Mr. MacDonald identified the bank-

by him showed the amounts given him

"Can you tell how you applied money

Mr. Warner.
"In some instances 1 can, but not in

August 1. Mr. MacDonald said it was
made up of checks and eighty cents in
silver. The money went to pay claims

reference to the other amounts taken.
Mr. MacDonald said they had gone to
pay bills, but which identical bill he
could not any.
in another question Mr. MacDonald
said he did not call to mind another
bill which he could explain; that is.
just what particular fund or deposit
the money came from.
Attorney Warner then asked about
the numerous drafts which had come
to the bank.
Mr. MacDonald said that they had
been paid by him. He said he could
not give the exact circumstances con-
cerning the payment of the drafts in
a general way. They had been pal

the cash-book that this had been an-
other one of his methods of obtaining
