WIVTHROP ISABLE TO
DECIPHER BOOKKEEPING.
Ilevertlng to the George H. Squire trus
tee, account, the witness said that a copy
book had been found which was believed
to h- the account. The nrst entry was
"April 11. . S proceeda R. and T." This
was explained by Mr. Winthrop as mean
ing proceeds of Hope and Twine stock, hut
of tnl none had ever been owned by the
Kiultable. Other entries were equally un
lutelhglb'e. and so Henry Greaves, a clerk
in the financial department of the Equita
ble, was called and sworn. He had worked
under Oorge IL Sjntre and had made hU
entrleji In tbe account hook by his crder.
A P3ss -ok of the American Deposit
and Ian Company was produced by the
witness. The account was opered October
IT. 1 and the witness believed that
Don August 11. lS-. when the entries in
the account book began, until the former
date, the checks belor.clug to the trustee
account were held by T. D. Jordan.
The examination proceeded in great de
tail. The first entry, referring to rope
and twit e. wms accounted for by a check
from Williamson ard Squire for Se.ll5.
Williamson tnd Squire were stock brokers
and the witness paiJ their check to T. D.
Jordan and made the entry In tha ac
count bOOK.
"Can you tell u am thing about this

"I bell v. the K. and T. stock was col

to roam through the hills and valleys of
the Osage country until fall. Then comes

Along this belt of country the tempera

Is a more nearly equable state of the
thermometer and a well-defined calendar
