 Crawford: And many of them didn't.
 Specific Evidence
 Healey: It is not matter of fair play to these defendants. It seems to me the defendants are en- titled to know what specific evil dence is being offered. Now, mani- festly, these entire sheets are not pertinent. I don't think MT. Alcorn will claim that every item on those sheets is pertinent. hazard a guess that number of the last total has no bearing on this case. It is put ting the defendants in a position of looking for needle in a hay stack. think in all fairness MT. Alcorn ought to indicate now which of those items have 8 bearing in this case.
 sheets, covering the period from May II, 1892, to December 31, 1882 were marked as Exhibit 369.
 MT. Healey then asked the witness the following questions:
 @. These IS sheets are not limited to checks of the city, are they?
 A. That's right.
 Q. These sheets cover all the checks of the city of Waterbury for that period of approximately eight months.
 A. The ledger card will show that, MT. Healey.
 o. Do these sheets show all the city checks which were cashed at banks other than the Citizens and Manufacturers?
 Shows Amounts
 A. I'd like to qualify that. These lists are used by our bookkeeper to show the amount of checks that come through all city accounts, the totals from those checks are trans ferred and posted against the city of Waterbury ledger account; so it makes one total for the amount of each check appearing on our ledger card. It is possible that during the course of the day, checks which have been held out for some pur- pose might appear on the ledger card itself, severed on that list
 @. Do I understand correctly that these checks include checks drawn on the Citizens and Manufacturers bank and cashed at the Citizens and Manufacturers bank as well as checks cashed at banks other than yours?
 A. It did.
 o. In other words, these IS sheets include all checks kept day by day in the active commercial account of the city of Waterbury?
 A. That's correct, except for indi- vidual items that might appear on the ledger card.
 MT. Alcorn then offered groups of check listing sheets of the Citizens & Manufacturers Natl Bank for the years 1882 to 1897. Atty. Craw- ford:
 o. MT. Heebner, I call your at tention to the last page of this group of papers now being offered and ask what is this lead pencil check mark found on that page?
 No Knowledge
 A. I can't tell. It may have been placed there by the bookkeeper when checking off the different items. I have no knowledge.
 o. By the way, for the purpose of convenience in handling exhibits in this case, has your bank any ob- lection to identifying marks like that check mark or any other marks placed on that paper?
 Alcorn: Wait one moment. I don't think he can speak for the bank.
 Crawford: It doesn't mean he can't speak for it. He knows better than MT. Alcorn.
 Alcorn: I don't pretend to know it. Those are the records of the bank and I don't think he has any authority.
 Crawford: How many months are represented in those papers?
 A. About twelve months.
 o. Would it be fair to say that there are approximately 15,000 items on those sheets, based on your ex- perience in handling accounts?
 A. I would say twelve or thirteen thousand.
 o. With respect to all of these sheets that have been offered here, none of them are your work?
 A. No. sir-Not personally.
 o. You have no knowledge of the accuracy or anything else about them except that they come out of your bookkeeping department. Is that SO?
 A. I know that they are &C., curate.
 O. You have no personal knowl- edge of the accuracy of these rec ords.
 A. They have been approved by the controllers office of the City of Waterbury.
 @. You don't send these sheets to the controllers office?
 A. Copies of the sheets to the controllers office with the regular monthly statement.
