More Than $1,000
For Dry Cleaning

A series of six checks in 1850,

over $1,000 in additional cash
payments for dry cleaning dur
ing the period under study.
A SIT charge appearing on
Mr.. Barrett's bank statement
and representing a check not
submitted by him to the sub

a payment to an awning
company whose records showed
additional cash payments by
Mr.. Barrett of over $500 during
1949. 1850 and the first nine
months of 1851.
Among the checks not sub
mitted by Mr.. Barrett, was one
for $40 in 1851 payable to a
hardware and heating concern.
This led to the discovery of an
additional $500 in cash pur-
chaseS by Mr.. Barrett from that
firm. A check for $3.50 to. a
Venetian blind establishment
uncovered additional cash dis
bursements Of over $4O0 during
