liquor license money for Licenses not granted.
To this he replied that he was not certain.
''Gf 1t should turn out that liquor license
money is not included is not your schedule
out Of balance by more than s70,OOO?" was
asked.
Not of necessity"
Does not your item OF S115 ,5S973 include
a check for $10,ot0?"
"It dces."
Then does not this change your iis.ribu-
tion OF funds?'
II am not prepared to say?"
Does the $l2 900 deposited in the Unicn
National bank enter into your S1l5, ,5S9.73?"
'I think So"
40 you know If u deposit of s2l 900 in the
Naticral Bank OF Commerce enters into your

Shown check on the Union National bank

same amount and that he knew of no other
check for like amount.
The stub book from which the check was
taken was shown the Witness who said ii
looked as though the stub referred to the
check in question.
witness was given an opportunity of ex-
amining Bolln's bank balance book and then
said that he thought the check and the stub
referred to different items
What do you say as to whether they re
late to the same transaction?"
II don't think that they do
Can you tell to what transaction the check
reates?"
81 can read the check"
Cant you tell by the records that the
check relates to "a transfer of funds?"
mo, sir; l caunot."
Does it not satisfy you after looking at
the bank balance book that the check relates
to one transaction?"
There is an item showing a withdrawal of
$1,000 from another bank"
IF that was transfer drawn on the city
funds to replace school funds does not that
in your schedule amount to n double credit?'
yes, sir"
Are you prepared to say that this is not
q transfer?"
"No SIR
III it is transfer you have made a mis-
take of $1,000 alone?"
Yes, sir"
ANOTHER WANDERING ITEM
Your schedule relates to an item of $500;
to what does that refer?"
druggists permits"
How did you include that?"
Il did not include it. l referred that 1t
Wis not proper to charge 1t to the bonds
| mem"
at is an error to put it in as charge
against the bondsmen?'
Mr.. Mahoney said So but l did not treat
it one way or the other"
Does not the $500 enter into the schedule
on which you base your figures?
mo, sir; 1 left it out of my footing of
| S1,2S3,OOo, as it was matter in dispute"
81 don't think it was in a city blnk. 1
| tried TO find where 1t went but could not.
| / found a difference of 81 900 or 81 500 but
| don't know if this $500 was a part of the
| amount"
What did you make an investigation
| for?"
"To find out where the $500 went"
| did you use this $3.50 in making your
| schedule?"
II can't say. as I don't know how it was
| treated I might have treated it as Board of
| Education money"
IF you treated 1t is Board of Education
money, why did you so treat it?"
Il took Mr.. Rush's figures. There was
money in the drawer and no man living
could tell where it should go. There were
| four Board of Education banks and you
could not tell where it went, so l don't
know if 1t was included. l don't think that
went into the undistributed funds at the
end of Bolln's term. l excluded it as a
charge, but don't know if it was included as
a credit to Bolln."
| Referring to the other schedule offered by

'It was made by Mr.. Rush and I had moth
