"A little before two."
"Do you feel at liberty to state the sum paid by your client?"
"It was three thousand and fifty-seven dollars, all in cash."
"There are one or two more questions I should like to ask you," said Moxlow. "You saw the money paid into Mr. McBride's hands before two o'clock yesterday afternoon?"
"Yes."
"Do you know what disposition he made of the money?"
"No, I do not."
"I mean, did he put it in his safe—in his pocket—"
"He did neither in my presence, the bundle of bills was lying on his desk when I left."
"You were not interrupted while you were transacting this business, no customer happened into the store?" asked Moxlow.
