August 27, $155.00; August 28, $175.00; Septem-
ber 8, $300.00; September 19, $302.75.
Where did he get it? These are not checks for
$250.00 from Sears, Roebuck.
Then he had another account at the Hyde Park
State Bank. It shows as follows on deposits: Oc-
tober I, 1923, $485.00; October 16, $50.00;
November i, $444.50; November 5, $100.00; November
16, $100.00; November 19, $730.00; November
28, $175.00.
Business was good that month. December 24,
$400.00; February 6, $425.00.
That is this year. February 14, $230.00; March
14, $137.00; April 16, $350.00; April 25, $100.00;
May 15, $536.51. This was the week before the
murder and where did he get it? April 16, $350.00;
April 25, $100.00. That is 1924. Where did he
get it?
Mr. Darrow: Do you know whether any of those
checks were from one bank to the other?
Mr. Crowe: I don't know, Mr. Darrow.
Mr. Darrow: It might be well to look into it.
Mr. Crowe: He didn't get it from his father in
those amounts and at those times. Would A, B, C
and D explain it or was it won in gambling?
There has been testimony here that he had
Liberty bonds, and had not clipped the coupons
from them for two or three years. Well, if they
were the proceeds of a robbery, that was an act of
wisdom and discretion.
