Der of transactions, and they
were large?
A-They were numerous, I'd
say.
Q-Do you recall signing a
check for the purchase of chick
ems for the Farms?
Al think that was from the
MelwOOd Hatchery, and to the
best of my memory / did.
Q-But you do recall signing
a check to the Melwood Hatch
cry for the purchase of chick
ems?
A-There were several, now.
/ don't know which was which.
Q-Do you recall what the
amount of that check was?
A-NO, because there were
several and that's what's got me
mixed up.
Q-You have no recollection
of the amount of payments for
the chickens?
A-NO, L have no recollection
because we bought them at sew
eral different times and in sew
eral amounts, and I'm not sure.
Q-Now, do you recall, Mr..
Gray, signing any checks for
/ the purchase of ducks or geese
for these farms?
A-Well, I've signed checks
for ducks and geese, yes. think
one thing should be pointed out.
l don't know. I've signed checks
on both sides, and 1 don't know
on what side you mean?
Q-What do you mean by
your statement that you signed
checks on both sides?'
Al mean I've signed checks
for the Local and I've signed
Corporation checks, and you
could get me in dither on that
one.
Q-Let me ask you this. We're
the purchases of live stock for
the Summer Camp made by Lo-
cal IL from its treasury, or by
the Building Corporation from
its treasury?
A-TO the best of my know
ledge it was made on the Local
and not on the Corporation.
Q-Were any such purchases
made from the funds of the
Building Corporation?
A-YOu mean for stock?
Q-Yes.
Al mean live stock?
Q-That's right.
A-NOt to my knowledge
mean If it was done il was
small item, / would say, and
that it might have been through
an error.
Q-Now, / will ask you if you
ever signed any checks for the
purchase of farm machinery for
these farms?
Al believe / did.
Q-Were these checks drawn
on the funds of the Building
Corporation?
A-TO the best of my know
ledge they were drawn on the
Local.
Q-Purchases of farm ma
chinery, then, were paid for
from funds of Local IL, is that
correct?
A-To the best of my know
ledge, yes.
Q-Do you recall, Mr.. Gray, /
of having received any funds
from the sale of produce from
these farms?
A--Oh, when they first start
ed l did, what they turned over
to me here in town, and they
did that as rule, i think, up
until some time i'm as. II was
somewhere around that time.
Anyhow they changed that later. I
Q-Do you recall having re-
ceived any funds for sales from
the farms during the year l947? /
A-Weil, If they made any l
must have got them. l don't
know about this sale business
because, after all, all know is
what they bring in to the win
dow.
Q-That is not responsive. r.
asked you if you received any
money representing the pro-
ceeds of sales of produce from
the farms?
Al received some but Il
don't know just what it applied
to.
Q--Do you recall ever having
received any money from the
sale of eggs or poultry from the
farms?
A-FOr the year 1947 I'm not
too sure about that. l mean Il
did receive some money on eggs
and on hogs, or something, and
milk.
Q-Do you recall the total
of such funds?
A-No, l don't. 1t wasn't too
great, but i don't know what
the amount Is. / wouldn't know.
