"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.

"So far as I know, we three were absolutely alone in the building."

"Afterward, when North called at your office, you mentioned this
transaction?"

"Yes."

"Do you know how many shares Mr. North expected to dispose of?"

"Five, I think."
