The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1894-11-10

Mr.. Gilmore was again placed on the
stand. The name of Mr.. Lust was put on
the card in his handwriting, he said, on
the first of October. he was asked If he
could find any entry of payment in that
name on the cashbook. He could find none
Theirs were three people who had author
ity to move cards from the rack. He did
not remove from the rack the cards of any
persons Oh November 3. Didn't remember
removing cards of Isidore Cohen or J. S.
Sharp. DIDN'T notice any large envelopes
arriving for those gentlemen. He never
inquired who ;hey were and really did 1T
notice they were there. Knew nothing
about Mr.. Shane, who occupied parlor -.
He didD'i know whether or not Shane had
fitted during The night. Could offer no
solution why any men had gone through
the hotel without leaving any record on
the book. Witness did not know a Mr..
Gaylord, who stopped at room $50. He
was asked if he didn't remem Der making
statement two or three days prior to
election that Mr.. Gaylord was in the
house. He said he didn't remember that
he had.
Didn't know a man named Bernh ardt
Myer. Room 596 was bedroom. Didn't
know whether Myer was there or not.
There was no entry on the cash-book con-
corning Mr.. Myer on October 4. Didn't
remember seeing any card of Myers in
the rack. Didn't know Mr.. d. Newman,
and didn't know room $40; thought room
563 was bedroom. Looking at the de-
parture book, witness failed to find any
entries showing the departures OF either
j. Myer, ID. Myerstein or D. Newman since
October 8. These parties left, he asserted,
had they been there and without making
an impression on the books.
Having pleaded ignorance as to the
comings or goings of these people, witness
said be did not know who could give the
prosecution any such information. Didn't
remember anything about Lust when he
wrote the rack card; didn't recollect that
he ever had seen bin. Didn't see how a
mans card could get in the rack without
he registered. If it did so, as in the case
of Lust, IL would be irregular. Here the
memory of the witness failed him, and he
could't tell how such proceeding could
be done. His answer was to most Ques-
tons that be didn't remember. If the
name Cd a card on the rack was missed in
transferring, II was an accident.
How does it come" asked Mr.. McNab,
sarcastically, that the accident has hap
pened to these eleven or twelve names OF
suffers and to no others?"
The witness didn't know.
"Are you not noted for your good mem.
DRY of things connected with the hotel
business ?" continued Mr.. McNab.

piled Mr.. Gilmore.
mo; l don't think you are either" said
McNsb, witheringly. How do you &C.
count for the irregular practice of Harden.
burg, French and yourself falling to pu,
these eleven or twelve names on these
cards In the transient ledger?"
Il don't know anything about it."
"Mahouey has never acted as clerk in
that Office" asked McNab. land didn't 20
behind the counter?"
'sNo."
HAS Sternberger?"
mo; don't know him."
TO all questions as to where they could
get the information as to the identity OF
the person who paid the bills for the
suffers" witness referred the prosecu.
ton to the cashbook. During the entire
course of the examination the witness was
kept busy hunting entries in the FIVE ac-
count-books of the hotel, and it was with
a sigh of relief that he found himself ex-
cused.
