(Testimony of M. F. , Sr. Tobias)
Mr. Tobias.
my place up around the corner around a block and a half and he moved everything in that stroller.
Mr. Jenner.
Was that after the owners of the building had come and told him that he was making too much noise or too much trouble and that they suggested he might find another apartment?
Mr. Tobias.
That's right.
Mr. Jenner.
Let's see, this was on a. Sunday, wasn't it, March 3?
Mr. Tobias.
Well, now--I think that he stayed there, a couple of days, if I'm not mistaken over his rent period.
Mr. Jenner.
He had paid his rent, though?
Mr. Tobias.
Yes; he had paid his rent. You see, the last month that he paid, the books will show you that he come in there with $60 and that's all he had, he said, and then he would come back later with the $8, which he did do.
Mr. Jenner.
Mrs. Tobias has furnished your rent receipts and we have recited that into the record, so we have a record of that. He didn't move out on the 3d, he lacked a couple of days, is that right?
Mr. Tobias.
Well, there might have been a day or two in there in his getting out.
Mr. Jenner.
Did he pay for those extra days?
Mr. Tobias.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you ever ask him to pay?
Mr. Tobias.
No---I didn't. We asked him to pay for the window, but he didn't pay for it either.
Mr. Jenner.
Did he ever come back and ask you for his $5 deposit, the key deposit?
Mr. Tobias.
No, he never did--not to me.
Mr. Jenner.
Did he surrender the key?
Mr. Tobias.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
What was the appearance of the apartment when he moved out?
Mr. Tobias.
I didn't understand it.
Mr. Jenner.
What was the appearance of the apartment when he moved out?
Mr. Tobias.
Well, it was in pretty good shape.
Mr. Jenner.
It was?
Mr. Tobias.
It was pretty clean--there was one thing I noticed and that was when I went in there with the exterminator--we have beds in there, the beds that we have in there has these kind of bookshelves at the top of them, and he had worlds and worlds of books.
Mr. Jenner.
He did?
Mr. Tobias.
They were all Russian--you would see this Russian and this Russian and this Russian and that, but I didn't touch one of them.
Mr. Jenner.
But they were either Russian language books?
Mr. Tobias.
Well, that I don't know.
Mr. Jenner.
Well, they were books about Russia?
Mr. Tobias.
They were on Russia, because the headline on the side of it here was Russian.
Mr. Jenner.
On the heel of the book?
Mr. Tobias.
And. it would just be Russian I or Russian II or something like that and that was to me kinda--looked kinda odd to me; of course, I didn't think nothing of it.
Mr. Jenner.
Were they subscribers to newspapers?
Mr. Tobias.
I think he took the Morning News, if I'm not mistaken.
Mr. Jenner.
He paid the rent promptly?
Mr. Tobias.
Yes; by the month.
Mr. Jenner.
By the month and in cash?
Mr. Tobias.
That's right, and the only time he got behind was that one month--that one time there with the $8 and then he made that up.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you ever discuss with him where he was working?
Mr. Jenner.
How he was making his money?
Mr. Tobias.
No; you didn't discuss nothing with that boy.
