year. which did not appear on any of the
books as having been rented, and yet Mrs.

months and had paid the money regularly
to Mr.. Mosley, and produced his receipt
for the first months rent.
Mr.. Mosley repeatedly said during the
investigation that he had never given any
receipts for money collected. He further
stated that as to Mrs. Gary she was q
monthly renter-only for one month-and
that after that time she paid by the day.
