ton. On the morning after the fu-
neral he went with Mrs. Wambold to
the Stuyvesant Safe Deposit Com
pany and took from Mr.. Wambold's
box fourteen 81, 900 bonds and gave
them to Mrs. Wambold. Mr.. VAN

company's safe. He only rented one.

Safe Deposit Company, was examined
and testified that Mr.. Wanbold had
rented d box from the company for
nineteen or twenty years at $25 a year.

son was authorized to have access to
it but Mr.. Wambold himself. Since

death he had deposited in the safe of
the Continental Hotel thirty-four
