Items
are all the same-those which were carried
forward, and those which were not. Wit
ness testified that one item of $629.30 on
the blotter was not journalized, but had no
recollection as to why it was not; testified
as to other items Gas aIleged) not being
iournalized; they were dropped to balance
cash, but have no independent recollec-
ton about it.
Q-How did you know, in posting from
day to day, how to drop an account of dol
lars and cents. in order to make cash bal
ance on some future day?
Al balanced cash on the ledger and
found what was short.
Witness continued: Couldn'b state
whether Mr.. Lovejoy spoke about drop
ping any of these particulars. Mr. Love-
Joy got the money, and l saw him take it;
the cash books will show it; 1 left them
in the Office and have got them; dropped
from both sides, as 1 was told to, just as
did in the bank accounts; l cannot tell
about any particular entry, and could not
identify the money; know he was away
some, but can't tell whether it was when
four of these accounts were dropped; the
books have been unposted at times for
weeks; the marks do not mean that l have
checked back and found them on the jour
nal: Mr.. Loveioy compared the petty cash
book with the blotter right along and that
is the way he could have told; they were
MARKED ON THE FORMER
u. A. L. Mr.. Thompson here wanted to
explain why he did not notify Mr.. Farm
ham about this, but was not allowed to; 1
put the iournalizing mark opposite the
items not posted just the same as those
which were posted, SO as [ would know at
a glance at the page that there was no fur
Their need to look at the page; the items
were dropped to balance cash taken by Mr..
LoVejoy before he went away or after he
came back; he did it in the bank accounts,
and l supposed he knew his own business;
dropped the items from Crombie's cash
because the cash was gone; didn't tell
Mr.. Farnham when I was discharged be-
cause didn't know that Mr.. Lovejoy was
robbing his partner; I have frequently
been told that it was none of my business
what went on the books;
didn't know whether Farnham knew it or
not; at the end of the day found out what
cash was gone, and charged it to LovejOy's
cash on the petty cash book; it is not CO.
incidence that Just S629.30 was necessary
to balance cash; that doesn't indicate that
just that amount had been taken; there
might have been cash in the drawer; that
was simply balance of that account; all
of the items dropped ought to have been
in the drawer, and ought to have gone on
to the ledger; so ought these outside bank
accounts-but they didn't; perhaps Mr..
Lovejoy could give you those little cash
books. and they'll show how much was
dropped out. 1 saw money taken out of
the drawer by Dovejoy, and knew what
there was there, and charged the balance
on the little book TO Loveioy. At the con-
clusion of the evidence Mr.. Gilfllan
rose to sum up the case for the
prosecution. The Stunning up will be con-
tinued and concluded and the matter given
TO the jury to-day.
