Mr. Jenner.

Do you recall the payee of the check?

Mr. Hutchison.

No, sir; no, sir. I sure don't. It just didn't enter my mind, Mr. Jenner, after it was that amount. I wouldn't care who it was, I wouldn't have cashed it because, like I say, I have my rules and regulations and if I violate them, my help can violate them, too--so, I just don't do it.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you recall anything about the check--the form of the check--other than it was a two-party check?

Mr. Hutchison.

No, sir; I couldn't. I couldn't tell you where it was given and who wrote the check. All I looked at was--it was the amount.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you have any recollection--do you know what a counter check is?

Mr. Hutchison.

Yes, sir; I know what a counter check is. It was a counter check. It wasn't a printed--it wasn't a personalized check. It was a printed check.

Mr. Jenner.

I'm going to hand you one of my own personal checks [handing to witness.] Now, that's what you call a printed personalized check?

Mr. Hutchison.

Yes, sir. That's a printed personalized check.

Mr. Jenner.

And it was not that form?

Mr. Hutchison.

No, sir. This was just a counter check. They all have it right here [indicating on check]---it's in the form of a draft on the Dallas market here. You have the name of your bank in print like this bank is printed in here. [Indicating on check.]

Mr. Jenner.

Yes. But on a counter check, the bank is not imprinted?

Mr. Hutchison.

No, sir; no, sir. It just has your date and "Pay to the Order of," and your signature here and, of course, they all have your micronized letters---they all have that now because each bank puts them out.

Mr. Jenner.

Yes; but they do not appear on counter checks.

Mr. Hutchison.

No, Sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Under the circumstances you have explained, now you did not make a mental note and you do not now have a recollection of the person to whom this counter check was payable?

Mr. Hutchison.

No, sir; no, sir. I sure don't, Mr. Jenner.

Mr. Jenner.

On these mornings when he came in, these were occasions when you were not too busy?

Mr. Hutchison.

That's right.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you have any recollection at all--and if so, state the extent of it--as to whether he arrived at your place of business in some vehicle automobile?

Mr. Hutchison.

Always walking.

Mr. Jenner.

Always walking?

Mr. Hutchison.

Always walking. Yes, sir. He was always walking. Because, once or twice, I'd be sweeping the sidewalks--I sweep the sidewalk every morning--and he'd be coming down the Storey side.

Mr. Jenner.

All right. I was about to get to that. He was coming down the Storey side let's see if I can put it in my vernacular a little. From what direction was he coming, normally, when you saw him?

Mr. Hutchison.

From north to south.

Mr. Jenner.

He was moving from the north to the south?

Mr. Hutchison.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Which would be coming from the direction of the Paine home?

Mr. Hutchison.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

And did you notice the direction in which he went when he departed your store?

Mr. Hutchison.

Yes, sir; he just went right around the corner. See, from my door there's only about 25 feet from the entrance of the door to the corner of the building. My checking stand is on the, what you would say, the west side of the building. He'd go out the door and just go right around the corner.

Mr. Jenner.

And in what direction would he be moving then, after he turned the corner?

Mr. Hutchison.

North.

Mr. Jenner.

And then what street would he be on?

Mr. Hutchison.

That would be Storey, sir.
