of the help took place, Mr. Schiff taking all the envelopes
that were due the help who had worked from April 16th to 24th,
inclusive, out to the pay-roll window, which is entirely out-
side of either my inner office or the outer office and out
in the hall beyond,--a little window that we have built. I
sat in my office, checking over the amount of money which had
been left over. This amount was equal,--or should have been
equal, to the amount that had been looked out in advance to
help and had been deducted when we were filling the envelopes.
In checking this amount over,--as near as I can recollect it,
there was about $15.00,--I noticed a shortage of about $1.20,--
something over a dollar, at any rate, and I kept checking to
see if I couldn't find the shortage going over the various deduc-
tions that had been made, but I couldn't locate it that evening.
After the help had been paid off, during which time as I sat
in my office, no one came into my office who asked me for a
pay envelope or for the pay envelope of another. After the
paying off of the help had taken place, Mr. Schiff returned
and handed me the envelopes which were left over, bound with
an elastic band, and I put them in the cash compartment,--which
is different from the cash box,--a certain cash compartment
in the safe, the key to which is kept in my cash box. I
placed them in the safe, and Mr. Schiff busied himself clearing
up the books and the files and placing them in the safe. While
he was doing that, I placed in the time clocks, the slips to
be used the next day. I took out the two time slips which were
dated April 25, which had been used by the help on Friday,
April 25th, and took two slips out to the clock, the ends of
which I creased down so that they would fit into the cylinder
inside of the clocks; and I noticed that I had neglected to
stamp the date on them, so I just wrote on them "April 26, 1913."
