posted in his bank in the name Of Aaoiph

Andrew Blackstone, deputy city comp
troiier. testified a. To how city funds are
disonrsed. and that II valid claim had
been paid by the city treasurer to Henry
Fuhrman on July 2. 1892. the records Of
the city comptroller's otfics would show
the fact, and il could b sscersasned by
an examination Of the Cancelled warrants
and statement OF the city treasurer. July
2, lss2. was general pay day for city
employees and several hundred warrants
were issued and paid on that day. He
had made m examination of the records
OF the comptroiler's Office for that day
and brought into court the city treasursr's
statement covering the disbursement Of
city funds on July 2, ls92. as also the war
rants Issued on that day.
At this point the defense objected 10 the
Introduction Of the copy or list made MP
from the records Of the Office, inssmuch ~
the state had asked the witness whether
the $4,000 payment to Krug had been au-
thorixed or not by the records Of the comp
trolier's Office. long argument ensued,
but the objection Of the defense was over
ruled and later, on another objection. the
court ruled that the records OF the Office
must be produced.
