Mr. Klause. No, sir; I originally had a charge account at Monk Bros. But I still owe a little on my bill down there; and at the time I just rather had paid for it. Not knowing what the job was then anyway—I mean when I go down there and buy supplies for myself, since—I owe the man money, I try whatever I can to pay for, because I have got a pretty nice little bill down there now, and I do not want to run it up any higher.
Mr. Jenner. When you received the negatives, then what did you do with the negatives?
Mr. Klause. Well, the bottom part was shot, or picture was made with the camera at our shop; and then I stripped the negative in. In other words, I put the two top pieces, the picture and the bottom part together. And then made a plate on it.
Mr. Jenner. Made a plate from those negatives?
Mr. Klause. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. In turn to be employed in printing the handbill?
Mr. Klause. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. When you received those negatives, did you again communicate with Mr. Surrey?
Mr. Klause. I do not believe I understand what you mean, Mr. Jenner.
Mr. Jenner. After you obtained usable negatives from Monk Bros., did you advise Mr. Surrey that you now had obtained those usable negatives and would be able to proceed with the job?
