IX «•Do ' you mean that money was drawn which was not. entered in the books?” asked the District Attorney,. •'No,” answered the bookkeeper. “I mean that, vouchers were put through for expenditures which did not check up with the original estimates.” “Will you explain the discrepancies which were brought to light when tlic books were examined.” “Mr. Trent,” slie proclaimed in a Crisp voice, “would submit estimates of what it would cost to produce a program. In each case these figures showed handsome profit â€" oil paper. After Mr. Whittaker’s department ac- cepted the contracts, the actual costs of travel, entertaining, engaging ar- tists and orchestras, rehearsals and mechanical transcriptions, mounted to such a degree that instead of profit these contracts showed losses. The expenditures often exceeded the re- ceipts by thousands of dollars.” Rented An Extra Room “Miss Franklin, in addition to the suite of offices occupied by Whittaker and Trent, the firm rented, an extra room on the same floor for filing pur- llca day buys a now guaranteed REMINGTON PORTABLE TYPEWRITER with all essential features FREE- CARRYING CASE TOUCH TYPING INSTRUCTOR Writeâ€" : _ Remington Rand Limited Toronto poses, did they not?” 1 “Yes. On the same corridor, near the elevator.” “Did you ever see this revolver in the room we speak of?” “Yes. In a filing cabinet that was not in use.” “Do you know to whom this revolver belonged?” “To Mr. Trent. He put it in the cabinet with some other army paraph- ernalia.” “Just when did you discover that revolver?" “About two months before Mr. Whittaker was foundâ€"” Her voice stumbled, fell, tried to pick itself up. She couldn’t bring out the word “dead”. Her lids fluttered downward and the faint color drained from her cheeks, : “Miss Franklin, how near was your office to Mr. Whittaker's private of- fice?” “His was at the extreme end of the suite, Mine was two doors away.” “Can you recall the last occasion when you saw him in his office after six o’clock?” “Yes. It. was October fifteenth when Mr. Trent, returned from a trip West.” “Will you explain what occurred on that occasion?” “Mr. Trent had. been with Mr. Whit- taker most of the afternoon. Several times Mr. .Whittaker had buzzed for me and asked to see statements from Mr. Trent’s department. I took them in. Each time I entered the room Mr. Trent was striding furiously up and down. Be only stopped, to go through the papers I brought in and his hands were shaking. Mr. Trent said, ‘You played me once for a sucker. .Don’t try it again. I know approximately the cost of every contract 1 closed.’ And Mr. Whittaker said, ‘Come now, don’t make accusations you can’t substan- tiate. The statements speak for themselves,” “What, was Mr. Trent's reply?” “He said, ‘They speak for them- selves all right.' Every last one of them went through your hands before reaching the bookkeeping depart- ment.” “Did you hear anything more, Miss Franklin ?” “Yes. A little after seven, Mr. Whit- taker told me I need not wait. In looking up my books, I found some additional papers 1 thought he might need. As I was about to knock on the door 1 heard Mr. Trent say in a sort of harsh choked voice, ‘You can’t get; away with it. I won't let you. Not if 1 have to blow your brains out’.” There was a hushed; concerted for- ward movement on the part of spec- tators. Then silence that was a stranglehold. “That will be all,” announced the Prosecution. In' the afternoon, Max Cor. rick plunged into cross- examination. “MJss Franklin, you testified that you made up statements for expendi- tures in Mr. Trent’s department. From what sources did you make them up ! ‘‘Vouchers were furnished for every item of expense.” “Who furnished them?” “Why, Mr. Whittaker, of course.” “You drew checks covering these ‘vouchers and gave them to Mr. Whit- taker for signature?” “Yes.” “Were any of the checks drawn to cash?” “Why, yes.” “Shall we say approximately forty per cent?” “About. Travelling expenses, re- hearsal halls, a number of artists and orchestras call for cash payments.” “But you had no way of knowing vhetiior the money drawn was actual- ly used for these purposes?” Miss Franklin stiffened. She brist- led. “I had no reason to doubt Mr. Whit- taker,” came indignantly, Mi. Whit- taker would sign the checks. 1 would send to the bank for the cash and de- liver it to him.” “If Mr. Whittaker had charged two thousand dollars for an item that cost only one thousand and had drawn cash, would you have known that it was an over-charge?” “No. But. 1 feel sureâ€"” “Just answer my questions, please. Did Mr. Trent ever handle any of those cash payments?” “Not as far as T know.” “Where were the vouchers kept?” “In the filing room.” “And when you and Mr. Henshaw wept over the books, were all the vouchers in hand?” “No, quite a number were miss- ing.” “Therefore we must deduce that vouchers calling for cash payments were deliberately destroyed, must we not?” “I hadn’t thought about that.” “You stated a while ago that you never checked up with Mr. Trent and that as far as you know, he never handled any of these cash payments. Therefore the only person who could have had reason to destroy the vouch- ers was Mr. Whittaker. Isn’t that so?” “Iâ€"I don’t know.” "Can you name anybody else ex- cept Mr. Whittaker who had access to these vouchers?” “No." “Therefore, there was nobody else who could possibly, have done away with them?” “No,” admitted Miss Franklin after a pause. “So that we can conclude that the quarrel you overheard between Mr. Whittaker, and Mr. Trent was due to Mr. Trent’s discovery that his partner had defrauded the company and shift- ed the blame to him?” ' (TO BE CONTINUED) told. Here is an idea which enables you to serve doughnuts and not be embarrassed by dunking diners. The trick is to make them so small that they can’t be dunked 'conveniently and to make them so good that no one vyill want to spoil the texture by getting them soggy wih coffee. It is certainly a rebirth for the doughnut to be taken from the ham- burger stand and served for tea in the drawing roomâ€"....but wo hasten to point out that the tea ' doüghtnut is • smaller, daintier and even more tasty- than the variety we are more used to. Dessert doughnuts are made with fine cake flour and have that “melt in your mouth” quality which you don’t usually find in doughnuts; Because doughnuts can only be as good as the flour that goes into them, j don't expect perfect results unless you j use perfect flour.
