"Look at the book and see if there
such charge about May 18th or l6tl
1896"
There was no reply.
Mr.. Biggs said Clark's account was r.
duced from Il to 46 cents about tn;
time and he wanted to know whetht
that reduction related to the draft.
Witness said that on May 18th, 1S9
Carks account was charged with {
cents.
as that the same charge referred t
in the Telegram ?" Mr.. Biggs asked.
81 have no recollection of it," witnes
replied.
Does that writing represent the entr
OF the charge of % cents made on Ma
18th, 1S96?'
81 don't recollect."
did yon make the entry in red ink?'
"No, sir"
"Whos writing is it in?'
81 don't know"
did you ever see the telegram?'
II don't recollect.'
Mr. Vandegrift strenuously objecte,
TO the method of procedure. Mr.. Bigg
said he was endeavoring to substantial,
the testimony of Thomas S. Clark, to th
effect that he received the telegram iron
the First National Bank in connection
with the $3.50 draft, which Clark hac
said was made.
| The judge called attention to the fac
! that there was charge of 25 cents.
which amount corresponded with the
writing in red ink on the telegram, and
counsel for the defense had rig ght tc
show by whom the red ink writing was
made.
'In whose handwriting is tn. red
ink" Mr.. Biggs asked.
"W. N. Boggs," replied Mr.. Bateman.
"What does the red ink say?'
"Charge T. s. Clark 25 ce1.ts."
"Was it the custom in your bank,
when such charge was made, to cancel
the paper as that paper is cancelled"
Mr.. Vandegrift objected to the ques.
tion. He was not sustained, however,
and the witness said such proceeding
was usual. Such papers are cancelled
with checks.
"Would the draft be entered in the
cash book or the book for colIecton?'
Mr. Biggs asked. Mr.. N.ndegrift OBJ
jected and Mr.. Biggs put the question in
this way: eff Thomas s. Clark should
bring draft on Cuthbert & Co. for COL
lection, would it be entered on the cash
book or cole ction book?'
THAT would entirely depend upon the
circumstances at that time"
"lf Clark brought draft signed only
by himself would it be accepted?'
''lt must be signed by another on
dorser."
What is the date of the paper (tele-
gram?'
"Mav 10Th, 1896"
"Was that telegram received at your
bank?' Mr. Vandegrift objected and Mr..
Biggs asked: "Was that paper received
at your bank?'
"Ive no doubt it was received, judy
ing from the marks on it,;
"Then the paper must have passed
through your bank"
81 presume so.'
"Wl,ut is it?'
at pnrports to be !, telegram from the
First National Bank of Philadelphia to
he First National Bank of Dover"
"What does it say?'
"PhiladeIphia, May 10Th, f. B. Cuth-
)ert 4 Co.-25O refused"
