Mr. Sig. Montag, General Manager of the Pencil Company, and put
it under my inkwell, intending to take it up on the morning
of Monday following.

I then came to the checking up of the cash on hand
and the balancing of the cash book. For some reason or other
there are no similar entries in this book after those of that
date. That's my handwriting. (Def'ts Ex. 40) and I did
that work on Saturday afternoon, April 25th, as near as might
be between the hours of 5:30 and 5 minutes to 6:30. Now in
checking up it didn't take me an hour and a half, I did that
in about 25 minutes. In checking up the cash the first thing
to do is to open the cash box. We have a little coin bag in
there, and there was in cash actually on hand that day about
$30.54; that's all there was. That's all there could have
been, and that $30.54 was to the best of my recollection com-
posed of about three dollars in one-dollar bills, about four
or five dollars in quarters and halves, and the balance dimes,
nickels, and one-cent pieces. That's some job to count that,
not only to count it, but to separate the different denomina-
tions, and stack it up into stacks of a dollar. I did that,
stacked them up, checked them, and re-checked them, and I
took a piece of paper-I haven't that paper-and jotted down
the amounts. To that had to be added the amount that was
loaned. In this case there was only one loan, that which I
loaned to Mr. White that afternoon. That would eventually
come back to the cash box. If there had been any errors in
the payroll the night previous, I would have had to make it
good from the cash-box, and it would have gone under the item
of "extra payroll." I don't know whether that occurred this
week or not. However, I added up the total cash I actually had
on hand then-$30.54-and that $2.00 loaned to Mr. White
