Q.  And  was  accustomed  to  deposit  checks  there,  was  he  not?
A.  Yes,  sir;  he  might  have  come  in  to  me,  and  before  the  bank
was  open,  or  something  ;  I  wouldn't  say.
Q.  Look  at  these  other  checks  which  I  show  you,  and  tell  me
whether   they   were   not   deposited   by  him   or   cashed  by  him


W.    H.    MARTIN.  447

through  your  bank— April  25th,  1893,  check  for  $542.80  ?     A.
Yes,  sir ;  I  suppose  credited  or  cashed.
Q.  Well,  which;  can  you  tell  by  the  stamps  endorsed  upon  it
whether  it  was  cashed  at  your  bank  or  credited  to  his  account
there?  A.  I  don't  think  I  can;  you  see  you  take  a  check  in
there  and  draw  $100  on  it,  or  part,  and  credit  the  balance.
Q.  Mr.  Roberson  is  your  friend?     A.  Yes,  sir.
Q.  And  your  neighbor  ?     A.  Why,  certainly.
Q.  And  keeps  an  account,  you  say,  in  your  bank  ?     A.  Yes,  sir.
Q.  And  you  are  the  President  of  the  bank?     A.  Yes,  sir.
Q.  And  aren't  you  able  to  tell  me,  by  this  endorsement,  which
your  bank  put  upon  it,  whether  he  deposited  it  in  the  account  or
cashed  it?  A.  1  couldn't  tell;  I  suppose  it  was  deposited;  it
looks  so  to  me  ;  I  am  not  in  the  bank  a  great  deal ;  they  do  the
business.
Chairman  Voorhees — Does  that  check  bear  the  en-
dorsement ot  Senator  Martin  ?

Mr.  Corbin — No,  sir ;  not  that  one.
Q.  I  show  you  another  check,  July  25th,  1893,  $14.64,  with
the  stamp  of  your  bank.  Can  you  tell  whether  that  was  cashed
or  deposited  ?     A.  It  is  just  the  same  as  the  other.
